My Learning Journey: 10 Illustration Courses That Made a Difference

If there’s one thing I truly believe in, it’s that learning never stops no matter if we’re going through different course tasks or just walking somewhere outside. Even a short walk can become a source of inspiration, as we notice tiny details, movements, and stories unfolding around us. By just observing things we can learn so much and this can be transformed later on in our work and art.

I love spending time watching birds, animals, and people going about their daily lives, catching glimpses of things I’ve never noticed before. But just as much as I enjoy learning from the world around me, I also love diving into new knowledge online. Over the past few years, I’ve dedicated lots of time to expanding my skills through platforms like Skillshare, Domestika, YouTube, LinkedIn Learning, and Coursera. Some courses have been incredibly eye-opening and inspiring, while others… well, let’s just say I could have skipped them. But every experience has been a lesson in itself, and I’m grateful for the endless opportunities to learn.

So today, I’m excited to share 10 of my favourite illustration courses so far - the ones that truly helped me grow and kept me motivated. Here they are:

I hope you find these courses just as valuable and inspiring on your own artistic journey! If you have any favourite courses to recommend, I’d love to hear about them - feel free to reach out via email or send me a DM on Instagram. I’m always happy to chat about learning and illustration!

I wish you all a wonderful end of the week!
