A solid course for all skill levels—whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your architectural sketching in Procreate. The lessons on perspective, lighting, and composition are clear and thoughtfully paced. To improve, it could include more advanced case studies and techniques for experienced users. Overall, it’s an inspiring and practical course that helped me sharpen both fundamentals and artistic confidence.Highly recommended.

This course offered a comprehensive and well-paced introduction to architectural sketching. I appreciated how it balanced fundamental sketching techniques with digital tools, especially the clear explanations on perspective, linework, and material textures. The lessons on light, shadow, and color theory helped me bring depth and realism to my sketches. I also found the final composition and storytelling section valuable for creating more engaging presentations. For improvement, the course could offer more opportunities to practice combining multiple concepts—like applying perspective, material textures, and lighting together in a single project—to better simulate real-world architectural sketching challenges. It would also be helpful to include clearer guidance on how to prioritize elements within a sketch to enhance storytelling and composition. Overall, this course significantly improved my confidence, combining technical accuracy with artistic expression, which has enhanced both my workflow and presentation skills. Recommended.

This course was a fantastic introduction to architectural sketching with Procreate. I loved how it combined design fundamentals with digital tools, especially the sections on light, shadow, and material expression. The lessons were concise and easy to follow, and the quizzes helped solidify key concepts. It really boosted my confidence in using Procreate to create dynamic, professional sketches. I would have appreciated more advanced tips or time-lapse demos in the final module, but overall, it was a valuable, creative learning experience that brought my architectural ideas to life visually.

This course offers a comprehensive and well-structured introduction to architectural sketching using Procreate. I appreciated the clear progression—from the fundamentals of sketching and Procreate essentials, through mastering perspective and geometry, to advanced techniques like texture, light, and color theory. The balance between technical skills (like using grids and drawing geometric forms) and creative expression (such as storytelling and composition) was excellent. The quizzes and assignments after each topic helped reinforce learning and practice key skills. I especially valued the lessons on digital representation of materials and applying light and shadow, which brought my sketches to life. For improvement, downloadable brushes and more real-time demos would enhance the hands-on experience. A brief module on exporting work for portfolios or presentations would also be helpful. Overall, this course gave me confidence and practical skills to create professional-quality architectural illustrations, perfectly blending traditional principles with digital tools.
