Meet Your Teacher
Hello, I'm Divya Bhatia, a self-taught artist, born and bread in Mumbai, India. It all started with my love for drawing human faces around 8 years back which transcended into hobby and then into a small business. I am currently pursing my love for watercolours and urban sketching and I started knowing the nuances of watercolour only early last year and the love only grew.
I am so glad I get the opportunity to share the little something I know with all you guys.
Join me on this art adventure for learning new skills in the most simple and easy way.

For the project of this class we are going to create an easy portrait in Procreate following the steps together!
Please download the reference provided in the Resources section or, feel free to use your own reference if you want to experiment.
Using the techniques shared in the class will be of great help and make the whole process less intimidating. Be confident in using your own and unique personal style at each step of the way. Remember, capturing the essence of the face is more important than each and every detail.
Materials:
You can use any medium to do this project. You can simply use paper and pen, or follow my steps using Procreate.
