Mussu

This is Mussu from the Museum by Sktchy app. I drew her in a Sketchbook Skool Spark Drawing Faces class. The drawing didn’t work out – I ended up with large “watermarks” from the alcohol markers on her forehead and cheeks so I decided to use the drawing in a subsequent class on touching up drawings on the iPad.

So this is the portrait after those watermarks have been touched up a little on the iPad. I’ve also cleaned up other parts of the portrait digitally and added some highlights with a digital pencil brush. Loving how I was able to turn a disaster into a used learning opportunity 😊

Ellie

I drew Ellie on my iPad Pro using the Procreate app and True Grit Texture Supply Chromograph brushes.

Jaan/Princess Leia

May the Fourth be with you! Happy Star Wars day. I spend the whole year looking forward to my Star Wars day portrait 😂 This year I had to celebrate the fact that Carrie Fisher is getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today.

So I drew Jaan from Sktchy in Princess Leia cosplay. She has a whole series of photos in this costume and I’ve drawn another one before but I loved drawing her again, this time on my iPad Pro (I drew the last one with Copic markers).

Rines

I was playing around with some watercolour brushes in Procreate on my iPad for this portrait of Rines from Sktchy.

Anais

Sometimes it’s good to keep it simple.

Korka

I love holiday weekends because I get so much more time to just play around with drawing and experiment. Over last Easter weekend I had fun with a Chromograph stippling brush on my iPad Pro and tweaked a line stippling brush I already had so that I could use that with it, and drew this portrait of Korka from the Museum by Sktchy app. Obviously influenced by Van Gogh and Seurat but I was also very much just playing around and having fun and seeing where that took me.

Stacey

We worked on creating simple poster style portraits on our iPads using 4 colour palettes in this week’s Spark class. I drew this portrait of Stacey from Sktchy during the class. After class I played around with the gradient map in Procreate to create the alternative versions below.

Svet

This is a portrait of Svet from the Museum by Sktchy app. It’s been a while since I’ve done a portrait like this on my iPad. I did a whole series a few years ago and I’m revisiting the style for a class I’m teaching later this week.

I drew the blue and yellow version in the top left corner and then created the other colour versions by playing with the colour curves in Procreate.

Alina

I haven’t used my Chromagraph pencil brushes in Procreate for a while and it was definitely fun to play with them again for this portrait of Alina from Museum by Sktchy.

Annett

I’ve been teaching some iPad drawing in my Sketchbook Skool Spark class for the past few weeks and this is the portrait that I was working on in Procreate in those classes.

We started by learning how to adjust brushes and work with layers and clipping masks before moving on to drawing our portrait of Annett. It’s been a lot of fun and I’m amazed at how much progress the students have made!
