Procreate Portrait Academy
by Freya Kotchakorn
Want to learn how to draw your kids, grandkids, parents, friends, your partner ā¦ or even a celebrity? Click the button below to enroll in my Procreate Portrait Academy course and learn how to draw portraits in your own style as if youāve been doing them forever!
With this carefully laid out approach to mastering portraits, youāll learn to draw anyone and capture exactly how they look like. And Iāll give you my permission to gloat for a while whenever you showcase your work to your āmodelsā!Ā š
The thing with drawing portraits is that you probably wonāt master the technique just by trial and error. Plus, youāll waste a lot of time that you could spend actually drawing amazing portraits.
The quickest way to master portraits is by understanding the tracing and drafting formula. In Procreate Portrait Academy weāll start with the basics of tracing and learn the fundamentals of drafting before moving on to applying both to actual portrait drawing.
Youāll learn to recognize and perfectly capture the personās distinguishing features, while learning how to avoid the most common mistakes of drawing portraits. And the best thing - you'll never be afraid of showing people your portraits again!
āInstead of trying to āsellā you a course by showcasing my work, Iād rather show you what youāll be able to do after 20 hours of in-depth lectures. Take a look at some of the recent paintings from Procreate Portrait Academy students:
"She provides you with a technique to improve your lines and provides you with the material to practice. At the end of your first portrait, you will be amazingly surprised on how nice it is. Believe me, I was surprised when I saw my first portrait and I said, "Oh my God, this works!" So overall, I recommend it, so give it a try."
"Hey allā¦ super proud of thisā¦ I used so many techniques I have learned in classes and boy can I see a difference in what Iām producing!"
It's a very good course. Freya is very patient. She explains everything from beginning to end, and she draws at the same time as you, so you never really feel alone in front of your computer. She commands everything. The video is good quality. The image is good quality, the sound is good quality, and I learned a lot. So, yeah, again, I advise you to take any of Freya's course, I will certainly go on with her course, there are a few I want to take.
"Portrait Class: Mature woman, background with Freya Gouache Stamps brush, nice right?"
"I personally think that Freya's course is very comprehensive, I feel that Freya's course is very easy to follow. I love that there is that therapeutic-ness that comes from drawing line after line, you know? And funny enough, it actually awaken my love for digital art again."
"First portrait - Christine, with one of her dachshunds."
ā
"The course was so easy to follow, with a bunch of hands-on practice beforehand. In every video, Freya explained everything that she did in that drawing so that we understand why she does that."
ā
"Here it is my first portrait ever! I hope you like it! Iāve been working very hard on it."
"First dive into digital Thanks Freya.art for the tips and tricks. The lessons are easy to understand and fun to watch!
"Portrait Course, Lisa"
One of the best ways to gain knowledge is to learn from your mistakes. In my 15 years as a professional digital artist, I have made nearly every mistake in the book. Especially when I first started painting digital portraits.Ā
Now I want to help you speed up the learning process by avoiding said mistakes, while still getting the key takeaways that you would get when encountering your own mistakes. Just much quicker and less stressful!
We will learn how to draw the distinguishing features of a personās face that set people apart from each other and make you recognize a person. Weāll cover male and female portraits ranging from the young generation of girls and boys to the older generations of grandmas and grandpas.
The course is divided into 9 modules, containing a total of 40 lectures AND a bonus module with three bonus lectures. That way we can focus on each part and not rush any of the important lectures as well as take our time to put the knowledge to the test and draw your own portraits.
In my fifteen years of working as a professional illustrator Iāve acquired quite a few portrait drawing tricks that elevated my art and helped me land some of the biggest brands in their industries as my clients.Ā
Through a long process of learning, Iāve taught myself the rights and wrongs of drawing portraits. Iāve found a way that enables me to draw anyone without much hassle. Iāve actually become so proficient at it that Iām now teaching hundreds of other aspiring artists, such as yourself, and speaking at events in Apple stores. And I know exactly what it takes to go from beginner to Pro level artist.Ā ā
Filled with a bunch of āinsiderā knowledge, this course will sky-rocket your portrait skills. It doesnāt matter if youāre a well-established artist or just a beginner wanting to learn how to draw portraits.
A set of decent brushes, watercolors, and some quality paper can set you back $200 or even more. Add a high-detail scanner and a quality computer with software capable of precisely die cutting your āanalogā work ā¦ And before you know it, youāve spent way over $1000 before you even started painting.Ā
ā
And whatās even worse ā¦ brushes get worn-out and watercolors donāt come in endless supplies. So every once in a while, you have to splurge out another couple $100 just to be able to paint again. In Procreate, everything is just a few clicks away.Ā
ā
When I did my paintings and illustrations by hand, I always had to have a dedicated working space large enough to take up half of my room. Since I started using Procreate, all I need is my iPad and an Apple Pencil.Ā
ā
With no painting accessories, no computer, no separate drawing pad and no scanner, you can work anywhere you want to. Time spent commuting on public transport could instead be spent working on your art. Fancy a day at the park? Bring your iPad and squeeze in some painting.
It doesn't matter if youāre a complete beginner or a seasoned illustrator. Weāll start slowly with the basics and move onto more complex principles. Youāll not only learn how to follow the tutorial, but also unlock a whole new way of getting the image you see in your head onto a piece of paper ā¦ or rather your iPadās screen.Ā
To achieve that, we will not only deep-dive into details like which brushes to use and when, youāll also master various portrait techniques, understand the principles of shading and light and get to know the Procreate app.
With over 20 hours of in-depth video content, the Procreate Portrait Academy is on average 7 TIMES longer than most of the other courses. In over 40 lessons, you will:
Each video lecture is equipped with timestamps marking the most important chapters. Missed something? No rewinding, no jumping up and down the timeline - just click on a checkpoint in the lesson you want to revise.
Over the course of my professional career, Iāve realized over and over again that the saying āpractice makes perfectā couldnāt be more true. Imagine learning to swim ā¦ in your living room. Once you hit the water, youād probably drown within minutes.
ā
And since painting of any kind demands certain training of your muscle memory to master the various painting techniques, one thing is more than obvious: more practice equals faster improvement. Thereās also no better way to really grasp the theory and put your new-found knowledge to use than actually drawing.
ā
Thatās why I added 30 extensive follow-along exercises that demand utilizing everything youāve learned so far. And hey, besides the 30 opportunities to hone your skills, you also get a whopping 30 pieces of your own original artwork, which you can showcase in your portfolio before even starting your portrait painting adventure.

Pets are family, and the demand for personalized pet portraits is ever-growing. This course not only adds to your artistic skills but also opens doors to new opportunities.Ā
People rarely hesitate to spend on two things they cherish: their children and their pets. By mastering pet portraits, you can not only earn from your passion, but you also get to bring smiles to peopleās faces.Ā
And let's face it, there's something incredibly fulfilling about earning from something that brings joy to your clients, all while doing something you love!
Plus, think of the fun collaborations with pet shops, vet clinics, or even pet events! Your art could be the star of the show, connecting you with a community of pet lovers who truly value your work.Ā

Getting models that work with Procreate out of the box is quite tricky as the feature is so new. As demonstrated in the video below, the UV mapping of the models you can buy and download on the 3D model libraries online is not configured to be Procreate compatible in most cases. You'll sometimes encounter difficulties such as incomplete color fills, messy lines etc. while using any of the Procreate painting tools.
ā
5 Models are included in the course, and on the checkout you have an option to add 25 Fashion & Clothing 3D models for free to your order. These models are specially optimized for seamless use in Procreate, so you'll be able to paint models that will look as realistic as possible. Commercial license is included, so you can use the model freely in any commercial projects, too. See model previews below.
