Take your drawing skills to the next level


Whether as a hobby artist, professional illustrator, art student, game artist / concept artist / 2D/3D artist, character designer or graphic designer: drawing skills in the portrait field are in demand everywhere.

In this course, you will learn step by step and in detail how to create beautiful portraits from your imagination and in different styles. With this you can deepen your hobby, turn it into a profession or take your existing artistic profession to the next level with better portfolio work.

Content & Overview

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced artist, in this course you will learn everything you need to know about portraiture.


In an introduction, you will learn what the head is made of and how to break down the complex anatomical structures into simple shapes. In individual lessons about facial features and emotions, you will acquire more detailed knowledge in order to be able to draw realistic portraits. Afterwards, I will show you in numerous different examples how to apply the acquired knowledge, construct heads and draw individual portraits of every person from this world – no matter which age, ethnicity, gender or emotion.

After completing the course and all the exercises you will be able to draw your own portraits completely from imagination, in different styles and in every perspective.

You will also have acquired basic drawing techniques to draw other things and to modify your portraits. Whether cartoon-, alien-, or other portraits: you will be able to put everything on digital paper. Although the course is designed for digital work, many of the techniques can be transferred to traditional drawing outside of Photoshop or to other digital drawing programs.

I will provide you with numerous exercise sheets, additional materials, editing tricks in Photoshop and insider tips so that you can improve quickly and never again get into an artist block with portrait drawing.

If you finish the course completely and have worked on it really carefully, you will certainly become a very good (portrait) artist.

This self-learning course includes over 60 lessons and over 4 hours of on demand video material. No feedback included.

Who this course is for:

  • hobby artists, who want to learn how to draw portraits (with pencil oder digital drawing programs)
  • art/design/illustration-students, who want to learn how to draw or improve their portraits and drawing techniques
  • professional artists (illustrators, graphic designers, concept artists, game artists, etc.) who want to improve their drawing skills even further
  • everyone, who does not want to spend thousands of dollars and hours for art school and who wants to get all the important knowledge and training for portrait drawing in one place
