Skillshare
Skillshare is a creative learning platform that offers self-paced online classes in illustration, design, photography and other creative arts, but also in business, technology and lifestyle.
With an affordable monthly or annual membership, you’ll get unlimited access to Judy’s and thousands of other classes.

Illustration Academy Series
The Illustration Academy Series focuses on illustration in general, and on character design and technique in specific.
Broken down into clear and easy steps, using simple materials, and slowly building towards more complexity, the classes are suitable for all levels.
This series will help you improve your drawing and design skills, flex your creative muscles, and build a solid drawing foundation.
To deepen your learning experience, you can upload your project, give and get feedback from the teacher and fellow students, and develop your work even further.
All classes can be taken on their own, or as a series.

Drawing Magic Series
(NOTE: unfortunately, as of 2023, the class in this series won’t be available anymore)
The courses in the Drawing Magic Series are meant to loosen up, have fun, and break through mental and creative barriers in a playful, unrestricted manner. In these courses it’s all about creation, experimentation and exploration, and less about technique and perfection.
