In this class I will show you a simple technique to achieve realistic portraits with alcohol markers. 

This technique is surprisingly simple, all you need is the right colors in alcohol markers.

I'll discuss about the markers you need, and they are not as expensive as you think.

Then we will make some tries to find the good paper, I'm sure you have already some at home!

Let's make some mixes and gradients to know how it works and master the markers.

I'll discuss about how to choose the colors for your portrait, and provide the references of all the markers I used during the class, if you want to follow along exactly.

I provide a copyright free reference image to follow along, and you're welcome to use your personal photo as well.

As it's a class about markers and not about drawing, we will be tracing the image for a faster result. And no, tracing is not cheating! It's just using modern tools.

I'll detail step by step, in real time, all it takes to achieve the portrait by coloring the face, hair, eyes, mouth, hand.

Then it's time to select the colors of the sweater and background and apply them.
