Hi, I’m Illustrator Seal. I specialize in semi-realistic portraits, focusing on the face and bringing out the character’s personality, facial expressions, and vibe through a distinct art style. Although I didn’t major in art, I discovered the power of the iPad and Procreate and realized their potential to create beautiful portraits. Today, I give various lectures, and I also work on exhibitions and commissions. In this class, I’ll cover how to create an effective composition sketch for a semi-realistic art style, half-line coloring, and the process of both copying and creating. Join me as I share everything I’ve learned about completing illustrations efficiently with minimal retouching, how to self-study illustration, and how I transitioned into freelancing. Your journey to easier, more enjoyable drawing starts here. Let’s get started!
Student Reviews
Class Recommended By Seal's Students
Student A
Whenever I colored my sketches, the skin always looked terrible and awkward against my lines, so I gave up on coloring altogether. But I’ve always wanted to finish a semi-realistic portrait with beautiful colors, just like Seal’s. This class gave me the confidence to complete all my illustrations with color. Now, I have a great time drawing! I’m truly grateful for all the help and the self-esteem boost this class has given me.
-
Student B
Before taking this class, I had no idea how to color my illustrations. Thanks to the step-by-step instructions, I can color on my own now! I used to just color the skin with a light pink foundation and add random colors, but now I know to add pink where light and shadow meet, or more yellow on the light source. I’ve never learned anything like this before. All the tips and tricks really helped me improve my skills. I never thought I’d be able to draw like Seal, but now I think I’m getting close to her level!
-
Student C
This class helped me recognize and fix my bad coloring habits. I also love the half-line style, and now I can draw much faster and more easily. I’m so happy I’ve improved! I enjoyed the class so much that I binge-watched it. After finishing, I was sad that there weren’t any more lectures left!
-
Student D
I’ve taken drawing lessons before and watched a lot of YouTube videos, too. But Seal teaches things that can be immediately applied to actual drawings. I still have a long way to go, but I’m confident I’ll be able to draw as well as Seal says I will!
-
Student E
When I was self-studying, I’d struggle whenever I got stuck on something, but after taking Seal’s class, even my obstacles have become smooth sailing! learned so much, and it was a ton of fun!

Interview with
Illustrator, Seal
Question.01
What do you consider your strengths when you work?
I don’t spend much time drawing, so I studied how to shorten the coloring process. Now, I always enjoy drawing. Thanks to the shortcuts I use to minimize unnecessary steps in my coloring methods while still maintaining quality, my motivation to draw has increased. My hope is that you’ll feel the same motivation when you take this class.
Question.02
How are your unique strengths incorporated into the curriculum of this class?
I structured this class so that when you create your compositions, you’re only drawing the lines that are absolutely necessary. Your sketches will be simple yet effective enough to capture your character’s charm. I provide tips to minimize the steps involved in coloring while improving the overall quality of your work, even before the final retouching. I designed this curriculum to help you draw efficiently and build a strong foundation. We’ll start step by step by selecting colors that work well together.
Question.03
What are the purpose and unique qualities of this class?
My goal in this class is to help learners create portraits that are easy to follow yet unique to their own style and distinct from others. Even if you’re new to Procreate, you’ll be able to follow along easily, including the exercises. You’ll learn to draw portraits with a soft, clear texture and varied reflected light. Since I cover various facial expressions—one of the main appeals of my art—this class is perfect for those interested in depicting expressive faces.
Question.04
Please leave a message for future students and aspiring creators.
I’m really excited to showcase my greatly improved color and illustration skills on Coloso. Join me to learn all my techniques and expertise in just one class. From newly introduced sections to upgraded and restructured parts, everything has been meticulously organized based on previous feedback. If you’re interested in emulating my style or learning my drawing techniques, challenge yourself with this class. The more you practice, the easier things will become. Soon, you’ll have the confidence to tackle references you’ve only ever dreamed of trying.
