In this video, I’m sharing my cozy, step-by-step way of drawing stylized portraits—like the ones I usually do in my art diaries and sketchbooks. I show you how I simplify the face, push the features in a cute/stylized way, and keep everything looking soft and intentional (instead of “off” or accidental). It’s very much a chill draw-with-me vibe, so you can follow along and pause wherever you need. I also talk about what helps me stay consistent with improving portraits: using good reference photos (I keep mine saved on my Pinterest), doing face studies often, and letting yourself repeat the same subject until it starts feeling natural. I’m using supplies I personally like (including the pencils I linked), and I share extra resources too—like illustration courses I recommend and my full supplies list—so you can build your own little setup. If you’ve been wanting to get into stylized faces but didn’t know where to start, this is meant to feel simple, cozy, and doable.
