Your project in this class is to create a digital illustrated portrait on Procreate, using reference photos, a limited color palette, and your creativity. At the end of this class, you will have a digital portrait that is ready to share on social media.

What you need:

To complete this task, you will need an Ipad with Procreate but feel free to use any other drawing software of your choice or you can also draw with traditional pen and paper if you prefer.

I would like to encourage you to share your work in progress, moodboard, and exercises in the Project Gallery of this class. The Skillshare community and I cannot wait to see your creations!

Gather your references and inspirations together. Here is the link to my Savee board: https://savee.it/agatha/boards/portraits/
