Professional Portrait Sketching Course
The first recorded use of charcoals as an artistic medium was in cave paintings around 28,000 years ago. With time, charcoal has established itself as a widely sought-after medium.
Charcoal is a versatile medium, one that is worth mastering even though it takes time, patience and practice. Our professional portrait sketching courses will help you see that putting in the time and work for this medium is worth it.
Non-Certified Courses
At Pencil & Chai, we provide two professional portrait sketching courses which consist of two modules and are designed for people who have already tried their hand at charcoal portraiture.
The first module covers the foundations of sketching, and it happens over 1 month. The second module covers more detailed areas of portraiture. The second module is covered over two months. This course will be completed in 3 months.
The other one is a 4-month course which delves deeper into fundamentals, head studies and feature studies. This is meant for people who want to further hone their skills in the field.

Why Professional Portrait Sketching Courses?
Why do you need to choose it?
The charcoal medium is prized for its ability to produce an interplay between light and shadow, known as chiaroscuro. Charcoal, even though a versatile medium, can also be a tricky one to work with. Our professional portrait sketching courses will help you learn the specifics and will enable you to work with the tricky aspects.

What you will be learning?
Since this is an intermediate-level course, the basics will not be looked at in extreme depth.
48 hours worth of lessons is not substantial in making you an expert in charcoal sketching. We can only set you on the track towards mastery with our professional portrait sketching courses, but to achieve it you’ll have to vow to keep at your practice.
