Step Into The World Of Expressive Pencil Portraits
Learn to capture not just a likeness, but the story and soul behind every face.
Hey, I’m Masha! ✨
I'm a Rotterdam-based illustrator with an academic drawing background and a design degree, known for soft, semi-realistic graphite portraits that feel quiet, emotive, and a bit dreamy. I wan to teach you a simple, non-boring way to make faces feel alive—clear shapes, gentle shading, and lost-and-found edges—while encouraging you to bring your own voice to the page. My course, Expressive Pencil Portraits: From Reference to Character, is a beginner-friendly, step-by-step program that takes students from ethical reference selection to a finished, shareable stylized portrait. Students learn a friendly head build (front & ¾), simplified features (eyes, nose, mouth, hair), and clean values with soft edges—guided by a warm, mentor tone
