The Bundle:
Reality to Fantasy™ + Portrait for Meaning™
2 full courses. 18+ hours of content. 1 clear path to go from total beginner to iconic, stylized, story-driven portraits.
START NOWOne clear path to complete portrait mastery.
Creating portraits that truly stand out can feel impossible. With so many resources out there, the endless stream of Instagram artists, and the rise of AI art, it’s tough to make your work unique.
But here’s the truth: the artists who truly stand out don’t just draw well—they have a unique artistic vision. After years of trial and error, I’ve created a clear, straightforward path to help you master the techniques and vision that make portraits both meaningful and unforgettable.
The best part? All you need is a pencil and some paper.
In this bundle, combining Reality to Fantasy™ and Portrait for Meaning™, you’ll start by mastering the fundamentals of both realistic and stylized portrait drawing—proportions, shading, observation, and stylization. Then, we’ll dive into artistic composition, teaching you how to make deliberate creative choices that add real meaning to your portraits.
As I share the techniques behind my art, you’ll be amazed at how quickly your portraits evolve—session after session.
The door to your artistic transformation is wide open—are you ready to step in?

Léa Wai – Fantasy Portrait Artist
The bedroom floor, a few pencils, and some paper—that’s where my quirky artistic journey began. I’ve always craved adventure, art, and a touch of magic. So I started drawing.
Learning how to create portraits was overwhelming—and often lonely. But I kept going. Fast forward to today—millions of people have stepped into my world to connect with my simple, yet story-filled portraits. And I’ve learned more than I ever imagined along the way.
Now, I’m here to share those lessons with you—and help you shortcut your way to drawing iconic portraits with minimal materials.
Welcome to my world—an inspiring adventure awaits.
My Portfolio
Courses content
The ultimate portrait bundle.
With Reality to Fantasy™, you’ll master the technical side of portrait drawing—both realistic and stylized—from scratch. Then Portrait for Meaning™ takes you beyond technique, into the world of composition, symbolism, and storytelling—so you can make intentional creative choices and craft portraits that truly resonate.
What you’ll be learning
Draw heads and features from any angle, effortlessly.
Forget complex anatomy and overwhelming techniques. I’ll teach you my (very) simple method to draw heads and features in any position—even the most dramatic ones.
Explore realist and stylized shading.
Shading is the key to turning flat sketches into striking works of art that demand attention. In this course, you’ll learn how to place shadows, build values step by step, and bring your drawings to life—using both realistic and stylized techniques like hatching.
Bring life and energy to your portrait.
Say goodbye to stiff expressions and same-face syndrome with observational practice. Learn my 4-step method to draw from life—so you can add variety, emotion, and organic beauty to every stylized face.
Dive into portrait stylization.
Once your fundamentals are solid, you’ll learn how to break the rules with intention. I’ll guide you through my stylization process—so you can turn realistic faces into portraits that reflect your own artistic vision.
Master character narrative and universal storytelling.
I’ve spent years studying storytelling and applying it to portraits. In this masterclass, you’ll learn my simple, step-by-step process to create compelling portrait backstories that deeply connect with your audience.
Finally conquer character design.
It doesn’t have to be complicated. In this masterclass, you’ll learn how to use shape language, archetypes, and visual storytelling to express your characters’ personalities—through simple thumbnails, drafts, and intentional design.
Analyze Old Masters with me.
The best way to master composition is to learn from those who did it best. I’ll show you how to study Old Masters, decode their visual decisions, and apply the same principles to your own portraits—intuitively and with intention.
Create with intention.
No more random decisions. In this masterclass, you’ll finally master composition tools like lighting, POV, flow, and visual hierarchy. Through multiple thumbnails and drafts, you’ll refine your ideas and make bold (or subtle) choices that add narrative depth to your portraits.

What my students have to say ?
Ash :
What he says :
"Before discovering the Reality 2 Fantasy course, I felt stuck. I knew what I wanted to achieve, but I just couldn't make it happen. Léa's clear, easy-to-follow videos, paired with concise written materials for quick reference, finally helped me break through. Within a year, I achieved my goals. The personalized feedback from Léa on areas I needed to focus on really accelerated my progress. What I didn’t expect, though, was the incredible community that comes with the course. Everyone is so supportive, always going out of their way to help and encourage each other."
Riisa:
What she says :
"After many years of abstinence from drawing, Reality to Fantasy motivated me to get back on track, pick up my pencils, and finally make progress. Léa provides great feedback on a regular basis, and the community is always super helpful and motivating. The monthly challenges help me develop new ideas and try out new things. I’m really enjoying it!"
Reni:
What she says :
"Léa and her art had a huge impact on me and she was the only one who could make me hold a pencil again after so many years. Thanks to her amazing and helpful course i could find my way back to enjoy drawing again and actually being satisfied with my art. Also her monthly challenges are keeping me motivated to practice. I'm not exaggerating when i say this was one of the best investment i ever made."
Maddy:
What she said about the course :
"This course has helped my portrait drawing immensely"
Tiny :
What he says :
"It's a simple and effective method for learning how to create portraits. The course filled all the gaps I had in terms of proportions and shading. It also made me work hard on head tilting! I learned a lot, whether it was for observational drawing or creating a character from scratch!"
Kyoma85:
What he says :
"My challenges as I started drawing portraits where proportions, angles, expression and shadow layering. I tried to learn alone without clear guidance. Then I found the opportunity to join the course "Reality to Fantasy" of Lea and an art tribe of like mindet creative people. The guidance of the course helped me to improve on what I struggled with a lot and elevated my drawing skills to a new level. Now I am able to draw difficult angles, expressive elements to catch viewers attention and I deepened my love and connection to drawing itself. For me the best part of this course - besides all drawing techniques I learned - is being able to transform my own ideas and imagination into meaningful characters. ✨️"
Bun:
What she said about the course :
"I became a student a couple months ago and can already see a great improvement in my art. I am so so grateful to Léa and I’m so proud of her for the community she’s built."
