Sometimes, the key to capturing a person's essence lies in distilling their features rather than emphasizing minute details. In fact, color and geometric shapes are all you need to transform a photo into a portrait that fully conveys their personality.

Illustrator Luca Font creates portraits with abstract compositions that aim to surpass the superficial and capture the true character of the subject. In this course, he teaches you how to use Procreate to illustrate portraits with geometric shapes and colors. Choose your reference photo and discover how to see it in a new light.

Description

Learn to illustrate portraits on your iPad using a reference photo, from graphic composition to choosing the colors and shapes

Begin by getting to know Luca Font a bit better. He talks through his creative journey to becoming a digital illustrator, tattoo artist, and street artist before sharing the sources of inspiration that have influenced his work over the years.

Look at Procreate's primary tools and features and then make some important decisions for your final project. Choose a reference photo and decide on the format for your portrait before you get drawing.

Now it's time to start distilling the essence of your portrait's subject in Procreate. Learn how to work with multiple layers and play with transparency to create a sketch. Then, Luca shows you how to translate features into colorful geometric shapes and piece them together.

Once you've finished your portrait, create an abstract version of the same photograph.

Now you're ready to print your work. Luca explains what types of printing are best suited to your final art and helps you prepare your file to ensure you get a high-quality print.
