Fill your sketchbook with colorful, semi-realistic portraits by exploring drawing techniques and experimenting with values, shades and contrast
Drawing with colored pencils allows you to explore unconventional combinations that capture the unique spirit of your subject. Artist Gabriela Niko mostly uses them to illustrate people – their beauty, diversity, expressions, and emotions. She works primarily on book illustrations, art commissions, and tutorials, and shares her knowledge with over 350K followers on Instagram.
In this online course, Gabriela teaches you how to illustrate semi-realistic portraits using colored pencils and a sketchbook. Draw a person’s face, based on a photograph, exploring fun color compositions to create unexpected works of art. Build an artful journal just as unique as you are!
This is Gabriela’s second Domestika course. In her first, Portrait Sketchbooking: Explore the Human Face, she teaches you the fundamentals of drawing facial features in detail with pencil.
