Structure of the foot
In general (not only the foot but the leg as well), you can start form drawing the skeleton to the muscels and add skin at the end. This is indeed a good practice to understand how the human body is built. But it is no secret that this is difficult and takes a lot of time, so to make it simple, I usually break everything down into shapes and add more detail latter.
Now let me give you a brief overview of the anatomy of a foot. As said before I start with breaking the object down into simple shapes. Starting on the back, you have the heel (red), here with a triangle like shape going a bit outside. It takes of around 1/4 of the size of the foot. Make sure the heel isn’t in line with the lower leg and has a curve going outside!
The yellow ball here replaces the ankle. Cause it is a joint I drew it in a round shape to show the flexible movements it can make. The ankle is also responsible for the little hill on the outer side of the foot.
The green middle part is going down form the ankle to the beginning of the toes. This is the largest part of the foot, taking around 1/2 of the space. Here you must keep in mind that the instep doesn’t reach the ground, it is a little bit above. It is best seen viewed from below.
And lastly in violet the toes, here I just imagen a smaller version of the middle part (around 1/4 of the foot), with the DIFFERENCE all of toes are touching the ground. In the next picture I will elaborate a bit more on the toes, so I stop at this point.
Now putting all these shapes together, you have a foot! Congratulations!!
As for the toes, I know they can be a bit difficult to draw but don’t worry. If you want to draw a side-front-view just imagen the toes as stairs going up. Only the big toe has a unique shape which means you can try drawing it like some flat stairs and really round them out. Try to imagen it in 3D boxes so that you can apply this to any perspective.
Form a view belove, you can see that it has a U like shape with either the big toe or the second toe being the longest. On a side note, here you can also see how the instep doesn’t reach’s the ground.
A general tip to make your feet look naturel is to add some Asymmetrical into its structure because nothing in real life is perfect. You could do that by raising the inside step line (blue), which is placed under the end of the lower leg bone. The direction it is heading in depends on the position the foot is in, but a general tip is that it raises on the inside of the foot and goes down on the outside.
This is a part where you can play a little bit around and maybe exaggerated it, you just need to see if it suits your taste in shape language. In my opinion a 1:1 similar looking foot will just look wrong for the brain.
Structure of the leg
Moving on to the leg, it cover up half of the body. To draw a full leg, I break it down in 3 shapes: the thigh, the knee, and the lower leg (and of course the feet). To start I would draw a straight line and make a mark in the middle (for the knee), because we have a 1:1 ration between the thigh and the lower leg.
After drawing the straight line, I would add 2 cylinders for the tight and the lower leg and a ball for the knee (and the ankle). The great thing about such simple shapes is that you could easily imagen them in any perspective (but latter more). Now you can try making your first leg pose!!
Looking frontal at the leg: On the outside we have two curves, one going out form the thigh and the other from the lower leg. On the inside the upper thigh, the knee and a little bit of the lower leg sticks out. From a side view you have a curve going out form the thigh and on the back of the thigh it is a straight line, except the butt. On the lower leg it is the exact opposite.
To understand the curves better let’s take a look at the muscle drawing I made:
- GREEN the Vastus medial: on the upper inner thigh. it bounds out until it almost reaches the kneecap.
- YELLOW the vastus medialis; it attaches along the femur and down to the inner border of the kneecap.
- PINK the vatus intermedius and the rectus femoris: the look like one muscle being attached to the kneecap in the middle of the leg.
- other YELLOW the semimembranosus; it extends the thigh and flexes the knee. It is not always visible.
-BLUE the Soleus: this muscle exitance from the back of the knee to the heel. It´s important for standing and walking.
- RED the gastrocnemius; connect from the knee to the foot. It is placed in front of the leg.
If you can keep the direction, they are heading in in mind, it will be easier to draw the line art latter.
The hip has the pelvic Bone (A) creating the upper curve and the tight bone there to make a second curve(B). You can either draw them round or sharp as seen in the two examples. The second hill that is created is so called hip dips.
Moving on to the last part of the leg. The knees consist out of the thigh bone, the 2 lower leg bones ant the kneecap on top. The wrinkles here are because everyone kneecap looks different and is not an even upper. Again, try to not make it Asymmetrical.
The kneecap works like a tilted scare. The upper side point inside and the lower side outside. So, you can tell the difference and say from which side the leg is. (Mirrored on each side)
Putting it in Perspective
Now to draw legs in perspective, remember the cylinders and the balls from the structure part. Those simple shapes are easy to imagen in every perspective. You can start practice with the shapes and add the details latter.
To perspective rules are important for drawing legs in perspective:
1. Know where your vanishing point is paced. This is the point were all the red lines are heading in. And from that point about are al the shapes defined. I practiced that here with the cylinders because a ball will look in each perspective the same.
2. The rule of overlapping is the next important factor to keep in mind. It is quite simple, ever thing that is near to the viewer covers the other thing behind it, if it is in the same eye line as the other.
Speaking of eyelines those have a huge impact on the perspective as well. In the example you can see one, and how the boxes will be viewed from this line’s perspective. To create this, I used the perspective ruler that has CSP pre-installed.
