Meet Your Teacher
I'm Sarah, a freelance illustrator based in Scotland. I create playful, narrative based artwork celebrating nature, imagination, and emotion. I graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design with a BDes (honours) in Animation in 2016, and have been freelancing since 2019.
Empowering other creatives to develop their illustration skills is a big part of my work. As a Top Teacher on Skillshare, I’ve helped over 40,000 students level up their practice by sharing my own techniques and processes.
What Students Are Saying
"I always leave Sarah's classes with a strong set of transferable skills that immediately improve anything I work on afterward. I'm able to create pieces that I can be really proud of with the logical and encouraging organization of the lessons." - K R, Illustrated Environments
“I love how Sarah shows her process but at the same time leaves enough space for your own imagination. By following her steps, you can just trust the process and see what you will end up with. You can do it at your own level of skill, adding as much details and putting in as much time as you like.” - Geanne W, Drawing Houses in Procreate
“Fun class! The practice exercises were relaxing and I felt loose and creative while doing them. I enjoy Sarah's classes for her easy-does-it approach. You never feel pressure to do things a certain way but rather to express yourself using her exercises and ideas.” - Jessie S, Flowers & Foliage
"Going into this class, landscapes were an intimidating concept for me. Sarah's process helped break all the components of landscape illustration into digestible pieces with clear, easy-to-understand principles and calming teaching style." - Chad B, Illustrated Environments
“This class gave me the confidence to draw something I've been wanting to explore for a long time. I had been feeling overwhelmed by all the ideas I had for a scene with buildings in it, with no clue where to start. Sarah lays out the process from planning to completion so well, with all sorts of steps I never would have thought of. It was very relaxing to work on this project and get lost in the details, and to stretch my imagination on what details I could add. I'd recommend this class to anyone!” - Rachel, Drawing Houses in Procreate
“This class was very fun as a different way to represent plants. Great to loosen the drawings and not be too worried about perfection, but more of experiment and having fun with what can be done and so many different ways to represent plants.” - Marisa G, Flowers & Foliage
"This class is again fully packed with knowledge and important tips and tricks, it is amazing and takes my landscape planning at least three steps further. Sarah is incredibly sympathic as a teacher, her encouraging and motivating way of teaching makes me want to watch more new classes from her right away. And besides that her artistic skill are equally amazing which makes it easy to believe everything she teaches us about theory. Thanks for this great content!" - Jutta S, Illustrated Environments
