Todd’s Tips for Drawing Muscular Legs!

April 09, 2018

Here’s a TODD TIP with my THREE main tips for drawing (muscular) legs.

1. MUSCLES = TEAR DROPS. As you can see in the photo (the middle leg) all the muscles are shaped like tear drops. Once you really get the feel for drawing the tear drops (muscles) and connecting them, you can draw your legs pretty quickly.

2. DIFFERENT MUSCLE HEIGHTS. Another key to making your legs look realistic is to make sure that the muscle on the inside of your leg is LOWER than the outside muscle. I am referring to the two dots on the image. This will help ensure that your legs don’t turn out like bowling pins. Not that there’s anything WRONG with bowling-pin (or chicken legs)… but we’re talking about drawing MUSCULAR legs… so bare with me!

3. THE LAZY ‘M.’ One last QUICK tip for legs… if you’re looking for something a little more simple…. think of the ‘inside’ of the leg as a straight line and the outside of the leg a ‘lazy M’ shape as demonstrated on the pair of legs on the left side of the photo.10818219_892967390747344_5827831062527361102_o

So now that you know what to do…it’s time to GET DRAWING!

Be good.
