Become A Portrait Artist | Understanding the Basics Part I

Hey Raphael, thank you for uploading your project AND leaving your review. Nice work here. Your line work is confident and clean, and the overall composition reads really well. The proportions are solid too, which tells me you have a good underlying sense of structure, even when working quickly. Since you mentioned moving fast, the next step would be slowing things down just enough to layer in a few of the techniques you skipped. That’s where you’ll start to see an even bigger jump in control and clarity. Overall, this is a strong check-in point and a great way to assess where you’re at. You’re definitely on the right track. Keep going.

Really strong start, Raphael. The line confidence and facial structure already show a good sense of form and observation. Excited to see where you take this next 🙂

Procreate on IPad. I went to fast, I just wanted to see if I could do it, I left some techniques out. I just wanted to see where I was at.
