Hello! I am Songbly. I’ve received so much praise for my colored pencil portraits—many fans have reached out to let me know how much they love my work BUT I was sad and shocked to hear that people consider drawing the human face incredibly difficult!!!
So I’ve put together this comprehensive (and FUN!) online art class so YOU can learn how to depict the human face in gorgeous portraits using colored pencil.
It's true that depicting the real world and capturing emotions and beauty can be challenging… especially if you’re trying to create realistic art.
With this class, we’ll start with simple sketches and focus on the colors, eyes, and emotion of the person you’re drawing. It's not going to be difficult. In fact, you’ll discover a new joy in capturing the true soul of the person you’re depicting in your portrait!
