Top 5 Mistakes In Gesture Drawing

Top 5 Gesture Drawing Mistakes – Video Tutorial

Learn from 8 years of life drawing room experience as I walk you through the five most common gesture drawing mistakes artists make. Mistakes I've seen (and made!) countless times myself.

This tutorial tackles the technical traps that can slow your progress, including:

• Wrong materials and paper sizes
• Over-dark outlines that kill energy
• Noodle limbs with no structure
• Incomplete figures from rushed sketches
• Copying instead of truly observing

The best part? These are fixable technical habits, not talent issues and they might just be the key to unlocking faster growth and more expressive figure work.

Whether you're a beginner or seasoned sketcher, this video offers reassurance, insight, and practical advice to help you work smarter and sketch with confidence.
