How to Draw Female Anime Legs Tutorial
Draw Female Anime Legs – This tutorial explains how to draw female anime legs with step-by-step proportions and shape separation of front and side views.
The legs in the most common anime and manga styles are usually painted the same as the real legs.
In this tutorial, we will be using an example of a realistic and very common style of women’s anime legs.
Step 1 – Female Anime & Manga Leg Proportions
As already mentioned, the standard anime-style ratings and manga legs are very similar to real legs.
Normally the area of the legs from the upper part of the body below the knee will be as long as the area from below the knees to the bottom of the feet.
Please note that the above example assumes an important point: the back leg in the side viewing model is shorter than the front leg, and why the bottom line of the legs is slightly above the toes in the front view.
Step 2 – Basic Leg Shape
Forward look at the legs like a curve in the center of the body and then turn inwards and backward inwards through the knees.
On the side, look at the legs turning backward and forwards from the knees to the floor.
Step 3 – Normal Leg Curves
Female legs are usually a set of smooth curves (especially in anime and fictional style).
Although different anime characters may have different-looking legs (thin, thick, muscular, etc …), you can use the image above as an example of typical leg curves.
Step 4 – Drawing Legs With Small Details
Keeping all the measurements and curves in mind, you can draw the outer shape of the legs and add small details such as hints of the knees and ankle bones.
When drawing on paper, make sure you draw simple lines first and then sketch your drawing with black lines if you feel you have the right dimensions.
Conclusion
This tutorial combines the basic shapes and proportions of the legs of the anime style with the manga style. As already mentioned, anime legs are often similar to real legs. This means that in case you need an extra reference to draw legs somewhere, you can always look at some real photos.
