Beginner-Friendly Portrait Sketch✨ Draw with Me in Paris!

In this video I take you along for a loose portrait sketch that I created in a cozy café in Paris ☕ (feel free to put on your favourite cafe music while watching it!) And this sketch is actually the study for my Mariposa painting (which I also turned into a full tutorial here: [Available for Members] 🦋!

This Lesson is beginner-friendly, relaxed, and all about keeping things fun and loose without worrying too much about perfection. I’ll show you how I build the sketch step by step – from light pencil marks to shading, blending, and different linework techniques to make your sketch look painterly and pretty!

If you’ve ever wanted to try a more playful, less intimidating way of sketching portraits, this one’s for you. Grab a pencil (and maybe a slice of cake 🍰) and draw along with me! 🥰

(There is no full scan of the Drawing because I lost it in the Louvre – can you believe it! 😅🙈 Perhaps I made someone happy with my sketch!)
