Do Any of These Sound Familiar?
😩 The fear of making mistakes when sketching holds you back and stops you from confidently expressing your best ideas.
🖨️ Losing hours printing drawings just to sketch over them.
📁 Post-production takes a ton of time with all the scanning (and rescanning), photoshopping, editing, and endless file management.
🖥️ You’re tied down to the office and your computer, scanner, printer, etc.
✏️ You lean a bit too heavily on the computer process and feel like you’re losing touch with the artistry and essence of design.
Imagine if These Described Your Workflow Instead
You can fully immerse yourself into sketching without the fear of making mistakes.
It’s never been more fun for you to draw, and the end results have never been better.
You can tell colleagues and clients love your work & presentations, which you can share in a couple of clicks.

Every module ensures you can easily find the exact lesson, tip, case study, workflow, etc., with one click using the time-stamped recording feature.
Plus, I break down each module into 3 components:
Use Scenario. I show you exactly what I’m using Morpholio Trace’s features for and ensure you understand how to apply them to different applications based on your unique needs.
Feature Demonstration. I’ll give you a step-by-step walkthrough of ALL the features I use in every workflow. But I won’t bother you with unnecessary features and will cover only the ones you’ll actually use.
Companion Workbook (Student Practice). You’ll get downloadable exercises and case studies for practice and further analysis. Meaning you can actively learn and see how to apply everything in practice.
I understand you’re strapped for time.
That’s why I made the program so easy to consume and incorporate into your current process without any halts or project delays.
Thanks to my Golden Retriever Study Plan, you can learn the ins and outs of Morpholio Trace in 4.5 hours spread out over less than 10 minutes per day and less than 1 hour per week.
Or you can see dramatic improvement in 7 days.
I understand your needs are unique.

Plus, you get one-on-one support and a chance to ask as many questions and seek further explanations as you like.
I understand you don’t want to overspend to improve your workflow.
That’s why I’m not only making this available at a special (time-limited) price…
but I’ve also added guarantees to ensure your investment in the program feels completely safe.
I understand you’re skeptical about my promises.
That’s why I invite you to check out the results and stories of some of my 3,500+ students below.
Many were also strapped for time, stuck using under-optimized processes, and eager yet reluctant to make the first step to leveraging the power of digital.
My methods & training have worked for them. I’m confident they will for you too as long as you’re willing to put in the work and apply what you learn.

Meet Your Mentor
Hi, I’m Henry Gao. Trained as an architect in the U.S. and Canada, I now help architects, interior designers, and landscape architects make the leap from traditional hand drawing to fast, flexible digital drawing on the iPad.
My work has been featured in the 30X40 Design Workshop, Practice of Architecture, and Dwell. Over the years, I’ve guided thousands of design professionals to completely transform their workflow—saving time, cutting costs, and freeing up space to actually enjoy the creative side of the job.
What started as a small YouTube channel during the pandemic has now grown to 57,000 subscribers and over 2.7 million views. I also run the largest iPad for Architects community, where students get ongoing guidance, feedback, and advanced training.
Now, I’m pulling back the curtain to share the exact blueprint I use—so you can craft a unique iPad workflow that works for you, ditch the clunky traditional tools, skip the over-complicated software, and reclaim your time (and sanity) as a designer.

I found it tedious to draw by hand so I started to rely more on digital CAD tools, which made me disconnect my hands from my creative process. I think the procreate course is a great way to reconnect with my hands while designing.

This course is something I have been curious about and searching for for a really long time. Hand sketching and drafting was something I did in school, but after practicing architecture mostly in 3D modeling software, I have become very reliant on digital tools. I believe that Henry bridged this gap for me with this course.
