What would be a good geometric shape to use in a sketch to quickly define the shape of the legs? I think cylinders are too rudimentary. What do you use?

A cylinder with a boxy end plus a wedge shape for the adductors

Watch the first proko gesture vids. Look at how he simplifies legs with simple curves and straights.

Boxes because you can indicate rotation, tilt, and shadow faces. Cylinders are trash.

If you're sketching quicker then ovals that represent the general shape of upper and lower legs to nail the shape design of a pose, then figure out anatomy later.

I use modified cylinders, but I don't draw in the ellipses at the end. I just keep them in mind. I got this method from Steve Huston.

Yes, I know I screwed up the orientation of the left leg on the second drawing. Idc to fix it
