Mobile Softwares

Resources for drawing on a tablet: Morpholio Trace tutorials and stencil packs, Procreate brushes and sketching courses built for touch and stylus rather than mouse.

Tablets changed where design drawing happens. Trace over a plan on site, mark up a model in a meeting, sketch a section on a train — the value is not that the tools are better but that they are present at the moment the thinking happens.

The layer-over-drawing workflow is what makes these tools architectural rather than merely artistic. Import a plan, trace variations on separate layers, keep them all, and the sequence of options becomes a record of the decision instead of a single surviving drawing.
