Feet and Legs
Draw a triangle with
rounded sides, then a
straight line to represent
the leg. At this stage, make
three lines for the foot.Flesh out the leg and
foot. Draw verticals
up from the triangle to
make the leg. Then draw
from the triangle down
to make the foot. Block
in the line of the toes.Create the ankle joint,
then add the toes. Indicate
toenails.Ink the outline of the leg
and foot. Then ink the
ankle joint and the line of
the instep. Ink the toes
separately, then ink the
individual toenails.Color the leg and foot;
here a flat pale pink
was used.Then introduce shading
and modeling, using a dark
beige, on the left of the
leg, around the ankle, and
under the foot.From another angle, you can see how the toes are used to balance the weight of the
foot, and how the arch is used to direct the movement of the tread. The ankle here
is sharply defined with strong shadows.
