Leg day challenge

[Anonymous No.3529455]

If you’re like me, then legs are a hurdle for learning human anatomy. Post your drawings of legs below and let’s share and critique. The leg day challenge is all about not avoiding full body anatomy, and practising all aspects of the human body. Beginners and experts all welcome. Share even if you do t like it and know it’s wrong, maybe you can revive tips. Sorry for file size, posting from my phone.

I happen to be a retard on this topic. Alright, let's do it. I was just doing arms last night and this morning.

also those knees?

[Anonymous No.3529560]

I was just studying legs actually, knees specifically, and practicing rendering them. I need to redo them in photoshop

In all fairness knees are hard dude. They're like the hands of the leg, and then you still have the feet-which are much like a third pair of hands-to contend with.

>that tfw feeling when even while you're looking straight at them in a high resolution photograph you don't know what the hell is going on with them

They're much more straight forward in an anatomical illustration than they are in the real world aren't they?

I thought it was pretty good too. I don't really play games often anymore, but I still enjoy a lot of the music I come across one way or another.

The more I look at them the weirder they get and the worse I get at portraying them. I'm starting to realize why I abandoned all hope of figuring these devil stilts out long ago.

Care to join us anon? I'm becoming worried this thread is going to become my own personal cringe compilation.

Probably going to tone down the spam and let other people contribute if they want in either case.

You might wanna try rotating your foot.

Why you connect rectus femoris to asis? It connects to aiis.

You're right, I misconstrued the reference image.

It'a a common thing to get wrong and is also depicted incorrectly or unclear quite often.

Can't get myself to do proper studies, but this is how I've simplified knees for myself so far.

[Anonymous No.3533812]

What's the best basic shape to work with to construct the leg? A box? A cylinder? series of pyramids?

[Anonymous No.3533849]

Started doing some hip and leg studies last month before I go on to Bargue plates. Figured I'd post em here. Have some more, but they're at home.

[Anonymous No.3533914]

>>3533812
Cylinder is the best

I actually really enjoy Hogarth's style but I feel like, in much the same way that Bridgman is loose (often to the extent the viewer in many cases might find themselves lost and in need of a guide), Hogarth is rigid (as opposed to "stiff") to the point where he's creating these constructive, almost surrealist H.R. Giger-esque interpretations of the human figure and its extremities.

It's pretty fun stuff to try and draw in either case.

It seems like only yesterday that threads would last almost a week before being archived; I'm surprised things haven't slowed down considerably what with the competition from Discord.

Diggin those knees my dude

[/loomis/ No.3535709]

>>3535654
Th-thanks... Looking back at the reference I definitely screwed up the form on the knees in that middle one just a bit though

>>3535622
Does the iliotibial band not form relief on the surface forms of the body? I noticed right away that Hogarth never draws it. I don't mind having a clearer picture of the biceps femoris and vastus lateralis-but not at the expense of overall accuracy I guess.

(though if I really wanted true to life accuracy I probably wouldn't be pulling from Hogarth's Bizarre Anatomy to begin with, would I?)

I hope you're working those quads lads. You don't have to post, but I'm going to keep this thread alive for at least a little while longer to remind you nonetheless.

oof!

Does anyone know if there's a way to rotate models in sketchfab perfectly horizontally? I think I'm throwing myself off a bit from using the mouse or stylus and having the model tilt slightly in the transition from one pose to the next.

Probably should have made a .gif of this one-if not all of them-instead of a big fat image. Might do it again for the hell of it. I got done with this an hour or two ago but I'm posting now before I go to bed. Pretty productive day overall. If I'd have been able to keep this sort of pace going for any extended period of time maybe my work would be a little less shitty by now. Anyway, time for sleep!

Man, you guys are on a whole other level, it’s almost disheartening. I realize now I’m not really learning the anatomy by simplifying just the outline, since all I can do is outline and no shade.

I've studied feet before and had the impression that I understood how the structure works out and was also quite happy with the way I was drawing them. But looking at those pics made me realize how the transition from the metatarsals to toes actually works and how that influences the shape of the foot in various states of flexion. I feel kinda dumb.
