I started my journey painting just like everyone else, from the beginning. I challenged myself to get better one step at a time by doing digital drawings each and every day about the subjects I love most: the people around me and characters from my favorite series.
I will show you all the techniques I use as I walk you through my own self-taught process to paint digital portraits in Procreate.
If you’re like me, who was someone that struggled with drawing faces, this course is definitely for you. Complete your own artworks by following along step by step with me and learning all my iPad tools, tips and tricks.
Whether an absolute beginner in digital drawing or used to drawing in your own style, I will help you take your artwork to the next level with this portrait painting masterclass.
Instead of a simple how-to video you watch and are done with or a one-way lecture covering basic techniques, I structured this course so you will learn the fundamentals in a fun, interactive way by practicing at your own pace, completing activities and getting direct feedback from me.
I'll cover everything from sketching the anatomy of the head and facial features to applying light, shadow and color to create natural skin tones.
By the end of the course you will be able to paint portraits of your friends, family or make your own fan art of whoever you admire.

Artist and Illustrator, Joshua Esmeralda

Hi, I’m Joshua, a self-taught artist based in the Philippines. Since I was a child I was fascinated with cartoon characters and drawing them. All it was back then was a hobby, but I realized it could be so much more.
In 2015, I made a new year’s resolution to draw everyday in the hopes of getting better, a habit I have kept ever since. Everyday, for the past five years I have been practicing from the fundamentals, to experimenting and finding my own style. I started from nothing and learned through online tutorials, books, and studying from other artists.
Now I work as a freelance character illustrator and have worked on illustrations for book covers, movie posters and concept art for international TV series. I have put together this class to summarise all those years of learning into one course.
This course will teach you how to use different tools likes "digital brushes," "palettes," and "blending options" in the Procreate app. I will help you adjust your app settings to optimize your drawing experience.
*Please Note: Students will have to purchase Procreate application ($10 in App Store).
You will have unlimited access to the class content for 20 weeks. Within that period, you can play the videos on as many devices as you want.
Quadpay is available for installment payments. Your purchase can easily be split into 4 installments paid over 6 weeks through Quadpay.
You will need an Apple Pencil and an iPad, iPad Air, or iPad Pro to take this class as well as the Procreate app.
We will send you an email with a webpage link and a personalized code to access the videos within 24 hours of purchase. Please check your inbox or spam!
I sometimes use Greg Rutkowski's brushes for textures and the default Procreate brush (Salamanca) for rendering
