Hi, I’m Sarah Watts!

I’m an illustrator, art educator and surface designer for Ruby Star Society. I have worked with over 35 companies ranging from the fashion to the literary to the stationery and gift industries with brands like Target, American Greetings, and Houghton Mifflin. I specialize in teaching Photoshop, surface design, and drawing techniques and I’m so incredibly proud to say that hundreds of students have learned how to live more creatively through my courses like From Paint to Pattern or through my membership: Sketchbook Squad. Working in both illustration and fabric design have each taught me a LOT about taking analog art into a digital world and I’m so excited to pass on that knowledge to you!

How to Draw 12 Flowers

When drawing beautiful florals found in nature, I find it easiest to break the elements down into simple shapes and add details in later. In this guide I show you how to draw twelve different flowers, which you can then ink and add color to your heart’s content!

How to Digitize Your Artwork

It's now easier than ever to start a product line with access to print on demand. The very first step in this process is to hone your art skills. From there you can design things like: 

Fabric • Gift wrap • Stationery • Coffee Mugs • Apparel • Enamel pins • Patches • & More!

Fast track your skills as an artist in the gift industry!
