What You’ll Do: * Study Luke Dixon’s style and how to create high-impact, layered portraits * Use a reference photo (provided or bring your own) to map out facial features * Work with fine liners and ink to build texture and line * Add colour accents to bring energy and contrast to your piece * Finish with a striking, modern portrait illustration to take home End of Day Sharing: Show off your final piece in a relaxed group share and reflect on everything you’ve learned.
