Skillshare Mel Armstrong Class Desktop Wallpaper Class Review


I adore any courses that Mel Armstrong offers on Skillshare. Her course on Skillshare was highly informative about how to create various aspects of a surface design or pattern design. I found the videos to be clear and she tends to provide all kinds of additional resources in her class to allow students to mock up their own versions.

I think the course is definitely one of the best. The others sometimes when to quickly on the software steps. I think she breaks it down very clearly. 

I did the course on the wallpaper designs. She provides a mock-up that she created for personal use and not for resale. I used it above to create the mock-up for the wallpaper I created using a Sealife Pattern inspired by me living in the Coastal Low Country. I guess I should call it Low Country Sealife Pattern. 

I'll be posting the wallpaper designs on my website for free download.

Skillshare offers 1 months for free. I think the only thing is the streaming on the site. I found it to be slower then Youtube or Lynda.com. I would have to refresh several times to get the video to start. I really like looking at what the other students have created from watching the course. 

There is another course for pattern design by Elizabeth Olwen that I enjoyed as well.

IF: CONFINED

This is an illustration I did for Summer Shorts Anthology. It's a scan from the book. It was a poem about having to go on the high dive. With all the other kids waiting behind you. I'd feel confine if I was afraid of the height and had only 1 way out.
