Every now and then, I add an older tutorial to my shop so they can be purchased individually. This tutorial is from 2023 and it's about how you can draw a stylized portrait in Procreate! Basically, it's about how you can analyze a reference picture and build up your portrait in a way that diverts from realism - from initial sketch to final rendering. It also runs you through my Procreate workflow, from brush sets to how I organize my layers.
Key lessons include:
Which reference images are good jumping off points for stylized portraits, and which aren't
How to analyze and break down your reference image so that you have an idea of how to stylize it
How to keep your sketch simple so that your shapes and lines are expressive.
How to layer colors for a painterly and textured effect.
This video is 39 minutes long, and comes with subtitles and a cheat sheet that gives an overview of the most important information from the video! It also includes the reference image that I used, for those of you who want to draw along with me.
