What's in Premium?

In this lesson, you'll learn quick ways to indicate feet and their positioning in gesture drawing. We focus on using basic shapes—like triangles—to represent feet from different views: front, three-quarter, profile, and back. You'll see how adjusting these shapes can capture various gestures, such as taking a step or shifting weight.

We'll cover how to include essential anatomical details like ankle bones and the arches of the foot to add a natural feel to your drawings. Understanding the proportions of the foot compared to the hand will help you draw feet accurately and maintain the figure's balance.

By simplifying feet into four or five lines, you'll ensure your figures are grounded, and their feet effectively convey perspective and placement on the ground plane.
