Feet can be tricky to draw, yet they're necessary for full-body portraits and paintings. Although difficult, mastering drawing feet can be done in a few easy steps!

Method 1

Method 1 of 3:

Drawing a Foot From the Front

1
Draw a circle
2
Draw a line approximately 1.5 times the circle's diameter, from the bottom and upwards through its center. The length of the line affects the angle of the view of the foot.

3
Draw a triangle with two sides touching the circle and intersecting with the line's tip at the top. The distance of the triangle's base may depend on how big you want the toes to look.
4
Draw five circles or ovals across the base of the triangle for toes. You might want to vary the sizes as toes have different sizes.
5
Draw two ovals overlapping the circle towards the center line. The ovals' sizes should not be more than around half compared to that of the circle's and one oval should be higher than the other.
6
Draw the final outline of the foot and erase guide lines.
7
Draw toenails or any other details you'd want for your foot.

First, use your protractor and draw a 30 degree angle. Then, draw the human feet on top of the angle and erase the 30 degree angle carefully.
