5 Illustrative Skillshare Classes You Can Enroll in Right Now

Online Art Classes

The kid­dos and col­lege stu­dents have recent­ly start­ed their school year, but if you’re not one of them, have no fear. You can jump­start your learn­ing any time with online art class­es from Skill­share. Last week, I announced a spe­cial offer of 2 free months of Skill­share Pre­mi­um—that means you can take as many class­es as you like!

I recent­ly com­plet­ed illus­tra­tor Ohn Mar Win’s Sketch­book Prac­tice class that chal­lenged me to use pen to make my paint­ings pop. While I total­ly rec­om­mend it, there are a bevy of class­es to try that are all part of the Skill­share Pre­mi­um membership.
