Hint: talent has little to do with drawing. How come?!
I've done a research: having a talent isn’t the only thing you need to draw well (yes, even faces).
Many even agree that it takes 80% of practice/skill and only 20% of talent.
So, what's been stopping you?
You CAN learn how to do it. Remember 80/20% ratio? What could you do with this 80% even if you feel you missed the talent train?

Imagine...
My skills were basic. I haven't been drawing in a really long time, and even then I was only good in repeating something simple someone else has already drawn I didn't experiment much.
I liked the tempo of the lessons and the structure in learning proportions and parts of the face. That was the first time someone showed me how to draw. I was surprised at how good I am when following instructions and how good I've gotten in drawing whimsical faces on my own.
The thing I liked the most is how Ivana encouraged us to experiment and brake the rules, to make the faces our own, especially when painting the hair. The course was wonderful, exhilarating and highly addictive because now I can not stop painting.

This is how Barbara transformed her whimsical drawings on the first try. She says:
OMG Ivana, this really looks like a face, an actual face! I'm shocked!
- Barbara Tursan Misic -
Her first face is also cute, but she wanted to improve, and she nailed it.
And this is how Lori finally drew eyes she's in love with! She followed the Easy Whimsy Method for drawing whimsy eyes and she's done an amazing job.
'I'm just starting to feel comfortable drawing and painting - I love your style - if fits perfectly with my personality. Your girls make me smile - thank you.
You covered some things that I already knew which was good and you added a few bits that I had no idea about e.g.) eyebrow and lip proportions - I absolutely love the glazing technique! Loved this class! '

Andrea K. has been playing with drawing and painting whimsical faces and her ladies look awesome.
She didn't give up, followed the lessons and well...now she can draw on her own.
You can do this, too!
Why on earth would you listen to me?
I've always wanted to draw, but only later in life, I started drawing faces. They looked…well…not as I wanted them to be. So, I was freakin’ scared to draw but I persisted and it’s paid off. Big time.
Today, I can draw whimsical faces, I know what works and what doesn’t and I’ve developed a simple method for drawing faces that anyone can be good at.
But it’s also important that I love teaching what I know. It brings me enormous joy when I see my students improve their skills with my help.
Moreover, teaching is my profession, it’s in my blood. I’ve taught kids, teenagers, and adults and I’m familiar with the quirks of teaching. My style is simple, always focused on beginners, and structured in step-by-step systems.
Although I always motivate my students, I’m not afraid of giving you positive criticism. After all, your success is my success, too.
For more inspo...
I'm sharing one of my first faces when I used a ruler to draw, knew nothing about proportions, or shading. I love her, tough. But I wanted to improve...
So, here's also the most recent whimsical face I've created. I've figured out what works for beginners, and I'm proudly sharing that in this course. My goal is to make everything easy and non-overwhelming.

still have questions?
As I already said, talent has nothing to do with this. Most artists of this world say that developing their skill by practice was more beneficial than having a talent.
I was a beginner once. I grew up thinking I couldn't draw. But with practice, I developed the skill.
Here's a quote I found recently: The difference between people with a talent for drawing vs. people without a remarkable talent is that talented people will learn how to do it faster.
So, forget about having a talent. Even those with inborn talent have to practice and learn.
What you need is patience and practice, and you'll get there.
I've seen people with little talent get really good at drawing faces (myself included).
Don't give up on yourself. I won't :)
Look, we all use similar or same techniques when drawing faces. There are establisheed techniques all of artists use and they work. I'm not saying I invented something completely new, because that's impossible.
However, I've figured out what works for beginners so that they can draw faces in the easiest way possible and still make them pretty.
That's why I want to teach you how to do this by using lines and shapes so that you have a simple system to rely on every time you create.
Also, I don't want you to be discouraged if your first attempt isn't perfect (what's perfect anyway?). The Easy Whimsy method will give you strong grounds to actually start with something tangible and develop as you practice.
Yes, faces are hard to draw. But drawing whimsical faces is way easier because they give you the opportunity to develop your skills while having more creativity and imagination (and space for imperfection, which is just an amazing thing, especially to beginners).
Honestly, I can't draw everything, not even flowers. They always look like child's drawings, but how can we be good at drawing everything?
So, even if you feel you're useless at drawing in general, or have no talent, you can develop a skill for drawing whimsical faces. I'm a living proof of that.
I firmly believe in this because I've seen it, I've experienced it.
This course is for you if:
The course is perfect for you if you're a beginner who desperately wants to make their art more magical by making whimsical faces, but you need a simpe approach that won't overwhelm you and will actually give you results faster than before.

Since this is a course for beginners, you won’t need many art supplies to finish the course, so you’d need:
If you only have a pen, eraser and watercolors plus a brush, you're good to go. You can always paint the details with colored pencils or markers.
But my best advice is to have watercolor paper or heavier mixed media paper because we'll work with watercolors.

What my other students say
While I have good basic drawing skills, I struggle with believing I can and ccoosing things to draw. With faces it always felt like a struggle.
I felt the course realy made it all come together and made it flow. My aha moment was the shading guide. I loved this course and my faces that came from it. Other whimsical type face lessons before never made me feel like I could do it on my own. Thank You!
