Supplies

All you need is an IPAD and an Apple Pencil to draw. Oh! And don't forget, you need a reference picture.

Step 1: Open Procreate and Insert Your Reference Picture

I would recommend you to edit your reference photo through any editing app into neon. This will help you identify the darkness and lightness in the image more easily.

Step 2: Basic Outline

Create a second layer and using monoline brush create an outline for the image.

NOTE: IN THIS ENTIRE INSTRUCTABLE WE ONLY NEED TO USE MONOLINE BRUSH

Step 3: Color

Color the spots with the different shades of your selected palette. I have used shades of grey to create my self portrait but you can use any.

Give a background color to you portrait. It is important that you do this. Because without it the portrait will not pop and look nice.
