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.
