I’ve been trying to improve my anatomical drawing recently (let’s face it, we’re all always trying to improve something) and I’ve come to the realisation that I can’t draw feet for shit. I think I’ve gotten into a lazy habit of just chucking down a blob with five little blobs on it and thinking it’ll do.. but in fact feet are tricky little bastards. They have all manner of weird curves and humps and other crap that you can only see from certain angles, and without a collection of photos of feet from every possible angle it’s really difficult to visualise how to draw them.
So.. does anyone have any advice or maybe a huge resource of feet photos they care to share with me? How do you guys tackle this fun little body part?

I’m afraid I chop them off or add some fabulous shoes lol- If the odd foot appears its usually a happy accident or rather cartoony :) Happy “foot practice”- I guess practice makes perfect on everything & I’m sure you’ll get them nailed.

Well this is not what I call huge but I guess it gives you at least the basics.

I also have a book that I use as reference since it’s pretty descriptive and gives you some very good notions of anatomic drawing : “Dynamic Figure Drawing” Burne Hogarth hope that helps.
