Learn from a self-taught artist who developed her own unique style creating elegant character portraits

No experience necessary! Even if you’ve never learned how to draw portraits, you will be able to take this class and learn how to draw portraits easily. I have prepared simple techniques that will help you create beautiful works of art, just like me!

The Secret of Proportions

Starting by learning the structure of bones, muscles, and movements can be a little difficult and honestly kind of boring. Instead, I'm going to help you draw characters with proportions that will transform your drawing into a portrait more beautiful than photos. There is a magic to my ratios that makes my portraits different from reality.

You can create chic and trendy portraits by using different angles.

Glamorous looks are made by the angle of the face and the “gaze” treatment. Even the slightest difference in turning, lifting or lowering a face can produce subtle lines that you can't create otherwise. Depending on where your subjects are looking, you can make your portrait look even better. Learn how to find attractive face angles and make it look as though the portrait is making eye contact with viewers.

Hyun Mi will teach you how to add atmosphere to your character portraits.

If you draw green leaves or flowers with the character, the character's personality or mood will become more visible. Of course, it also adds something more to see, so the quality of the picture is even higher! Learn how to find and draw plants or flowers that go well with the image of each person.

I'll also give you tips on adding a glamorous hairstyle and how to find a color scheme that always works!

With a few simple lines and basic coloring techniques, you’ll be able to master drawing glamorous colored pencil portraits.
