Procreate for architects is far more than a sketching app.
A massing idea sketched in a meeting, a redline over a site photo, a color study on top of a clay render: these are everyday tasks where an iPad fits.
Most architects meet Procreate as an illustration app, then find it quietly fitting into real project work.
