What Students Are Saying

“I absolutely love this class! Searched for months and months trying to find something helpful on how to draw characters for storyboarding and then this appeared and it's everything I've been desperate to learn. Sarah makes this super easy and fun. Loved seeing how you can give even inanimate objects like sacks such unique stories with a few simple tricks. My favourite class on Skillshare!”

- Aram

“Really enjoyed Sarah's latest teachings. The previous class set a high bar already for quality and provided lots of golden nuggets of knowledge as well. But here she's really outdone herself. The "hand illustration" exercise alone is worth gold!”

- Iwan

“Sarah takes you step by step through her process in this fun class. I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to others!”
