Introduction to digital sketching

The course is designed as a setup guide for engineers, architects and designers to digital sketching.

It starts with downloading the Concepts app, set up your account, and activate the extended three-month trial included with the course. Next, you'll explore the interface and learn the function of each tab. Finally, you'll import a reference image and start sketching with key tools to get familiar with the platform and ready for more advanced courses ahead.

Sketching out loud isometric details

This course focuses on modern sketching techniques used to communicate and illustrate technical details as isometric views.

Designed for students, engineers, architects, technicians, and anyone eager to improve their digital sketching skills, the hands-on training takes you from a 2D detail to a fully rendered 3D isometric drawing. To spark creativity and support your learning, the course includes a collection of isometric examples crafted using the same techniques you'll develop along the way.

Sketching out loud isometric views

The course is designed to help architects, engineers and designers develop their ideas and sketches as isometric views.

Learn to turn conceptual plans into isometric views using scaled drawings, vector sketching, grids, layers, and colour. Through hands-on work with a site plan and aerial view, you'll set up the platform, import references, explore design ideas, and create detailed isometric illustrations—perfect for building strong digital sketching and visual storytelling skills. The course also features inspiring examples of similar details created using these techniques.

Sketching out loud plans with AI

This course is tailored for architects, allowing each participant to begin with the same base file and develop their design ideas in plan. It covers digital sketching techniques such as drawing to scale, sketching with vectors, using grids and aids, managing layers, and colouring styles. Additionally, the course includes transforming colored sketches or illustrations into renders with the help of AI tools.

The primary focus for the course is on facilitating quick idea iteration and enhancing effective communication, providing architects with a diverse set of skills to express and evaluate their concepts.

Sketching out loud design options with AI

The course is designed for architects and interior designers.
It starts with a base file and builds design ideas in plan form before applying them to real-world situations in perspective.

The training goes through digital sketching techniques such as drawing to scale, sketching with vectors, and using grids and aids over imported content. It also explains how to transform and match plans to perspective views, manage layers, and apply different colouring styles. In addition, the course explores methods to convert coloured sketches or illustrations into renders with the help of generative AI tools.
