About This Class
In this class you’ll be learning how to illustrate a stylised digital portrait.
You’ll be taking part in 3 super fun exercises to help you add personality to your faces while keeping your line work simple. I’ll be walking you through my whole process on how I create my unique characters, and exploring different ways you can experiment with hair styles, clothes accessories and colour to make your portraits stand out.
I’ll be working in Procreate for this class but feel free to use any other drawing software!

Meet Your Teacher
Hey, I'm Charly!
I’m a greeting card designer and freelance illustrator from the UK, mostly known for my stylised portraits and fun colour palettes. 4 years ago I decided to sell all my belongings and travel around the world armed with only my iPad Pro. I now run my creative business full time from my laptop and iPad, working on projects that I love, collaborating with dream brands and licensing my work out to stores around the world.
You can find my work online and in stores internationally on mugs, greeting cards, apparel, and more.
I love sharing my latest work, process videos and mini tutorials on Instagram and YouTube so feel free to check them out :)
