Can you draw a face using only dots?
On Day 20 of 20 Days of Procreate Play, we’re wrapping up the challenge with a playful portrait exercise from Vinitha Mammen’s class On The Dot.
In this lesson, you’ll:
✔ Use Procreate’s symmetry tool to divide your canvas
✔ Build expressive hairstyles using dot brushes
✔ Create simple face shapes with the monoline brush
✔ Add minimal features for maximum personality
✔ Layer color and opacity for depth and softness
This is a beginner-friendly character design exercise that proves you don’t need complex rendering to create charming portraits. By starting with stylized dot hairstyles, you unlock surprising and whimsical results.
