My experience with one of the Skillshare courses
Recently I completed the course from Toby Haseler with the title "Urban sketching basics - Trees, bushes, hedges, flowers and greenery". I like the teaching style of Toby and I learned about the loose style of sketching he prefers. A good course! But in the end I decided that this is not my style of sketching. So I am happy to have followed this course. There are lots of other courses available on Skillshare from him and other teachers so I can recommend Skillshare if you want to improve your sketching and/or painting.

HI John,
Thank you so much for sharing this thoughtful feedback!
We’re glad to hear you enjoyed Toby Haseler’s class and connected with his teaching style. It’s wonderful that the course helped you explore a different sketching approach—even discovering what isn’t your style can be such a valuable part of the creative journey.
That openness to experiment and learn from different teachers is exactly what makes platforms like Skillshare so rewarding. We’re happy to hear you’d recommend it to others looking to improve their sketching or painting skills.
Wishing you continued inspiration as you keep exploring and finding the style that feels most like you!

I love how the explanation is simple and easy to understand. I would love if there was a simple thing to type a topic and it gives you directly what you need and want to know/learn. I just started so maybe I’ll change my mind but for the start it is very good.

TERRIBLE SCAM WARNING! Do not give them your payment information.
TERRIBLE! Last year I signed up because I was advertised a different price than they actually charged me. I tried to get a refund, and they said they could not cancel my subscription. I went to the website and canceled right away so they would not charge me the following year. Oh, surprise! I just got charged. Somehow, they kept my payment info and automatically renewed the subscription without my consent. I do not understand how they are allowed to do this. I had already CANCELLED LAST YEAR. I tried deleting my payment information, and the website does not let me. I am afraid I will get charged again and again.

I really like the wide selection of different topics, although it's also a bit overwhelming. What I don't like so much is that I'm constantly being asked via email to post something myself. That's not what I'm looking for. I want to be inspired and, ideally, learn something new in the process. I'm also reluctant to express my opinions publicly online, so the fact that I'm sharing my views here definitely speaks in favor of Skillshare. If there are no hidden costs, then the price seems extremely fair to me. You'll get the fifth star from me if you stop pestering me ;) Love, peace, freedom, and happiness to all.
