Expressive Pencil Portraits: From Reference to Character
Set your creativity free and learn the art of drawing with 6+ hours of content and 40+ bite-size video lessons!
Artist Are Born, Not Made:
This Is Wrong!
⨠You have always been led to believe that art runs through your veins.
⨠You have always thought that these abilities are innate.
Â
⨠True artists never lose their inspiration and always produce masterpieces in front of a blank sheet of paper.
Am I wrong?
Well, these are myths!
There is no magical, innate art, but what you admire so much in others is just the result of effort and dedication. That's right!
PATIENCE, DEDICATION, PASSION:
these are the three elements that make you a true artist.
I don't want to say that there are not people who are better skilled than others, but I want to tell you that if you want to, you can become a true artist yourself!
My role is to help you in this learning process by providing you with all the tools and knowledge that will help you on this path.
What do you think? Let's start this journey together!
Drawing Is A Gift That Can Be Learned
Are you passionate about art and looking for a new hobby? Do you love drawing and painting but lack the skills to achieve beautiful results? Are you a self-taught artist looking to step up your work?
Drawing and painting are talents that everyone can learn!
I designed this course for art enthusiasts of all levels, from absolute beginners to people who have started illustrating already. You will learn how to observe and depict emotion on your characters' faces
Hey, Iâm Masha! â¨
I'm a Rotterdam-based illustrator with an academic drawing background and a design degree, known for soft, semi-realistic graphite portraits that feel quiet, emotive, and a bit dreamy. I wan to teach you a simple, non-boring way to make faces feel aliveâclear shapes, gentle shading, and lost-and-found edgesâwhile encouraging you to bring your own voice to the page. My course, Expressive Pencil Portraits: From Reference to Character, is a beginner-friendly, step-by-step program that takes students from ethical reference selection to a finished, shareable stylized portrait. Students learn a friendly head build (front & ž), simplified features (eyes, nose, mouth, hair), and clean values with soft edgesâguided by a warm, mentor toneđŤśđź
