How to Draw legs
Lower Limbs/Legs are comprised of two major parts; the
thigh (where the quadriceps and hamstrings are located)
and the calves. The thigh is longer than the calf and
the calf muscles extend from just behind the knee to the
Achilles heel. The knee is a rounded joint that adjoins
these two parts.
Women's lower limbs narrow as they approach the knee and
the ankle. In comparison to a male's lower limbs, the
knee should only stand out slightly. Although leg
muscles are understated in women, calf muscles will be
more pronounced when subject is wearing high heals.
Exercise: Carefully recreate the following nude contour
sketch placing special attention to the location of the
spine and line of the hips and shoulders.
