Illustrating Expressive Portraits in Procreate

Aaron - Thank you so much fo sharing all of these wonderful images, I really loved seeing it all come together. In this exercice, I believe doing your thing and trying out your own style is totally appropriate, and it turned out awesome. I see what you mean about the body linework, but there's something so expressive and intense about those thick and dark jittery sketch likes that really work nicely with the rough colour appliqués and the watercolour-like effects of the shading. Love it, well done.

This is a completely different style to the class but I had some fun. I think i made a bad choice with the line weigh on his body, so i will use a smaller size brush the next portrait I tackle.  Hands are hard.
