Why take this course?

So, you'd love to create beautiful portraits but you've never had a drawing lesson in your life.

Can you scribble? Yes? Good! I've got a treat here waiting for you. Using the power of Procreate, I'll show you how to create some great portraits by levering the power of modern digital art techniques.

On this course you will use photographs of regular people to create:

A Pencil Drawing
A Pastel and Chalk Drawing
A Pointillistic Painting
A Classic Pop Art Painting
A High Key photographic effect that studios charge a small fortune for
A beautiful soft photo effect

These are all photos taken with a half-decent camera, but nothing very professional, and that's part of the point. My aim is for you to take photos of people who are special to you, then transform them into works of art they will love, and you can be proud of.

Along the way you will have plenty of practice with some of the lesser understood but hugely powerful tools within Procreate - Layer Masks, Layer Blend Modes and Adjustments. Use them the right way and you can end up with a workflow that is practically self-working. If you can scribble with an Apple pencil on an iPad, you can do this. But at the same time, the end result is determined by the choices you make along the way, so there's plenty of room for you to create beautiful artwork your way.

Sometimes it's not about the countless hours you spend practicing a skill. It's about know-how. Enroll today, and I'll show you how.

See you on the course!

I can draw and already know Procreate pretty well, but the course still taught me how to combine some Procreate features to produce interesting effects. In addition, the teacher is an excellent and engaging presenter.

Nice set of interesting techniques, clearly presented. Instructor invites to play along and try the techniques on one's own pictures. Not only for people who can't draw, more a way to enhance one's toolkit in Procreate.

Simply Brilliant. I enjoyed the course, I created some very interesting art creations ready to print. The instructor is very easy to understand and follow and that is very important because I returned courses for the difficult to follow instructions. Thank YOU !

I really enjoyed learning the skills that the course content gave me.and the instructor Simon is very knowledgeable and has a pleasant voice that is easy to listen to. However, I have so far found it difficult to translate the skills that I learnt into techniques that I can use with my own photos.
