Intermediate Level
We invite you to participate in a dynamic, four-session course focused on mastering the techniques of drawing and shading semi-realistic character faces using the Procreate app. Throughout the course, we will explore the process from sketching facial features to applying color and shading, with each week dedicated to a different aspect of the character creation process. While the instruction will follow a step-by-step tutorial format, students are encouraged to adapt their art style as they see fit, allowing for personal creativity. Students will have the opportunity to interact with the instructor for guidance and discussion, and open conversations about digital painting techniques are welcome.
Learning Goals
Students will enhance their drawing abilities and learn to paint and shade semi-realistic portraits using digital painting techniques.

Parental Guidance
The student will use an iPad and Apple Pencil to complete the artwork, and I highly recommend using a second device, such as a laptop or desktop, to stream the class. Additionally, I suggest students log into Outschool on their iPad so they can easily upload their completed work directly from the iPad at the end of the class.
Pre-Requisites
If the student is entirely new to the Procreate app, I recommend they take my Procreate beginner's class before enrolling in this course.
Supply List
- An Ipad + Apple pencil - The Procreate app
Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Anna and I’m the founder of Oh, Artiz. I’m an art instructor by day and an illustrator by night.
My journey has been a long, but gratifying one. I created Prism Art School back in 2016 with the hopes of fostering a creative community for young artists in Los Angeles. Prism Art School won a variety of different regional, national, and even international art competitions! Some of the accolades and outlets to recognize Prism Art School include: Doodle for Google, International Ocean Awareness, Scholastic Arts, NASA, Toyota, LA Times & DWP, and many other art contests.
However, due to the unfortunate COVID-19 pandemic, we had no choice but to close down our physical locations as per California law.
However, when life gives me lemons, I try to “create” a fun batch of lemonade! Since then, I have been teaching art using ‘Outschool’ which is a digital platform and virtual learning online school based in San Francisco.
It has been such a gratifying experience for me to have personally [albeit virtually] met so many of the very talented, young, artists from all over North America. Some have even been from parts of Europe and Asia! I’ve learned that with a dedicated instructor, virtual learning is not only just possible, but it has the capacity to deliver quality effectiveness in learning -- just as much or better than in person education.
This realization sparked my passion for restoring the progress of the community of Prism Art School. This time, virtually and with a brand-new name: “Oh, Artiz!”
So, please, join our exciting community! Let’s create together!
