Hello,
How many times have you heard in architecture school that you should learn how to sketch? Yet all of the produced drawings and presentations are from digital medians. How would you apply for a job with just sketching skills and without the meshes from 3d models? However, you can't always express your initial ideas through a lengthy process of 3d modeling.
I suggest to incorporate sketching in digital design work in architecture school. We have Apple and Android tablets we can input ideas, and we have Wacom tablets with lots of computer sketching programs. Even our phones have advanced to the stage that we can sketch quick ideas in. Industrial designers have always taken advantages of these sketching equipments and implementing them. 3D modeling for games have started to use the tablets in programs such as Zbrush to sculpt character modeling. The concept artist for games and movies have used computer painting in photoshop to showcase their concepts. What has the architecture field done to advance our sketching presentations?
So why not use use the technology to reignite our sketching skills and passion, so that the younger generation can continue to sketch on napkin tissues to impress our clients.
Check out my youtube channel for my attempt to catch up to the other creative industries with comptuer sketching. http://www.youtube.com/user/xie152?feature=mhee
