Drawing Legs

1. 

   Draw a base from which your legs will stem. This base could just be a block or an underwear-like base.

2. 

   Add two columns to the bottom of your base. Space these columns about half a centimeter apart.

3. 

   Add two half circles to the bottom of your columns. These half circles are your knees.

4. 

   Add two columns to the bottom portion of your half circles. These columns should start out wide, get wider toward the center, and taper at the end.

5. 

   Trace over your lines. Erase your guidelines. Indicate where your knees are.

6. 

   Shade however you like and add adornments if you wish.
