About this class
Learn how to create a colorful portrait using the chisel tip of an alcohol marker.
In this class, Maya experiments with broad edges, angled strokes, and layered color to gradually build the face, hair, clothing, and background. You’ll see how the chisel tip can be used for much more than filling large areas, including creating sharp planes, directional texture, and confident highlights.
The goal is to get comfortable using a familiar tool in a different way and discover how changing your mark making can completely change the style of a portrait.
