  you are providing a very valuable and useful information. additionally, the way of explaining how to practically apply this knowledge is extremely helpful. I have a question I’d like to know the answer to. It is known that one should avoid copying weak works to prevent capturing their weaknesses, which could manifest in the artist’s own work. For example, the old masters did not have the correct anatomical knowledge provided by doctors as we do today, and I notice some anatomical mistakes in their works. If I am to study their works, how can I avoid these mistakes so that I do not incorporate them into my own art? thanks in advance

  Hey there, thanks for the question. I think the important part to remember is that as artists we aim at creating believable worlds that the viewer can experience. To make this happen we don't have to be 100% accurate. Sure, we need to know that humans generally have two arms, for example, and that those are attached to the torso via the shoulder blades and the surrounding muscles. Understanding these muscles will guide us in creating figures that are believable. We can argue that the old masters succeeded in that endeavor most of the time, with maybe a few exceptions. The reason why their work has endured is because people see their depictions as masterful. Not masterful in the sense of perfection or flawlessness, but masterful in the sense that the figures look alive, viable, convincing and inhabiting a world of their own. Being overly concerned with anatomical exactness in my opinion can easily become a distraction from the real task at hand, which is to create the image you have in mind, which is more than just merely copying the subject in front of you. So place your attention on pursuing a sound understanding of anatomy without being afraid of small inaccuracies. What do you think about this?

  This way to think, which you described first, is, just my guess, an result of modern art industry :/ We are overwhelmed by all those highly rendered and overly detailed pieces around the internet. So especially newcomers think it has to be this way, otherwhise its not real art. And mind my manors... i myself needed years to overcome this toxic way of thinking... thats bullsh...! Art is not about THAT. Its a way to interact with ourself kinda. To communicate our thoughts and feelings and so on. Of course today its easier than ever to make a living with art. But money should despite this goal, never be the first guess behind your art. Trust me. I have been trough this myself: it just kills passion and indivituallity of your work.

  here are these various concepts of gesture , mannequinization, landmark and anatomy ... gesture seems fundamental to make drawing more dynamic... and not stiff..and key is to carry it through as drawing evolves... likes of Michael Hampton jump deep into anatomy .. some move from gesture to mannequin but then don't explain how the mannequin connects back to life drawing.. mannequin seems like a tool to draw from imagination... then you have life drawing... based on gesture and landmarks.. where the comparative focuses on relative position of landmarks... then shadow shapes and tone to build volume by turning form... how these concepts can be interwoven to make figure more lively and dynamic isn't always clear.. am I shifting from gesture to observation..am I using mannequin to understand form ..etc... this video tried to connect some of it.. and it seems boxes etc orients the eye to see plane changes and to train eye the boxes help sort of make it real... thank you so much.

  Hi Carolin, out all of all the videos on the Internet re drawing from imagination, this is certainly the most informative and helpful. I need to brush up on landmarks, especially connecting the rib cage to the pelvis. Is there a resource you'd recommend? And Would you say practicing this exercise routinely is the best way to grasp drawing from imagination? I'm hoping so. I'm trying to learn cartooning.

• 
  @CarolinPeters2 ай бұрын

  I'm glad this video is starting to point you in the right direction. Usually any good figure drawing book will have a few pages on landmarks. My favorite is by Michael Hampton called Figure Drawing Design and Invention. Yes, this exercise is a great starting point. You'll also want to practice your ability to capture and create powerful gestures, drawing any simple forms from any vantage point and to create simple yet recognizable shapes. I have a mentoring program that guides artists through acquiring all of these must-have skills. It's in-depth and won't leave anything out. Feel free to schedule a call to see if it's the right thing for you :) calendly.com/curastudios/fit

  Is a lot of anatomy practice the start of gesture drawing?

• 
  @CarolinPeters2 ай бұрын

  Not quite. Gesture drawing is pretty misunderstood. It refers to the kind of drawing that only captures the most basic action of any given pose. What I find most people think of as gestures are actually quick sketch figure drawings. Those are quick drawings, often with some lovely detail work that usually have a strong gesture as their foundation. For these quick sketches it is useful to have some anatomy insights. But I would put the study of gesture, shape and simple form before anatomical studies, as those will prepare you for a more effective study. Hope this helps. Be sure to check out the gesture video I linked to further clarify what I mean! kzread.info/dash/bejne/aWaX2Nt9fN3OZrw.html

  Thank you for the helpful video. I need to loosen up my figures. I tend to be stiff, I am self taught. My figures tend to be stiff but I'm slowly getting into the mindset of loose strokes. I must also not strangle my pencil and lighten up. I find when I start with simple lines and not overwork it in the early stages it helps.

  Thank you for your response to my other question about local value! I thought I'd start a new one to help you with the algorithm (although I don't precisely know how it works, apparently more comments = good). I'm now working from the reference you used and on my first attempt, I got the proportion wrong....I could do it nowhere as fast as you did. Is nailing proportion and form just something that comes with practice, i.e. the more you do it the more precise you can get with proportion and shape, etc? Thanks again!

• 
  @CarolinPeters2 ай бұрын

  Yes, unfortunately those proportions are a hard earned skill. Luckily we can all build this skill. I've been drawing, and more importantly actively practicing technical skills for close to 20 years, so yes, I'm pretty quick by now. Yes, you can learn and get better at proportions and form, by practicing a lot, but it has to be targeted practice. You will learn about this in the master class.😊

• 
  @dpelpal2 ай бұрын

  Thank you for this, I really learned a lot and I'm going to check out your masterclass! Can I ask one question....In the video, you referred to "local value". And you referred to the models bra, and how it was obviously a different color than her skin, etc. So, if that is the local value of the bra, what would the darker red areas be referred to as? In other words, the left hand side of the bra is in a form shadow so it's a much darker shade of red....so what would the color change WITHIN the local value be called I guess is what I'm asking. Thanks!

• 
  @CarolinPeters2 ай бұрын

  I love this question! It shows that you are really thinking along. There is not a separate word for what you're describing. The way you want to think about it is that there will be a form shadow on the torso, regardless whether it's on the skin or on the fabric. The fabric section of the form shadow will look darker than the skin section of the shadow, because the fabric is a darker pigment than the skin. So the combination of dark bra plus shadow makes that a darker area than the other side. The way I think about it is like this: anytime I look at a zone of the body I first ask myself is it light mass, or is it shadow mass? After that I ask what is the local value. Is it a light, middle, or dark? And the last question I answer is if it's a light mass that I'm dealing with, what kind of gradations do I see within it. If it's a shadow mass, what kind of dark accents do I see? I hope that clarifies it a little bit better. Feel free to ask more questions!! Happy drawing to you!
