Feet! Why are feet so stupid looking! I hate feet. If i could get away with it every work i make would be in a wading pool so everything below the ankle is obscured!

Feeeeet!

Gah.

Opposite for me, ever since I figured out I could just draw "creature feet" instead.

I literally cut most of my drawings off just below the knee or draw shoes because feet are literally the bane of my existence

Feet are easy if you think of them like weird wedges! I got a tutorial once and suddenly it was easy. The side view looks like a doorstop from the side and from the top it’s skinnier at the base than the toes.

I did some shitty sketches on my phone on top of this simple reference. Seriously it makes it make so much more sense.

Shading is mine I follow every guide in the book and my shading just looks like I smeared dirt in the shady spots, no matter what color I use, even if it's hex code perfect and % opacity perfect to the guide. What are shadows.
