Want to get really good at making digital portraits that look just like real people in Procreate?
I've packed my 20+ years of drawing portraits into simple, easy-to-follow lessons. You'll quickly see a big difference in your portraits.
Here’s the thing … mastering portraits isn't just about trial and error. Without the right techniques, you could end up wasting a lot of time instead of creating stunning art.
The quickest way to master portraits is by understanding the tracing and drafting formula. Think of it as a shortcut to nailing those tricky facial proportions every single time.
You’ll get really good at spotting and drawing the unique details that make each face special, and learn how to dodge common drawing mistakes. And the best part?
You'll gain the confidence to proudly share your portraits with anyone!

Rather than just showing off my own work, I want you to see what you can achieve after 20 hours of detailed lessons.Take a look at some of the recent paintings from Procreate Portrait Academy students:
In my twenty years as an illustrator, I've picked up many tips and tricks that have really helped improve my work and connect me with big brands.
Now, I teach those skills to artists like you and share tips at places like Apple stores. And I know exactly what it takes to go from beginner to Pro level artist.. So I can help you every step of the way.

This course is the simplest route to mastering portraits. Spend just 20 hours with us, and you’ll be drawing lifelike faces that look just like the real people!

This course makes learning portraits easy, whether you're just starting or you've been drawing for years. I've been a digital artist for a long time, and going solo at the beginning, I made plenty of mistakes along the way.
I want to help you learn faster by skipping those common slip-ups. You'll still get all the important lessons without the stress!
We'll focus on how to draw the special things that make each person's face unique—from kids to grandparents, and everyone in between. This way, you can draw anyone and make it look just like them.
A simple setup of decent brushes, watercolors, and quality paper can cost you a couple hundred bucks or more. If you add a high-detail scanner and a robust computer with cutting-edge software, your costs can easily exceed $1000 before you even start painting.
And that’s not all ... brushes wear out, and watercolors run out, which means spending another few hundred dollars just to keep painting. But with Procreate, everything you need is just a few clicks away.
Before I made the switch, I needed a huge workspace that took up half my room. Now, all I need is my iPad and an Apple Pencil.
With Procreate, you don’t need any extra painting accessories, computers, drawing pads, or scanners. You’re free to create art wherever you choose.
Turn your commute into productive art time, or spend a sunny day in the park with just your iPad, capturing inspiration as you relax.
It’s not just about following along. It’s about transforming the visions in your head into lifelike digital art on your canvas. Or well … your iPad.
We'll dive deep into the essentials like choosing the right brushes for different effects, mastering portrait techniques, and understanding how light and shadow work to bring your drawings to life.

In all my years of drawing portraits, I’ve learned firsthand that "practice makes perfect." Imagine trying to learn how to draw faces just by reading about it or watching videos without any practice. When you finally try drawing someone, chances are, it wouldn’t quite look right.
