Art isn’t just Technique, it’s Connection.
When I first started drawing portraits, I didn’t have formal art training or fancy tools. I just had a pencil, paper, and a fascination with faces, with the stories hidden in every expression and gaze.
Maybe you’ve felt that too. You look at people and imagine how you’d capture their features, their light, their essence, but turning that vision into a finished portrait feels uncertain or out of reach. You want your drawings to feel alive, but you’re not sure where to begin or how to bridge the gap between traditional and digital art.
Here’s the truth: portrait drawing isn’t about innate talent. It’s about observation, patience, and learning simple, creative steps that make the process both accessible and deeply rewarding.
In Drawing Portraits: From Paper to Pixel, I’ll guide you through every stage of creating expressive portraits, from your first graphite sketches to refined digital artwork. You’ll learn how to draw realistic proportions, shade with confidence, and then bring your portrait into the digital space to enhance it with light, tone, and subtle color.
You don’t need years of experience, just curiosity, a pencil, and a desire to capture what makes every face unique.
Hi, I'm Shaima
I am a portrait artist who blends the timeless beauty of graphite with the vibrant possibilities of digital illustration. My journey started with a pencil and a love for faces, and over time, I’ve merged traditional techniques with tools like Procreate to push my art into new dimensions.
I believe in patience, playful experimentation, and turning “mistakes” into discoveries. Through my work, I hope to inspire fellow creators to explore both pencil and pixel, and to find confidence in every sketch, draft, and final piece.
Join me in exploring what happens when old-school meets new-school, and watch your portraits evolve in ways you never imagined.
