In this month’s live tutorial, we’re blending pop culture, portraiture, and thoughtful design to create bold and expressive playing card illustrations.
You’ll learn how to draw a stylized portrait in 3/4 view and use Procreate’s symmetry tools to build a mirrored playing card design featuring your chosen icon. I’ll be demonstrating with a portrait of my personal art hero, Frida Kahlo, but you can illustrate anyone who inspires you: a celebrity, character, loved one, or even yourself!
In this members-only live tutorial, you’ll learn how to:
Draw a stylized 3/4 view portrait
Use Procreate’s symmetry tools to create a mirrored card layout
Add bold, expressive design elements to make your card iconic
Apply your finished design to a realistic card mockup (included!)
You’ll get a custom Procreate mockup to see your illustrated card in a real-world setting—like it’s part of an actual deck! It’s included with the tutorial, along with the Procreate brushes you'll need to follow along.
