My Complete, Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Magical Portraits on the iPad!

Watch this video to see what’s inside 👇

You're a creative soul, and want to learn to draw beautiful portraits!

Just one problem...

No matter how hard you try, you just don’t seem to be able to get the ideas in your head down onto your canvas!

Let Me Guess...

You’re sick of putting in countless hours, watching tutorials, and practicing as hard as you can… and yet still making barely any progress 🥵

What If Instead,
You Had...

Take a second to imagine life like this...

It’s Monday morning, and you wake up, startled by a “DING” on your phone.

You know that you shouldn’t be starting your day on Insta, but you don’t care. You’re just too. Damn. Exciiiited! Last night you posted your latest portrait, and you know what’s coming..

With your eyes still half glued shut, you check your Notifications. For several months now, each of your portraits has been getting more and more engagement – and your heart starts to race as you scroll through the sea of love. Artists that you used to idolize and look up to are now commenting on your posts 🥰

You brew a cup of coffee and start getting back to your beloved fans. You’ve barely started typing, when… DING

Another notification comes through. This time it’s a client. They’ve just signed your contract and paid your invoice up-front (one of the many perks of being an “in demand” artist)

It's time to get to work!

Like a mad scientist, you nearly spill your coffee as you reach for your iPad.

Your mind is racing with ideas, and unlike your Old Self, your New Self knows exactly how you’re going to pull them off!

Effortlessly, your hands glide over the canvas. You know exactly which brushes to reach for, and every line you draw looks perfect. You pull up a few reference photos, but gone are the days of copying them! Your anatomy is on point, and you quickly pick the perfect colours and skin-tones.

No longer stifled by your lack of skills or confidence, you feel like your creativity has finally been fully unlocked!

Back in the day, you would have been amazed by the portrait materializing before your eyes. But now you barely even break a sweat, because you’ve done this so many times now.

Humming along to your favourite song, you smile to yourself as you add the final details and textures, taking your portrait from “pretty good” to “freakin’ incredible”.

Sound like a dream?

Well then you’re in the right place lovely, because I'm here to make this dream your reality! 🥰

I'M HERE TO HELP YOU!

My name is Charly, and I’d love to help you make that breakthrough with your portraits!

I’ve built a six-figure illustration business licensing out my art to amazing clients all around the world, and helped tens of thousands of students through my classes.. and now, I’d love to help you have your very own artistic breakthrough!

It took me years of trial and error to get to where I’m at now, but I just know that with the right system, you can do it sooo much faster. So I spent several months recording everything I know about drawing dreamy portraits, and carefully crafted it into an easy roadmap for you to follow.

MY CLASSES HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY

108,000+ Happy Students (And Counting!)

Here’s a few of the kind words students have said about Out of This World Portraits 👇

Charly's "Out of this world portraits" class was really a great experience. The classes were approachable and easy to follow. She dives deeper into the process, from sketching different noses, to playing with colour palettes. I have been illustrating for several years, but noticed that I was never 100% satisfied with my portraits and there was always something missing for my feeling. Through this course, I know what colours to use, how to apply textures and use effects to really take my portraits to the next level. This was exactly what I needed and more! Thank you Charly

Bo Roede

I’ve always loved Charly’s courses, in fact I’ve taken every single course she’s ever done and they never disappoint! I can honestly say Charly has been one of my biggest inspirations in my illustration journey and thanks to her amazing classes I’ve been able to improve so much. This portraits class was excellent. Charly has taken all of her best tips and created a fabulous course with so many great tricks in it! You will be so proud of yourself when you fished the course and look back at what you’ve achieved thanks to Charly’s practice sheets and tips she provides. Such an enjoyable course!

I loved all the practice sheets you provided throughout the course. It was so helpful as I could easily follow along. Plus it makes the stack in Procreate looks super cool. Thanks so much

Chescka

Charly, your class really helped me get so much better at anatomy and proportion, and I adored the color lessons too! I feel so much more confident drawing people now that I know the basic rules 🙂

The class was amazing, so helpful and really fun! I feel so much more empowered and confident drawing people now 🙂 Thank you Charly!

Carrie Cantwell

I agonized before signing up for the class because I am new to Procreate, and the art I'm doing on it is purely for my own pleasure. But I finally decided to take the class and I'm so glad I did. It was really good. I've never felt very confident drawing faces without literally drawing directly from a reference. In this class we learned how to draw a face from different angles, how to create a great palette, how to make a simple portrait more interesting, and so much more. This class has really elevated my skills. And Charly is extremely attentive to her students, encouraging us all the way. If you are on the fence, I urge you to take the class. You will be blown away by how good your own first project is. I promise. 🙂

Amy Chin

Hi Charly, as I shared it with you over the last few days, I'm a huge fan of everything you've put into your videos! You talked in your newsletter about how we can give a fun way to learn things that might seem hard to understand at the beginning and you totally kept your promise! 🙏

I can't really tell you which part I liked better than another because honestly they are all very interesting, fun, your basic documents to make us work are perfect to understand the creation and drawing/colouring process 🌟

And not to mention the content of the videos, we are lucky because you have such a nice voice, it gives a very sweet touch to the course 🌞

I am so happy and grateful that I was able to buy your course... and I will definitely do it again!! you have become my illustration mum now! 😘😇

Clara Bergoënd

Everything you need to know about drawing portraits is in this course and every little step is presented in such a fun way. I normally struggle with learning new stuff, but with this you could actually see results right away or at least very quickly and that made for a great learning experience. Absolutely recommend.

The anatomy part was my favorite, I actually had so much fun with it even though drawing in a realistic way isn't something that I always enjoy but it was taught in such a fun way.

Still Have Questions?
I've Got Answers!

Woop, I love your attitude!

You’ll be thrilled to hear: Out of This World Portraits is an On-Demand class, meaning you get access to every lesson the second you sign up! No waiting around or having to show up for live sessions – you can dive right in.

Enroll now and you could be publishing your best-ever portrait later today!

To get the most out of this class, I’d highly recommend you follow along on an iPad, using the Procreate app (the two tools I most recommend for illustration!)

However, if you have another drawing software that you prefer and understand well, you’re absolutely welcome to follow along using that! Though I have a number of juicy Procreate tips for you, the class is mainly about the fundamental skills of drawing, picking colours, and portraiture, rather than specific software features.

This is a class on digital illustration – and while the principles I teach will apply to any medium, you will struggle to follow along with the exercises if you aren’t working digitally.

How does lifetime access sound? 🥳

After purchasing you’ll get full lifetime access to both the class and bonus material, so you can go through everything in your own time, and keep coming back to refine your skills again and again!

Not only do you get lifetime access to the existing material, you’ll also get free lifetime access to all future updates to this course!

Digital illustration is constantly changing, and so I’ll be updating the class with my latest tips, best practices, and recommendations from time to time.

This will be especially useful for beginner – intermediate artists, but advanced artists will also find some juicy tricks & exercises to help hone their skills.

Though I cover a lot of Procreate tools, settings, and tricks throughout the class, I do recommend that you have a very basic understanding of Procreate to get the most out of this. If you have any Procreate questions you can always ask me in the comments and I’ll help you out 🥰

While Skillshare is great for quick wins and small projects, this is a full-on Masterclass for people who want to get really serious about their illustration.

Just like on Skillshare, the lessons are value-packed and full of fun exercises, but this goes much more in-depth, with over 4.5 hours of video training, split up over four modules. Because of this, I’m also able to cover much more advanced techniques that will help you draw from imagination and really push your style as an artist!

Absolutely! In fact, if you’re a total beginner you’re in luck, because this class will allow you to learn best practices from day 1, so you don’t have to spend years unlearning bad habits (like I did 🥲)

I’ve put a LOT of work into making sure this will be a hit for everyone, so I really think you’re going to love it 😘

Still, I believe in ethical business and I would never want to take your money if you aren’t 100% happy with what you get. That’s why I’ve got you covered with my risk-free money-back guarantee. If you’ve gone through the course but feel you didn’t get your moneys worth, just shoot me an email within 30 days of purchase and I’ll be happy to give you a full refund! I truly believe that if you do the work and put in the effort, this course will give you phenomenal value, just like it has for hundreds of other students. All I ask is that you send proof that you finished the course material, and completed all the exercises 🙂 So give it your all, and if you’re still not satisfied, I’ll be here to help 💕

Most likely – yes! As long as you like to draw people, you should find tons of great value in this class. In fact, I’ve designed many of the exercises in this class to help you refine your style.

If you’re unsure, you can always reach out to me directly with a link to your portfolio, and I’ll give you my honest assessment of whether I think it’d be helpful for you or not 🙂

Holla at me at [email protected] and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can!
