I signed up last year and have not regretted my decision. It has helped me to learn how to do so many things from being an entrepreneur to illustrating to learn knitting all at my own pace and anywhere. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing and giving others insight into a great platform!

I really appreciate that you shared your feelings on each class you took & especially mentioning how they contrast to your formal schooling classes & also educational videos on yt. Also it was funny that you couldn't seem to help but smile anytime you were about to say the word skill lmao.

@@soniastegemann1923 I’ve thought about using skillshare for a while since I have a hard time learning on my own. The only thing holding me back is not being able to find what I need or the teachers I would need in order to progress. I’ve struggled with learning to draw for so many years that I’m on the brink of giving up again permanently…there’s so many things that I just don’t know or know what the term is or know what the next step is for me since art is such a broad subject and can have many different types of teaching methods. I just want to be able to create at this point Sorry for the rant

[@suzannepowers1051]

It is good to hear a creatives thoughts about Skillshare. The teachers you referenced appear to be experienced illustrators which is impressive. Are you aware of any other teaching websites like SS for creatives? Have you heard anything about Udemy being good for creatives? I know they have many classes and took one that gave me the knowledge to apply for a professional level job for the company I work for. They would probably be good for creatives but I haven't researched that area.

[@soniastegemann1923]

Thank you! I definitely would need to check those out, I haven't heard of them that much or tried them!

[@OriGummie]

I'm looking for the most basic illustration class, but there are so many platforms! I'm transitioning from traditional art (pencil, dip pen) to digital, and my knowledge of Photoshop is zero~. If people in the comments could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it! Your art is awesome!

[@soniastegemann1923]

I can relate! Getting into digital art is super hard!! Its like learning to draw all over again! I can recommend starting with a simpler program like Firealpaca and focus on your hand eye coordination first^^ Skillshare also has introduction classes into the Adobe programs which would be helpful to get started in Photoshop at first!:) And then you'd just need a workflow that works for you, which will happen on its own while you experiment!

[@soniastegemann1923]

Maybe start with a pencil or inking brush in Photoshop and draw like you would normally on paper first to get used to the new program and then venture out into colors/ layers and new techniques! If you are looking for any specific tutorial please let me know I'm happy to explain anything about Photoshop that you need!^^

[@OriGummie]

@@soniastegemann1923 Thank you for your reply! I actually started with Clip Studio Paint already because it's less intimidating than Photoshop, and I'm loving it so far. I've just gotta practice now. Thank you for useful info! I greatly appreciate it!

Huge Photoshop tip for people!!!- The sRGB profile in Photoshop, has the smallest color spectrum. Never use that. The prophoto profile has the widest range, and you should always use that with 16-bit.. never lower.

[@minty2143]

I understand that every experience is different and I decided to use one of those promo codes by a ytber and I’m kinda like ummm oof. Cause like it’s doesn’t have variety or a vast library for every kind of thing. It’s very specific like I wanted to learn how to draw Korean style anime like webtoon kinda shit.. and there was nothing at all and the regular anime style was super limited. Like it’s a very specific app for only basic classes. Like you can learn languages animation etc. bu t like just technical stuff.

[@soniastegemann1923]

Yes I see your point, it focused on professional classes that you would only get in schools etc:) There are a lot of very helpful animation tutorials though! And also content around drawing comics! So l'd still see how you could use Skillshare for learning how to make your own anime style animations or getting into professional programs like Indesign or Photoshop to make webcomics

Do you think this could be a good and cheap replacement for college? (besides knowing that their aren’t teachers there to critique)

[@soniastegemann1923]

Yes I feel like online classes (skillshare, schoolism etc) can be a great replacement for more traditional college art education! I personally only have a degree in graphic design and everything I know about illustration, I taught myself on the internet and by practice! But in order to do so, you need a good work ethic and know exactly what your goals are/ what you need to learn, so it kind of depends on the type of person you are/ how you learn best!^^

[@prospectxv7703]

@@soniastegemann1923 Thank you!!! For learning, if I’m really dedicated to what I’m working on and want to do (which I am) I feel like It’d just be easier for me to go on skillshare and only have to pay $10 per month bc it’s like watching tutorials on Yt just more in depth and I’ve learned so much already just by watching Yt. And if I’m more focused on digital work and getting into digital animation (such as anime) do you think there would be more opportunities in something like skillshare since their are more professional artists on there and I could find more courses that focus on me?

Please be careful with your words. You said Skillshare pays you a kickback every time someone signs up. A kickback is actually illegal. You have been paid a commission which is completely legal. Here is a brief definition of kickback for your edification: A "kickback" is a term used to refer to a misappropriation of funds that enriches a person of power or influence who uses the power or influence to make a different individual, organization, or company richer. Often, kickbacks result from a corrupt bidding scheme. ... Some also consider kickbacks to be a type of bribery.

Don't learn art and photography from skillshare trust me it's worthless. Took Brandon woefel course to see how he edits. Six useless videos (Now i can do photomanipulation and illustrator design just from KZbin) If u want more i repeat get a good premium course for digital artist entirely coz skillshare is so not worth it for art and photography. For art look for art course from art professionals and not some youtuber. Reasons:- They have worked in Disney, Pixar, Netflix, etc. Most KZbinr are just not good teacher because learning something and teaching it is totally different. So get a proper online course like from Masters academy for arts.
