Description

Paint a portrait with organic elements and learn how to digitize and share it online

First, get to know your teacher, Zelva, who explains how he got started in the art world, about his main influences along the way, and why he chose visual arts as a lifestyle and profession. He also goes through what you’re about to learn in the course.

See how to use different materials to draw and paint, and create a folder filled with visual references based on your own personal experiences. Then, discover some key concepts to start creating such as color theory, watercolor techniques, and methods to create a custom color palette.

Next, it’s time to get started on your final project. Draw your portrait, learn how to create sections, and add organic elements to generate a unique and original illustration.

Continue the course by dipping your paintbrushes into watercolors to create the colors from your color palette. Zelva teaches you how to use masking fluid and guides you through as you add the final details. Lastly, digitize your artwork and see how to make it into a sticker.
