The Masterclass
Less fluff, more substance.
This Masterclass is built for Procreate users who want to master realistic character portraits > step by step, no guesswork.
You’ll start with the basics and build up your skills step by step.
No prior experience needed.
Here’s what’s inside:
7.5 hours of voiceover video tutorials, fully in real-time.
5 downloadable workbooks.
Dozens of brushes, canvas setups, bust templates & color swatches.
Layered project files to study every step in detail.
No extra brushes needed – everything I use is included.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up, you’ll learn how to turn solid sketches into portraits that feel alive.
Video Tutorials & Workbooks
This course isn’t just about watching – it’s about doing. You’ll get a workbook to draw along with the videos or go at your own pace whenever things feel a bit too fast.
Fundamentals
I won’t just show you how, I’ll explain why. We’ll cover the basics like DPI, PPI, color modes and canvas setup – no tech jargon, just the stuff you actually need to know.
Step By Step
Every step comes with my layered files, so you can compare your progress with mine – or keep painting directly in my file if you get stuck and want to keep following along. No pressure, just progress.
From Sketch to Final – Together
After we cover the basics, we’ll bring it all together by creating the artwork above from scratch.
You’ll see the entire process in real-time: sketching, refining, painting, panicking a little (just kidding… kinda), adding details, tweaking colors, and finally exporting the finished piece.
I’ll talk you through every step, including all the little thoughts and weird habits that actually make a difference.
