Description yes yes its here. I did this and it came out a ton better then I though it would. Lets get started.

This is not much of a "how to" but rather tips. Take it or leave it that once you mass it togather may be a tutorial.

A) OK everyone feel down your ankle, that bump right there is somthing nice you can add to you drawing of the foot to really make it stand out. It really help ID wheer the foot begins.

B) Just like you would draw the knuckles on your hands do the same on the feet.

C) I always add a gap between the big toe and the others. Well look at your own feet.

D) your toes arnt just little balls at the edg of your foot they have joints too. Like verry verry stubby fingers.

E) I only bother putting a toe nail on the big toe because it clutters up the picture if you put them on all.

F) Show the bones leading up to the toes, but just a little.

G) There is the heel. Its big, its wide, and it goes back a little. Ya when your drawing them foot flat oon the ground from the side always remember the back of the foot goes back a bit.

H) ok here is where I think Im able to make feet look good. Its just like drawing a hand. When you draw a foot from the side fan out the toes. Take your hand and look at it from the side. Now fan out your fingers, dosent that look better? Even if you only fan em a little it add an incredable amount of depth.

I) Skin wrinkles, show it. Bolth the front and back.

J) dont forget to shade the indention in your foot where it goes in a bit. I know on a real foot its not verry noticable but it makes a draw foot look really good.

K)......... well...... oh where did I?..... You know what K sucks. Its not in my dictionary (maby thats why I spell so badly.) so I threw it out.

L) diagram of the bottom of the foot.

M) one of the hardest things to draw is a foot right on level. This is the best I can do.

Most fo what I told you can be boiled down to check it outon your own foot. Kinda imbarrising but just take a while to look at your foot.
