I got back from Nicosia a couple of days ago and I still can’t stop thinking about it. What an awesome experience this was! I met interesting artists, got to make new friends and gave two packed digital portrait workshops.

photographers: Lefteris Kokkinakis, Miltos Karras
On the first day, we talked about colour, light and the emotional use of colour palettes. So I painted a colour portrait step-by-step and so did the 9 talented participants. Next day, I shared the fundamentals on black & white portrait, shared tips about tones and we all drew a b&w portrait. I have to say I was amazed that in just one weekend, all the guys participating came up with such nice work.
Below, you can see the portraits I drew during the workshop.
Thank you guys for participating. Thank you Aggeliki and Miltos, Valentine, Rafael and Afroditi for making a fantastic Graphic Stories Cyprus happen.
Hope to see you all soon.
