Looking for holiday gift ideas for family and friends? 

Want something unique without breaking the bank? 

What to give people who have everything?

In this class you’ll learn how to make unique and realistic line drawn portraits to give as gifts for your loved ones using photos as reference. Print it at home, place it in products to give or simply send it to them digitally. 

Some key lessons include:

How to find the best reference images for your portrait

Combining images from different pictures

Secrets and techniques of line drawing portraits

Placing your work in physical products 

This class is open to all levels. It was designed for anyone looking to improve the line quality of your drawings, learning where to simplify things when drawing from a photo and refining your work while making sure your subject looks good on paper too. 

I will be using Adobe Fresco on the iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil and working with vector lines. I’ll brush up on the basics we will need for this project, but feel free to follow along in Procreate, or however you prefer.
