Concepts App - Don’t Overcomplicate It 

Thanks for everyone that participated in our poll. The majority of folks shared that digital media just felt overwhelming!! So, I made a short video of my setup and why sticking to your roots can make the transition easy breezy. :) #hopethishelps

Hey I really appreciate your videos, I work as salesman for a design and build contractor specializing in pavers, landscape, walls and backyard renovations so alot of what you do is very similar to what I'm doing. I use concepts to do my plans and I love it, especially since I can make really accurate scale drawings. Love the videos and would love to see more of your layering process, what your traditional education taught you about layouts, plant selections and linework and then the thing that gets me is your stuff is gorgeous and mine looks like dog shit comparatively. If you can get into the typography and how you learned that, as well as how you keep such a consistent design language through your drawings that would be great. Thanks for adding to the barren concepts app reference videos, it is badly needed and very much appreciated.

Thanks for the kind words! More is definitely on the way. Just trying to find the time to wrap it up! Keep working at it! It’s cliché but practice makes perfect. When I started drawing trees traditionally in school, they looked like sad broccoli and I’d be lying if I said it didn’t backslide a bit when I switched to digital :) Just got to stick with it! Also, find your style. Being inspired by others, for sure, but develop your own language. Once you’ve figured that out it all becomes second nature.

Is it just me, or are these videos being displayed in a way that cuts off the ipad surface to where you cant see everything he is trying to show?

Hi Spencer, From what I can tell you might be referring to the section about layers or me using the guide tool that may be out of view? I’ve been primarily shooting these in 9:16 format and focusing on one main area. For instance, the main topic here is the tool wheel and what I use there. I’ll be uploading more in depth standard view formats in the near future.
