Learn to Draw Beautiful Portraits & Alluring Characters with Zeronis

Digital Portrait Class with
Artist, Zeronis

WHAT IS THIS CLASS ABOUT?

You will learn how to draw and paint beautiful character portraits on the go using a tablet or iPad. I will teach you how to look at characters or amazing photographs of paintings and translate them into hand drawn portraits even if you’re a beginner with no formal art skills or training. I would love to teach you this wonderful skill that I can show you how it can be done in a fun and straightforward way using a tablet or iPad Pro.

WHO IS THIS CLASS FOR?

This course is for anyone, beginner to intermediate level artists, who want to learn how to paint, draw portraits. Whether you’re looking for a new hobby or an aspiring artist wants to draw illustrations, this will be an entertaining and unique way to approach drawing portraits and digital painting on an iPad Pro. You will be required to have IPad Pro with the Procreate app installed, with an optional Apple Pencil (I use my finger to draw and paint on IPad Pro, you can try it as well!)

WHAT WILL THE STUDENTS ACHIEVE?

By the end of this course, you will understand the basics of drawing cute anime faces, anatomy, and cute poses. You will know basic coloring, blending and shading techniques using Copic Markers. When you are done, you would have created an original, kawaii anime character of your own! As a bonus, I will also explain my own personal method of how to stay inspired and come up with original ideas, and my own experience of growing as an artist on social media.

Meet Your Creator

Zeronis

Hey everyone! My name is Paul Kwon, aka Zero; I’m currently a full-time professional artist based in LA. I have worked in the game industry for 15+ years and started my career working for Blizzard Entertainment. After that, I joined Riot Games, designing many iconic and fun characters for League of Legends for the past 10 years. I went to Art Center College of Design in Pasadena 3 years before leaving to join Riot. I am a mostly self-taught artist. I really enjoyed creating powerful, yet beautiful female characters. I often draw my own feelings and even draw and paint female character portraits for fun in my personal time! Over the years, many aspiring artists have requested that I do mentorship or teaching a class. Since I’ve been in their shoes, starting in the art career before, I wanted to help make a difference in sharing my knowledge effectively. I thought Class 101 would be the perfect opportunity to make this a possibility.

This course will teach and guide you on how to effectively utilize different tools such as “digital brushes,” “palettes,” and “blending options” in Procreate app.
We will help you adjust app settings to optimize your drawing experience.

*Please Note: Students will have to purchase Procreate application ($10 in Apple Store). It is not included in the course package.
