If you read my last post you will have seen I’ve spent the start of 2025 drawing lots of heads in Procreate in preparation for some digital painting, something I’ve been hoping to improve for a long time. Not only that, I wanted to replicate my style of watercolour and pencil portraiture so I’ve been experimenting with a lot of brush packs from the likes of Lisa Glanz, Adilson Farias, Max Ulichney and Lisa Bardot.

Below are images at various stages of the portrait, I approached the painting the same way I would if I was working traditionally. Starting with a watercolour wash over the pencil drawing before later adding the details. Overall I’m quite pleased with the results and I’m planning on finishing a few of the other sketches I recently created.
