In this lecture we're gonna be learning how to draw feet.

So let's go ahead and begin.

So let's start with a view of a foot facing forward and it's just gonna be standing flat.

So what we want to do is just like the legs the inside of the foot is going to be kind of a straight

line like that and then we're gonna go ahead and draw out the basic shape for foot.

So the basic shape is going to be just straight line straight line across there.

And we're going to slowly kind of do a little curve out like that and then kind of turn this into a

little bit more of a boxy shape and we can go ahead and curve the bottom of this around then we can

go ahead and draw a curved line up here in the front.

And maybe we can break it up right there a little bit and bring that up into the side of the foot.

But that's the basic shape and then we kind of just turn that into the basic form.

All right.

So then let's go ahead and just draw two lines coming off just slightly angled.

That will be our leg just running up into the calf.

Now the first thing I want you to understand is the ankles so the ankles are kind of small little bumps

will protrude off the sides of the foot right up here in the ankle area.

But the thing is that they're not going to be at the same level on each side.

So they're actually angled downward so if you start from the inside of the foot or the inside leg they're

going to angle downwards like that.

So that means that one is going to be kind of up here so we'll just kind of draw a little bump like

that.

And another one is gonna be right down here like that.

All right.

Perfect.

Then we can go ahead and we can start working on things like the toes.

So I want to go ahead and start by kind of just blocking the end with an oval like that.

So there's my big toe then we'll do the next toe which will be a little bit smaller and a little bit

further down.

So this one is kind of up and that one's a little bit more down to another toe and another toe and then

the last.

So actually let's go ahead and make some of these toes just a little bit larger because I need to spread

all the way across here.

So make the big toe a little bit bigger.

Make the next step a little bit bigger

something like that

then we can kind of just add some lines in like this to represent sort of that space between each toe

gonna kind of angle this line in a little bit more and then back out.

There's gonna be a little bit of a bump right there as you can see and we're gonna see a little bit

more of this side of the foot.

Another thing we can do is we can kind of sketch out an oval here for the round ball part of the foot

and just use it kind of as a guide.

It's kind of like that

and we're gonna also get kind of a little bit of a bump right here on the side of the foot and we'll

go back in

we can go ahead and darken in some detail now we want the bottom of the toes to be pretty flat because

they're being squashed on the ground so they're gonna tend to be a little bit flatter on the bottom

and the pinky toe just kind of gets smushed back in their

and this ankle is actually probably two angled.

So what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna bring this ankle down or they're going to bring it down just

a little bit further like that.

That looks better.

So that was a little bit too angled.

We want it less angled than that

you know we can go ahead and add some toenails.

So at this view they're just going to have almost be like little half moon shapes like that.

Just sit right there at the top.

All right great.

So there's kind of a front view of a foot.

We could kind of shade that a little bit just send some more definition.

Perfect.

So then what if we want to draw a side view of the foot.

Well it's gonna be very similar so let's first start by breaking it down into simple shapes.

So we'll draw in the leg and that'll come down into kind of this triangular shape.

So it'll be kind of shaped like this

and let's make the leg actually just a little bit thinner.

So bring that line in a little bit.

And then what we're gonna get is back here and this point right there we're gonna turn it into more

of a round shape.

So we're gonna draw in the heel which should just be represented with kind of an oval like that and

then we want to do the ball of the foot which is the round part of the foot.

You could almost think of it as the palm of the foot if you're comparing it to the hand and then we

can go ahead and just kind of draw on a little oval there.

Kind of like just an oval and then we want to add the arch to the foot.

So between these two goals We want to go ahead and add a little bit of an arch just like that

then we also want to kind of make this a little bit more flat so we don't just want this to be a round

shape we want it to be kind of flat because the bottom of the foot kind of flattens out as it sits against

the ground and we go ahead and draw this line up into the leg drawn the shin.

And right here we're gonna get a little bit of a bump out.

So it's gonna kind of go down like this and then kind of go up a little bit and then back down to the

foot like that

and we can go ahead and do the toenail that and from this view we could probably actually see a few

other toes back here going back like that

that bump might be a little bit too big something to kind of soften that bump out a little bit more.

All right.

So there's a side view of the foot maybe that's a little bit too pointy right there.

So I kind of soften that out a little bit

right.

Great.

So then what if we wanted to draw a foot.

That's kind of standing on its toe.

Let's go ahead and let's try that.

So first we gonna start off by blocking out the shape.

So first we get kind of the heel right here and then from there we're gonna go ahead and draw the arch

of the foot but it's gonna be very arch because we're sending on our toes so the whole foot is going

to be kind of getting bent

to bulls or foot will be about their

we can just kind of start connecting this all together

all right then we can start breaking this up into the big toe.

So can I just start sketching that out here.

Can we get the next two

picture count and make sure you have five toes.

Let me get this line here just kind of showing the sort of the form and the twist of the foot

we could probably actually flatten these out just a little bit more actually.

These need to protrude out more slowly go ahead and reset because section not looking right the foot

needs to be a little bit longer than that.

So they need to actually kind of come out more to about out here that will look much better.

And drawn some toenails

so the bold the foot is actually more like right there.

Great.

So now you're probably not going to be really drawing the bottom of somebody's foot But just so you

have an understanding of the full form of the foot.

This is what the foot looks like from the bottom so up by the toes we have the ball of the foot and

towards the back we have the heel which is going to be kind of a smaller ball like that.

And then we want to go ahead and just kind of connect these together.

So it's going to go inwards right there and then outwards right there.

Same with on the other side.

Just like that we're gonna kind of get the shape.

So the big toe is gonna be out here and then it's gonna get smaller towards the pinky.

So it'll be something like here's a big toe.

There's next to the next one.

The next one and a little pinky right there.

All right.

So that's basically what the bottom over the foot looks like.

Now we're kind of just how you hope you have a better understanding of the full form of the foot.

And it's nice to know how to draw the toes and all that but really the main thing and you need to know

is how to draw the basic form because usually you're not going to be drawing characters of bare feet

they'll usually be wearing shoes or socks or something like that.

And so you really only need to know how to kind of draw this basic form.

So where you kind of start off

this form like that right.

You kind of have an understanding of the toes

and maybe the ankle

but that right there just that basic form.

That's what I mostly care about you understanding.

You don't really need to know how to need to know how to draw the toes and stuff like that but you do

need to know how to draw this basic form here so that you know how to put a shoe on that or sock or

whatever.

All right.

That brings us to the end of this lecture.

You have any questions go ahead and post them to the Q and A section of the course.

Thanks for watching and I'll see you guys in the next lecture.
