First of all: I’m so thankful for each and every one of you!

Ya tengo mi primera clase en Español! Y ahora todas las otras clases tienen subtítulos en Español y otros idiomas.
Procreate
Learn how I use the super cool Procreate app on the iPad to create professional illustrations, patterns and even animations.

“Wonderful class which I have learnt so much from. Sandra creates easy to follow lessons and I love the brushes included with the class. I am so excited to start creating in Procreate now after a long time of not enjoying the app. She explains each step very well and has a great flow to her class too. Highly recommend watching this! I plan on watching all her other classes too. Definitely a five star review from me!”
— Nicola Jane (Student)

“I love her teaching style - clear and straight to the point. Thanks, Sandra, for teaching us to create our own mock-ups. Saved me $$$ from buying online. :)”
— Airees E. (Student)
Traditional Media
Learn to illustrate in different traditional mediums: ink, watercolor, gouache and acrylics. And discover some special tools and effects, like masking fluid and gold leaf!

"Wow - I did not expect so much information. I'm very impressed. She was smooth and easy to listen to. The only thing wrong and it was minimal - I couldn't see the drawing of the leaves before she painted them, but I know the drawing has to be light so I understand. I really liked this class and this instructor!"
Jill McGee (Student)

“I had so much fun with this class. The examples are achievable, cute and fun to do. I had to redo a couple of them, and I got surprised with how much better I was after some practice and some tips. The mixture of techniques, such as watercolors, pencils, pens and others are very interesting and not too difficult to incorporate. Great class indeed!”
— Suellen Almeida (Student)

“My favorite thing about this class is the demonstration of 3 techniques using gouache which shows just how versatile this medium is... After watching this class, it feels like the techniques are perfectly achievable and it makes me want to break out my paint box and brushes. Sandra’s classes are always a treat and this one is no exception!”
— Sophia Caldwell (Student)

“In this class Sandra shares her innovative, “non-color theory” approach to understanding the colors in your palette and to selecting harmonious color palettes for your projects. Sandra even provides blank templates so you can easily complete your own chart(s). Excellent class ... highly recommend! Thank you, Sandra! PS I have always disliked my tube of DS Buff Titanium; I think that mentality is about to change—love your pastel color wheel! :)”
— Jo C. (Student)

"I found this really helpful, not only in terms of the art work itself, but also the process from artwork to design. I'm just entering this area, and although I won't be using the CAD process myself, I did need to know a little about it, to better understand how to present my designs. So, thank you! A great class :O)"
-Holly Tomas (Student)

"Absolutely loved the exercises you provided. Those are so important -- experienced artists make line work look so easy, but it sure takes time to get the hand, ink and stroke to work correctly! Loved how you showed the stippling and how to add it to lines and heavier stippling. Thank you so much for sharing your experience, talent and ideas!"

Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Photoshop is the software I use to clean up my scans, create layouts, build my patterns and create final files for clients. Learn my tips and tricks on using it for illustration and surface pattern design.
"Oh, this class was so awesome! First of all, Sandra is just delightful and brings a lot of enthusiasm to her class. But all the steps for creating patterns (even with an older version of Photoshop!) were well-explained and easy to follow. The resources included with the class are really great as well. Of particular interest was the recoloring section--I've already used all the tools she mentioned, but had never thought to put them together the way she did. A terrific class and a definite MUST for any pattern-maker! "
-Heather Taylor (Student)

"This is a good, quick way to understand how to make patterns from your own designs. You have to be familiar with photoshop, though. But it's well explained and the little creatures are adorable! :-)"
-Claude Aimée Villeneuve

Digitally Color your Hand-Drawn Illustrations
"I am new to Photoshop for my illustrations. I've watched several tutorials on how to digitally colour linework but this one I've come back to several times. Ditto the artist's tutorial on how to isolate the linework. She has tips I've found useful that I haven't seen on other Skillshare videos."
-Jess Hannar (Student)
Vectors
Creating vector illustrations and patterns on the go on your iPad is really easy, learn how I do it in the Vectornator Pro app. Please be aware that these are for older versions of the App and I won't be updating them. They're still useful because the tools work the same.
Designer Toys
Using polymer clay has allowed me to bring my characters to life in a 3D medium, learn how I do it and how I create molds and reproductions of my toys.

"This is a fun and informative class that clearly demonstrates step by step how to design, create and paint a custom toy figure using polymer clay. The techniques taught could also apply to other types of clay. I recommend this class to anyone that would like to make their own unique characters."
-Karen E.
