For years I have made or modified my architectural renderings using a digitizing pad and stylus on Photoshop.  This took  about a year for me to learn to detach my hand from my eye as I moved the stylus on the digitizing pad in my lap while I looked up at the screen.  I recently did the above sketches in the field with a stylus directly onto the screen of my iPad using Paper by "53".  Compared to Photoshop, Paper is pretty primitive with limited pen points and with my iPad version, the stylus is not pressure sensitive.  Paper is suppose to have a very intuitive interface, but I think it's intuitive for the younger generation since there is no apparent way to save a file.  You are suppose to "share" it.  Turns out to save a file you "share" it with yourself.  Anyway, for me it was an interesting experience, like learning to draw again by reattaching my hand and my eye.
