iPad for Architects review

iPad for Architects publishes 316 course modules on Skool. It charges $27 a month.

A review on the numbers, not an opinion: nobody here has joined iPad for Architects, and nothing below is a verdict.

iPad for Architects is a Skool community for architects and designers who want a practical way to use the iPad in their work.[1] It is run by Henry Gao under the name Draw With Gao, and the group was created in 2024.[1][2] The approach keeps the hand-drawing habit of thinking in plans, sections and diagrams and supports it with digital tools.[1]

About iPad for Architects

The group covers how Morpholio Trace, Procreate and AI fit into a design workflow, including the use of AI in the design process.[1] It says it is not aimed at people looking only for photo-realistic rendering, or at those who want shortcuts without the fundamentals.[1]

Gao also sells courses through henrygao.com, which is operated by Gao Design, LLC.[3] As of September 2026, the Morpholio Trace Master Class and the Procreate Master Class each cost $497 in one payment or 6 payments of $97, the 3-Day iPad Bootcamp cost $197 or 2 payments of $107, and Perspective Studio cost $197.[3] Those courses teach a workflow built on Procreate and Morpholio Trace and need an iPad that works with the 1st or 2nd generation Apple Pencil.[4]

They carry a 60-day no-questions-asked refund.[4]
