Lesson 52-56: The foot

After taking it easy for a week or so and just consolidating what had been learnt so far, I got back into it and started focusing on the foot. The foot in itself took about a week of practice to get used to. Like the pelvis, it was a funny looking thing and you will notice it is almost nothing like the foot bones of a human, it is instead a blocky foot. The squiggles in the middle were probably the most difficult to get down along with proportion but after I had done it enough times it began to stick a little better. A big problem early on was getting the proportion right when you didn't have a head handy to measure from. That entailed drawing the outline of the head first then making the measurements needed for the foot. I will admit the foot was a chore, there was nothing really simple about it and took a longish time to consolidate to memory but its now there in my head and as long as i draw will be there indefinitely (with luck).
