Hi! I'm so happy you're here! I'm also curious to find out which of these 5 mistakes were new to you and are helping you to move forward with more clarity?

[@squickicka]

I think the first mistake is such a big one! I feel like you just gave me an epiphany. When I'm not pleased with how my art looks I stop drawing things I want to draw and instead tell myself I need to just focus on anatomy. But I'm not actually interested in JUST focusing on anatomy, so I end up not drawing anything at all for long periods of time! It makes so much more sense to come up with an idea and then pause to do the dedicated research on how to make that idea look as good as you want it to.

[@CarolinPeters]

Amazing! I'm so happy that this was useful for you. Let me know what ideas you'll be working on!

[@meikoluvv]

You are underrated. You’re an amazing teacher, I almost practically gave up in frustration. And studying anatomy can be overwhelming but this video helped. I’ll get started now

[@CarolinPeters]

Thank you! That's so sweet of you to say! I'm so excited to hear that you'll keep up your studies. I believe in you!!!

[@mysel2266]

This is the most unique anatomy tutorial I've seen even from the big channels which dives into the why's alot which is so good, i never seen the first mistake being adressed and this is really genius, this is one of the best free videos i watched on anatomy and it helped me alot! Hope your channel grows more in the future!

[@CarolinPeters]

It makes me so happy to know that I'm answering things you've been wondering about. I hope it'll help you move forward with your creative pursuits.

[@LoveBystroem]

You know, I don’t personally need these tips that much as of right now because I’m quite a bit further along my journey, but this is a great video!

[@ToluDude]

Loved this video! Thank you for the tips, anatomy has been tricky for me

[@CarolinPeters]

You're welcome! Keep at it! It takes a lot of work, but I know you can do it.

[@kaykenogo8110]

I truly appreciate the tip of studying anatomy with poses I'm already exited about

[@CarolinPeters]

Nice! It's definitely a good reminder!

[@lk-vq3qh]

Thank you, u such a treasure. fr to understand first mistake you mention required me six years of figure drawing and your video. actually you first person to teach me how to learn anatomy properly , all of my teachers always told things like “just draw” or “just do studies” and i feel myself just like blind kitten. so it was more than helpful thank you❤

[@CarolinPeters]

Love hearing that!!! I truly hope you'll feel more focused in your studies now :)

[@marqueewilson]

AMAZING as usual! Your videos always come when I feel stuck in my drawing adventures, haha. Thank you so much for your lessons!

[@CarolinPeters]

Excellent. Glad to get your unstuck!

[@reshen]

[@mobina616]

Thank you❤️ The whole video is extremely helpful😍👌🏻

[@CarolinPeters]

Awesome, I love hearing that!

[@Fr13s]

I'm glad this popped up in my feed! Very informative and well explained. Thank you for making this video!

[@CarolinPeters]

Happy it crossed your path, too. Happy drawing!

[@staceylynnash]

Amazing!!!!!

[@CarolinPeters]

Yay, so glad you liked it! Let me know if you have any other drawing questions.

[@staceylynnash]

I absolutely will 😊

[@ademnaman6305]

Thank you for this wonderful video. Would you give us a good arrangement to master drawing. (i mean like gesture drawing, proportions, anatomy, respective, and facials expression..) I find myself confused every time I carry a book or watch a video lesson. where should i start and what the most important to practice daily

[@CarolinPeters]

Have you watched my free masterclass yet? I think it will answer this for you: draw.clickfunnels.com/seperate-webinar-opt-in-page1666717801595

[@tomrees4812]

Hi Carolin, how important/useful do you think it would be to own a full skeleton to draw? Drawing is just one of my several hobbies but I go to a life drawing session every week. Thanks. PS I have the book you mention (along with several others) but I have yet to use them, partly because I wasn’t really sure how to. I mean, should I just go through copying all the illustrations. This video has explained perfectly how they should be used😊

[@CarolinPeters]

If you want to be able to draw the figure from imagination it may be a good investment. Or if you just enjoy anatomy nerdery. But if you enjoy drawing from observation just studying a 3d model may be sufficient.

[@tomrees4812]

Thanks Carolin.

[@irmabecx4758]

The idea of "research" I found helpful. Constantly need to remind myself practice drawings are jus that - practice. :)

[@CarolinPeters]

Yes, exactly! Glad this was a useful insight for you!
