Sometimes one small lesson is exactly what you need.
The Learning Library contains focused, bite-sized teaching you can use when you need help developing a particular aspect of your portrait work. Choose the lesson that fits the drawing in front of you, learn at your own pace, then put it into practice in your next upload and watch your mark out of 100 respond.
01
Proportions & features
Develop placement, observation, eyes and individual facial features.
02

Use light and shade to create depth and stronger three-dimensional form.
03

Mentor visual • optional
See the teaching, drawn out.
We want you to learn how to create more life-like, realism in your spirit portraits.
Sometimes a written explanation is useful, but seeing the guidance in action can make it even clearer. Here's a simple example of how a mentor might show you the difference.
Mentor Visual is an optional artistic teaching interpretation: it shows how some of the structural guidance in your Mentor Report could be applied, while keeping the character, mood and style of the portrait you drew.
This isn't about replacing your drawing with someone else's version. The Mentor Visual simply lets you see the teaching in action, so you can absorb the idea and keep developing it in your own hand.
