Description

It is possible that you have already come across some realistic colored artwork on the internet and imagined that only very experienced and talented artists would be able to do that. But what about giving it a first try with exercises created for beginners?
What am I going to learn in this class?
In this class we are going to learnhow to draw a portrait using colored pencils. Don't be scared, because the idea is to study it with beginner friendly exercises. We are going to cover topics like
✨ Layering, blending and burnishing techniques;
✨ How to choose the right colors to draw anything;
✨ Two different ways to trace a portrait;
✨ The materials I recommend for portrait drawing;
✨ How to color a portrait from scratch.
Do I need to use the same pencils the teacher does?
No!The best tools are the tools you have. I will list all the pencils I use, but the idea is to have it as a reference, not a cookbook you must follow. As you finish this class, you must be able to choose the colors on your own, as every new drawing will need different colors.
Do I need expensive materials to take this class?
No! I will be using professional pencils throughout the lessons, but I've learned to color portraits using cheap pencils and bought professional tools only after I got more experienced. You can find some examples in my social media.
Project Instructions
The Class Project consists ofdrawing a portrait from scratch using colored pencils. If you prefer to choose your own refence photo, I recommend you choose something simple if you are a beginner. The reference I'm drawing in the videos is also used in the gradients exercise, so you will be already familiar with it if you choose that photo for your class project.
In the first part of the class, as I said, there are gradients to practice five different skin tones and they will be super helpful to practice the techniques of layering, blendind and burnishing.
If you want to start your journey in portrait drawing using colored pencils or want to review the fundamentals by practing with this subject, this class is for you!
