“50 Common Mistakes in Portrait Drawing...” – educational e-book

I created this illustrated e-book after a few years of working with beginner and intermediate artists. I kept seeing the same portrait mistakes repeated again and again, so I decided to turn those moments into a learning opportunity.

The E-Book is available here: https://gabrielaniko.gumroad.com/l/llqwp?layout=profile

This guide breaks down 50 of the most common mistakes in portrait drawing, using friendly explanations, visual examples, and clear tips on how to fix each one. I wanted it to feel like a sketchbook-meets-tutor: practical, personal, and a bit fun, too.

It’s full of my own drawings and includes creative worksheets to help artists apply what they’ve learned.

I made this e-book to support people who love drawing but sometimes feel stuck or discouraged. I hope it brings clarity, motivation, and more joy to the learning process.
