Legs and Feet
This is probably the easiest view of the foot to draw. It shows the angle of the heel
as it juts out from the leg, as well as the smooth curve of the instep leading down
to the toes. This foot is pointing down as if about to step, so the weight would be
on the ball of the foot.Start with a small oval shape
at the bottom. Then draw
a larger; rounded triangle
shape above it for the heel.
Draw a vertical line down
for the leg. Then connect the
two shapes with an arc, and
draw a short upward curve
for the toes.
Flesh out the leg
shape, working the
calf and then the foot.
Leave the line for the
toe at this point.Now, add the toes.
Start with the big toe;
then create smaller
curves for the rest of
the toes.Ink around the outline
of the leg, defining the
separate toes. Add a
nail to the big toe.Now add a flat tint
color over the whole
drawing. In this case,
pale pink was used.Create some model-
ing using dark beige.
There is shading down
the back of the leg,
around the ankle, and
under the foot.PROFILE FOOT
