Drawing People Portraits with Procreate Symmetry: Stylized Character Illustration

If you have a moment, leaving a quick review helps more students find the class too. Just head to the Reviews tab in the class and click “Leave a review.” I’d really appreciate it. ♥️

Your project turned out so nicely, Ellen. You’ve nailed the technique. As a next step you can try to challenge yourself to build something from your own imagination. ❤️

Thank you Iva 😊 I have since created a second portrait which features a girl listening to headphones with musical notes around her ♥️

That sounds great, Ellen! I'd love to see it if you have time to update the project ❤️

I've added my second portrait to the project 😊

Wow, beautiful, Ellen! I really appreciate that you used the lesson as an inspiration and created your own version with personal vibes. That’s how you grow ❤️

Thank you Iva, your kind feedback means so much to me 😊 I've been working through one of your other classes, learning to draw the stylised characters at the windows in the purple house. I find it more challenging to draw in the smaller scale but hope I can keep practicing and have a project to share soon! ♥️

That's wonderful, Ellen! Thank you so much ❤️ Yes, drawing at a smaller scale is more delicate with all the little shapes and details, so just keep going at your pace. I’d love to see what you make when you're ready to share 😊 Happy Holidays!

Thanks Iva, happy holidays to you too 😊

This is my class project for my first ever portrait I have drawn. I'm really happy with how it turned out as I never thought I would be able to draw something like this.
Iva is a lovely teacher and makes the steps of illustrating and tips on proportions so easy to follow. I'm looking forward to taking more of your classes - thank you Iva.
