Turn Admiration into Creation
I used to spend days on one portrait. Then it was 20 hours. Then 10, then 4, now just minutes. I got there by learning from others, drawing constantly, and slowly trading raw technique for real judgment. I want to show you exactly how.
The kind of sketches you've always loved aren't out of reach. You just haven't been shown the process yet. Once you are, it stops feeling like magic.
Let's get into it. ✏️

Hi, I'm Jeff
I'm the guy behind @PlayingWithPencil. A few years ago, on a flight to Tokyo, I sketched a flight attendant just to make her day a little brighter. That small moment ended up going viral, reaching millions of people, and it taught me something I still think about: little gestures really do matter.
Since then I've been sketching strangers wherever I end up. Cafés, the MRT, random street corners. Just trying to capture people's expressions and personalities. Every sketch turns into its own little story, its own little moment of connection with someone.
Now I want to hand you the same techniques, tips, and mindset that let me sketch confidently anywhere, so you can start creating portraits that feel expressive, personal, and alive too.
BY THE END, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO
Build Faces from Scratch, no Guessing
Construct heads and place features where they actually belong.
Nail the Details
Draw eyes, nose, mouth, and hair so they look right and actually work together as a face.
Use Light & Shadow to Bring Depth
Shade your portraits so they feel three dimensional and real, not flat.

Here Is What They Say:
“What I love most is how simple Jeff makes everything feel. Instead of getting overwhelmed by every little detail, I’ve learned how to focus on the shapes, features, and expressions that actually make someone recognizable. I’m sketching much more freely now and actually enjoying portraits instead of constantly second-guessing myself.”
COURSE STUDENT 1
"I used to struggle so much with getting the proportions right. My portraits would always look a little ‘off,’ even when I couldn’t figure out why. This course helped me understand what to actually look for when sketching a face. Now I feel much more confident starting a portrait, and my drawings finally look like the person I’m trying to capture.”
COURSE STUDENT 2
“I honestly thought being able to sketch a recognizable portrait quickly was something that came from years of talent and practice. Seeing Jeff break down his process step by step completely changed that for me. I’m still practicing, but I can already see a huge difference in my proportions, shading, and confidence with every portrait I draw.”
