DRAWING MANGA GIRLS
Here is a good view of the foot as it kicks out behind a figure in a sharp arc. It could
be delivering a blow from a martial artist or be the trailing foot of a diving or flying
figure. Note how the foot is pulled back sharply, forming a smooth, continuous line
from the leg.Draw a triangle with
rounded edges to
represent the heel
joint. Bisect this with a
straight line for the foot,
and a slightly curved
one for the toe line.Flesh out the basic shape
of the leg and foot.Now add the toes,
with toenails. Indicate
the ankle joint by
drawing a small
triangle.Ink the main lines
of the sketch. This
includes the leg, heel,
ankle joint, toes, and
toenails. Suggest the
line of the instep.Color your sketch.
Here, a flat pale pink
was used.Use a dark beige to
get some shading and
modeling into your
foot. There is shading
on the left-hand side
of the leg and foot,
and across the toes.kICkIN g OUT
