Description This is not a TUTORIAL...thing. Please don't nitpick.

On of my 'artistic-pet-peeves' is how a majority of the art community proclaim "I suck at drawing this or that", and just...don't do anything about it. D:

What you see here is pretty much me admitting that I am still not that confident at drawing feet, so what did I do? I STUDIED THEM. Google, Bing, Wiki and staring at my own feet for reference. Still have a lot to learn, but I am taking the steps to try at least! Drawing anthros for the past 10yrs definitely makes this hard. Mostly in the fact that I tend to naturally draw short/stumpy human toes.

Critique welcome; please be gentle. :'c

If you want a specific reference site, try posemaniacs, they have a rotatable cgi figure in various positions, both genders for some some of the the poses, all to be a reference.

Cheers and good luck with improving!

I rally enjoy that you did this. I also hate that people whine whithout practice. It makes me a hypocrit sometimes, but right now Im working on like four knitting projects, to better my knitting. Im about to start doing a "Draw every type of a certain Charachter" Type thing for myself so that I keep trying to improve my drawing/coloring/sketching Skills. (Especially w/ PS. I suck bad at PS, and can never seem to learn enough, lol)

This, whether up to your par or not, is still a great reference for artist with a level of skill close to mine, I know its not supposed to be a reference, but there are details in here which help me, that you have already found. :]

Anyways, Good point, Nice Pic, and best of luck!

these are actually pretty good :3
i should study how to draw humans in the first place
(chibies ain't counted as humans )
and stareing at your own feet is actually the best way to learn
(i usually stared at my hands and legs)
