Bring your character illustration to life with this beginner-friendly, step by step technique for drawing faces. You’ll learn how to get proportions correct, place the features, even when the face is turned in different views. You’ll learn how to choose beautiful skin tones and colors, along with shading, highlighting and painting your portraits.

You’ll learn in detail how to draw the eyes, nose, mouth, and hair.

The lessons will be demonstrated in the iPad app Procreate, but you can follow along with pencil and paper or any other digital drawing software (such as Photoshop or Clip Studio Paint).

Whether you want to draw from your imagination or capture someone’s likeness, the lessons in this class are here to help you paint beautiful portraits. We’ll be using a version of the Loomis Method and learning how to use the Asaro head.

I’ve included some fun resources and worksheets, as well as some tips to help you get better, faster.
