Start Painting Colorful Portraits in Procreate

via Skillshare

Overview

In this class, you will learn step by step how to paint a portrait that is full of color, realism and playfulness. We will pay special attention to color and learn how to push the colors of the things you see to make them more fun to paint.

After the class not only you will be able to paint portraits, but you will also be able to paint anything you see thanks to the color theory you learned in the process. The skills of seeing color and its many components can translate to so many art forms and I hope this course inspires you to create work from the colorful world around you!

In the class, we will cover:

  • Color Theory (value, hue, saturation, temperature)
  • Choosing a reference image
  • Portrait-drawing basics for Procreate
  • Simplifying a portrait into planes 
  • Fundamentals of blocking colors
  • Blending planes of different colors 

This class is designed for you to practice a lot with questions, exercises, and more! I hope you have fun working on tiny exercises as well as seeing your final project, a fully completed portrait, come to life with all the skills you’ve learned!

This class is for beginner and intermediate level students. Only previous experience working with Procreate is required.

To follow this class, you will only need an Ipad with Procreate installed and an apple pencil.
