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!

Actionable steps for a successful class project:

Take some time and think about your subject. Who do you want to illustrate?
Gather your references and inspirations together. Here is the link to my Savee board: https://savee.it/agatha/boards/portraits/
Create a moodboard
Play around with Adobe Color (online colour palette generator). Create colour palettes and get inspired.
Complete the class exercises (available for download in the Projects and Resources area):
- Exercise 1: Drawing from observation
- Exercise 2: Mirroring a photo
Set up your Procreate document
Sketch your portrait
Add colour
Export your portrait as JPEG
Upload your final portrait and exercises in the Projects' Gallery.
Share your portrait on social media
