Portrait Drawing in Mixed Media

In this relaxing 3 hour workshop you will learn how to create a realistic portrait from a photo using Copic Markers and Colour Pencils.

What you will learn?

Using a sample photograph of a male head (photo provided), I'll show you how to outline your drawing to capture proportions quickly and easily.

Then we'll colour your artwork using a selected range of Copic Markers for the project. I'll teach you how to blend your pigments for the best results.

Then for the final details I'll show you how to apply colour pencils. Bringing to life all the details in your drawings.

What are Copics?

Copic Markers are widely used by designers, artists and illustrators because of their versatility and huge colour range. But sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming with all the choices in colours available and understanding how to use them properly to get the best results.

My Experience.

In my many years as a professional illustrator and using Copics I've perfected and simplified techniques that I would love to share with you.

In this workshop I will show you how using simple illustration techniques, you too can create realistic skin tones, blend colours, add shadows and create hair.

Whether you are new to Copic Markers or looking to further your skills, you will learn many of the techniques I have learnt and used for my own projects.

Who is this for?

Great for Beginners and those interested in illustration, portraits, character design or just enjoy drawing for fun and would like to improve their existing skills.

Come and join us for a relaxing afternoon, learning some new art skills while you let your mind enjoy the feeling of creativity.

I look forward to seeing you at the next workshop!
