April 22, 2021 - IMHO Reviews, a leading source for evaluations of digital platforms, has turned its focus on two new and upcoming class launches for the Skillshare online learning website.
Skillshare is an industry leader in online learning platforms with a vast collection of more than 20,000 video-based classes, including more than 2,000 available for free. IMHO Reviews is assessing two of its newest classes – Character Design: From First Idea to Final Illustration and Social Media Storytelling: Make Videos People Care About.
In Character Design: From First Idea to Final Illustration, launched April 12, artist and entrepreneur Josiah (Jazza) Brooks walks aspiring writers through his process for designing characters, from initial idea to final product. Students begin the online course by learning tips and tricks for coming up with ideas for story characters and conducting research for inspiration and context. They are then able to see Jazza undergo the entire sketching and design progression, learning how to communicate character traits through design elements, how to bring cohesion into a group of charactersand how to create finalized work to present their ideas.
Jazza is an Australian YouTuber, artist, animator, illustrator and presenter whose YouTube channel has more than 5.5 million subscribers and more than 1 billion total video views. He is best known for his art tutorials, animations and challenges.
As part of the class, students can “watch over Jazza’s shoulder as he designs four new characters from scratch right before your eyes.” His instruction includes using inspiration, brainstorming, refining and testing and presentation to make characters come to life. Among the reviews on the Skillshare site, 84% said the class “exceeded expectations,” with one reviewer noting, “His explanation of his steps achieving a character was really enlightening and showed me a new way to approach this topic.”
In the class Social Media Storytelling: Make Videos People Care About, launching April 27, instructor Lilly Singh gives students an in-depth look into her storytelling process across multiple platforms. Students are taught tips and methods for the basics of online storytelling, keeping up with social media content and trends, and the process of choosing the right objectives to enhancetheir content creation.
Singh is a Canadian comedian, talk show host, actress who has gone by the pseudonym iiSuperwomanii on her popular YouTube channel, which has almost 15 million subscribers and more than 3 billion video views. She has been included on the Forbes list of the world’s highest-paid YouTubers, and the publication named her one of the 40 most powerful people in comedy in 2019.
"Skillshare is constantly working on bringing new superstar teachers into their community,” said VitaliyLano, owner of IMHO Reviews. “It is very exciting to see Jazza and Lilly teaching at Skillshare, and I am sure many members will benefit from this. In the end, Skillshare wants their members to explore, discover, create, play and find what fascinates them, and this is the perfect opportunity.”
