The human body is beautiful and drawing it without practice can take a lot of work. Drawing the body, in particular the legs, requires a number of practice. A difficult body part to draw are the legs. Understanding how to draw leg begins with knowing the muscle groups and how to represent them in different parts of the body.
The three main groups of leg are quadriceps, adductors and gluteus maximus. All these groups of muscles are made up of several muscles and tendons. The quadriceps are the largest muscle group of the human body and can be seen on the front of the thigh. Adductors are located between the hip and knee and provide support to the hip and knee. Gluteus maximus is a stabilizer which is located above and behind the knee and helps balance the body.
There are many ways to visualize the muscles of the leg and each group of muscle has different ways of representing itself. The muscles of the leg are not necessarily in the exact same position in the drawing. They are usually positioned in different positions depending on the body position. When learning how to draw the legs, make sure to have your drawing done in different positions such as lying down, standing and sitting.
Drawing of legs can also be accomplished by using the lines and strokes you already know. The basic drawing of this area of the body can be achieved by using the straight and narrow strokes. Straight strokes are more useful for those who are used to drawing straight and narrow lines. You can also use curved strokes to create different shapes and shadows to help in visualizing the shape of the muscle groups. Curved strokes have been known to have a wider range of colors and can give you better shading.
There are many drawing software available for free online or at a local bookstore that you can download to learn how to draw the legs. These software programs can give you many great tips and techniques. Most of the software will also teach you how to use shading and how to combine multiple layers to help draw the leg area of the body in different ways.
There are also many different styles of sketching to choose from. The sketches may seem simple to some, but there are a lot of different angles and ways to depict the different aspects of the body to give you great detail. Some people draw the legs in a single line with the arms hanging down.
