I’m also a huge fan of Domestika and their wide ranging, high spec classes. Also, the great thing is Domestika isn't subscription based. You can but the courses that interest you and work on them when you want. They have regular sales too, so it's worth checking out.

I've been working as an illustrator for almost a decade now but that doesn’t mean I can be complacent. There is always room to improve and try new skills. With the emergence of Procreate in the last few years I’ve found taking classes specifically on this subject to help me understand the software.


I've also learnt about pattern styles I was unfamiliar with, how to create videos for social media, and gained extra knowledge about art licensing.


Learning new skills seems to get more exciting as you get older. I’m not sure why that is, but ultimately it means I've still got plenty of years left to learn some great life skills and keep adding to skills base.
