Beautiful Procreate Portraits by Jinsung Lim

South Korean artist Jinsung Lim uses Procreate as his primary tool for creating strikingly lifelike portraits with an emotive quality. His impressive portfolio of realistic portraits often showcases depictions of celebrities, such as Cillian Murphy, Amanda Seyfried, Robert De Niro and Tom Holland, which are featured here.

Each portrait is rendered with such precision and depth that it’s easy to mistake them for actual photographs. But beyond the surface, his subjects are tipically drawn with an emotional element. Whether it’s an introspective look or an expression of joy, his creations always convey a personal narrative.

Jinsung’s process, as showcased on his YouTube channel, is meticulous and deeply involved. He often starts with a basic sketch before building up layers of color and texture to create a detailed, photorealistic representation.
