The subject matter is not always fully…

The subject matter is not always fully explained. In some cases, it is a general overview and not enough for someone to learn the skill. The filming has limited quality as well, often missing the hands of the person doing the demo. It is also somewhat pricey.

Great but need a way to send the projects privately!

Only took one course so far but it was pretty great! Though I would really appreciate a way to upload the final project privately instead of to a gallery open to everyone since the one I did was for a personal project and would like a private option to get the certificate!

Reply from Skillshare2026-05-07

Hi Aster, We're glad to hear you liked your first class — that’s awesome to hear. We totally get what you mean about keeping projects private, especially when it’s something personal. That’s a fair point. We'll make sure it gets passed along to the team.

Fraudulent business - stay away

I have been searching around on Skillshare's website for about 10 minutes - and it is impossible to get some information about prices, terms and how to quit subscription Apparently, Skillshare is just another fraudulent teaching site that bases their business model on cheating people - just like Patreon, Udemy, Domestika,and Coursera. Stay away. Use YouTube. PS. Read the reviews of Skillshare's former customers: the vast majority of complaints are about being cheated. Skillshare is nothing but bullshit business.

Hi Anna, Thank you for sharing your experience—we’re really sorry to hear how frustrating this has been. Not being able to quickly find clear information about pricing, terms, or how to cancel a subscription can definitely be discouraging, and we understand why that left a negative impression. We want to be transparent, and we’re sorry if that wasn’t your experience. For clarity, subscription details—including pricing, billing terms, and how to cancel—are available in your account settings, and cancellation can be done directly there at any time. We offer different membership prices based on region, so we're unfortunately unable to provide prices until you have created an account. We're sorry to hear about the confusion with the cancellation process. Please know that we are actively working to enhance our systems to prevent such occurrences in the future. We've outlined the steps to cancel via our public Help Center below: https://help.skillshare.com/hc/articles/115001701651 That said, your feedback is important, and we’ll be sharing it with our team to help improve how this information is presented and made easier to find. If you have any further questions or concerns, please just drop us a note at any time!

Most of the courses are too shallow

Most of the courses are too shallow, there are many courses talking about the same things and not enough diversity.

Reply from Skillshare2026-05-04

Hi Klev, Thank you for your honest feedback — we really appreciate you sharing this. We understand how frustrating it can feel when courses seem repetitive or don’t go deep enough into a topic, especially if you’re looking for more advanced or diverse content. That’s an important part of the learning experience, and it’s something we’re continuously working to improve. Your feedback about depth and variety is valuable, and we’ll make sure it’s shared with the team as we continue expanding and refining the course catalog.

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.

HI Tija, Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear that you’re enjoying the simple and easy-to-understand explanations—that’s exactly the kind of learning experience we hope to create. We also appreciate your suggestion about having an easier way to type in a topic and quickly find exactly what you want to learn. That’s a thoughtful idea, and feedback like yours helps us continue improving the platform for learners. It’s wonderful to hear that your first experience has been a positive one, and we hope Skillshare continues to be a great place for you as you explore more classes.

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!
