Inside this course, you'll learn how to simplify facial structure, understand proportions, create realistic skin tones, capture likeness, draw expressive pet and human portraits, and approach creative opportunities such as commissions and live portrait drawing. Most importantly, you'll learn how to see people differentlyā€”and translate that understanding into meaningful artwork.
What makes Michael's approach different is that he doesn't teach portraiture as a set of rigid rules to memorise. Instead, he breaks complex concepts into simple, practical systems that help you understand what you're seeing and why it works. By combining strong artistic foundations with modern tools and a confidence-building teaching style, you'll spend less time feeling intimidated and more time creating artwork you're genuinely proud of.
