feet...

It keeps amazing me how people who walk barefoot nearly half their life, still seem to be so bad at drawing feet. Everything else is well-drown, but the feet are always terrible. 'Part from that, this is very silly/funny. Especially the 2 mangaka at the start

    Oh my G*D I love this comment so much. You're not wrong. At all. I'm laughing.

    Thanks {blush} (I did want to write "well-drawn" though, not drown, oops!) But seriously, feet are hard, for someone with plenty talent, but no time nor energy nor the good sense to pay attention to things such as anatomy... Still, how can they not see it? Or the editors?
    Those feet, sometimes! ┗( T﹏T )┛Maybe all Japanese mangaka are too busy having sex with each other to do any anatomy practice, like the 2 in the first story? ha ha ha

    I'm terrible at drawing hands and I use them everyday. Lol. I wonder if there are any tricks to getting hands and feet right each time. Faces are easy as hell because they are symmetrical and evenly spaced; like the space between your eyes is an eye's width.
    Wouldn't sex perfect their knowledge of antonomy? By the third time, you should know your partner's body from head to toe, unless they aren't into that freaky stuff -smirk-

    Haha, I hardly think they're paying attention to feet much during sex, more at other body parts... but seriously, you're right about hands & feet. I always say: good drawing isn't in the fingers, it's in the eyes! I mean you have to LOOK at what you want to draw. 1 free trick for you kids: get yourself a big mirror, not to fix your make-up, no, as a help to draw. Put one hand in the position you want, take your pencil in your other and draw what you see in the mirror. Every single detail, y'hear? Don't leave anything out. For feet, you need to put your mirror on the floor like the ones in shoe shops, to see how new shoes fit. You know? Well, do that in your room and start drawing your feet while standing there. Take all sorts of positions and think about how a foot is made. Do it lots of times, and gradually you'll know how to do it without a model.
