In this class, I will teach you how to create and compose digital portraits using reference photos and your creativity. By learning how contrast and colour work together, you can use minimal tools to create eye-catching illustrations.

I will share with you my experience as a graphic designer and illustrator and go through the basics of colour, composition, and portrait drawing to help you become more confident with your creations. I will also share my way to search for inspiration, choose a colour palette and compose beautiful images.

You will learn:

What a limited colour palette is and the benefits of working with 3 to 6 colours.
The basics of colour combinations and colour terminologies.
How to find and work with reference images.
What composition is and how composition can help you to create an interesting illustration.
The basics of portrait drawing to get you started with your own drawings.
The basic tools in the app Procreate to get you started.
How to sketch and apply colour to your digital drawing.
How to export your digital drawing, so it's ready to share on social media.
This class is designed for beginners who are interested in illustration and would like to expand their understanding of how composition and colour work together, but students of any level are welcome to participate and enjoy!

For the class project, I will be using an Ipad with Procreate but feel free to use any other drawing software of your choice. You can also apply the same principles to draw analogically with traditional pen and paper if you prefer.

So let's get started - see you in class!
