Esther’s Art Lab Waitlist

Modern Mixed Media, From paper to pixels

The comprehensive course for artists who want to work fluidly between traditional and digital, without losing their creative voice. Launching fall 2025

About The Class

  • 10h+ high quality video instructions as well as audio sessions that offer tips on tackling issues illustrators face.

  • Advanced beginners will find it right at home. You should have some basic experience with either traditional drawing or digital tools, but don't need to be an expert. If you can sketch and have tried digital drawing in any programs before, you're ready.

  • Fall 2025. I'm building this carefully to make sure it's really good. Waitlist folks get the heads up first.

  • It's self-paced, so you can work through it whenever fits your schedule. No pressure, no deadlines.

  • Not at launch, it's primarily self-study with optional group coaching calls for the initial phase. if you want feedback and guidance. You get the content and can choose your level of interaction.

  • Not at all! This is about fluid workflow between traditional and digital. We start on paper, then show you how to enhance and finish digitally while keeping your artistic voice.

  • Procreate, Photoshop, and Illustrator. I show you when to use each one and how to move projects between them for the best results.

  • You will have the lifetime access of the content you purchased.

About Esther Nariyoshi

Hi! I'm Esther, and I've spent years figuring out how to make traditional and digital art play nicely together. After teaching 40+ classes on illustration as a Top Teacher on Skillshare, with 45K+ students, and licensing my work to major brands, I've learned what actually works (and what's just marketing fluff). This lab is everything I wish I'd had when I was starting out.

This was such a fun class. I've literally spent the rest of the day playing around with shapes and colour variations. I think it's addictive. Thank you for inspiring me.

What students say about Esther’s classes

Rita V

This was such a helpful class. Illustrator can be overwhelming, but Esther made these lessons easy to follow & fun to do. Highly recommend!

Antonia T

I had so much fun experimenting with shapes and color combinations! Pathfinder and shapebuilder have become almost intuitive during the course of the class. I spent more time on the class project than anticipated simply because I was enjoying it so much. Thank you, Esther, for another great class ^_^

Great class with a great project accessible to all skill levels. Steps are actionable and the end result is a beautiful project that anyone would love to create.
