“I saw this wonderful artist in Young House Love's Instagram stories and fell in love with the wonderful illustrations. Couldn't believe there was a Skillshare class too! My sister and I decided to have our own quarantine paint night.” - Xuan-Lise
“Work has been crazy busy and I was looking for a class that I would actually have the time to complete. This was perfect! I ended up drawing it from the sample, and using the colors that I had on my palette instead of mixing, but I think I will do it again and actually mix the colors. I really enjoyed this project, even if I didn't do it the right way!” - Audrey
“A very engaging approach to easily manage and control the fluid aspects of watercolor illustration. It's wonderful that printable illustrations are readily available to get going on a new project! Hassle-free and fun!” - Jeané
“This was a fun, therapeutic project. Thanks for making it, Erika!” - My Creative Outlet
“Finally got the mermaids done! Lots of room for improvement, but I am THRILLED! I overworked some areas and was impatient and messed up some of the layering in the balloons because I didn’t wait for them to fully dry, hehe.”
“But I am so pumped to have learned about colors and using water and tips like the color variations on their tops. This was wonderful! Thank you Erika!” - Sam
“What a fun class! I just doodled my first fashionable character—I never realized how important sleeves could be!” - Kirk
“This was a fun class with a really manageable way to dressing your characters. I struggle with this part of the drawing process; everyone ends up wearing the same outfit. The instructor's method on how to create and make idea boards and the work sheets are very good for helping me put it all together. I think anyone taking this class will definitely learn something very useful.” - Kimberly
