[New Vid] 2D to 3D Concept Development
Hi Reader, -- David here from SketchLikeAnArchitect.com
I’ve just published a new Youtube video showing how I use design sketching for quick architecture concept development using Procreate on iPad and Sketchup.
In this video I’m going to break down my process of going through
- quick and rough 2D sketching,
- to isometric view,
- developing a basic 3D model in Sketchup,
- all the way to a perspective sketch and a simple presentation layout of the whole idea.

In the video, I use my custom-made Procreate brushes I’ve been developing for my work, commissioned visualizations, and book illustrations over the last 2+ years.
The brushes are designed to mimic real-life tools like pencils, pens, markers, watercolor and more as closely as possible.
If you're interested in my Procreate brushes, click here to be notified once they're released!
In the video, there’s quite a lot of techniques covered in just 10 min so please if you have any questions or if you’d appreciate more detailed explanation on any part of the process,
just hit reply to this email or let me know in the comments on Youtube, thanks!
Cheers,
David Drazil |

Hi Reader, -- David here from SketchLikeAnArchitect.com To me, these are priceless. Some arrive as a long email. Some as a comment under a video, late at night. Some as one line and a thumbs up. Years ago, someone recommended me to save such messages. For the rainy days, as a reminder of the why behind what I do. So I have - I keep them all. To you Reader - it might be proof that it's possible, that you can do it, too. Here are five from the last few weeks. Terri has been sketching cities for...
Hi Reader, -- David here from SketchLikeAnArchitect.com This Monday we wrapped up the Urban Sketching Retreat in Prague - a week-long experience of sketching my home city with my good friend Alán Ramiro from See The Lines. 9 sketchers from around the world, 2 instructors, and sketchbooks everywhere.
