Have you heard of "Skillshare"? If you love to learn (another obsession over here), this site offers classes on every subject from just about anyone who wants to teach, for a mere $20.
I'm currently enrolled in this class taught by a favorite blog illustrator.
This is hers from her blog, PaperFashion

Painting lesson is next week, so I'll share color when I'm done.
(And keep practicing, and practicing, and practicing..........)
