The leg and foot is divided into three parts. The thigh,
leg and foot.
The bone of the thigh ( Femur) the largest bone in
the body is inserted into the center of the side of the pelvis.
The Femur rests on the Tibia or shinbone on the outside
of the Tibia is the Fibia it is lower on the foot. The Tibia
rests upon the Astragalus and the Oscalsis. The Patella
( knee cap) is above the level of the joint.
Muscles of the upper leg in front Rectus Femoris, Abductors,
Vastus Internus and Vastus Externus. On the back of the
upper leg there is the Semi tendinosus Semi Membranosus
and Bicep Femoris.
Muscles of the lower leg in front. Tibialis Anticus,
Peroneus Longus and Extensor Digitorium Longus.
Gastrocnemius and Soleus. The entire leg should have a
reverse curve.
The foot is like an arch bearing the weight of the body.
The inner side of the foot is above ground and the outside
flat. The front of the foot has three bone sections. The
Astragalus, the Metatarsals and the Phalanges ( the toes ).
The back part of the arch is called the oscalsis or the heel
bone. When learning to draw the foot, first reduce it to a
simple concept in position and then draw its structure.
