How to Draw Feet on a Cartoon Character

Video Transcript

"Hi, I am Danny Page and I am here on behalf of Expert Village. In this series I am going to teach you how to draw basic cartoon characters. Ok, so we are going to finish up the lower half of our character here. Now, obviously there are a lot of different options when it comes to feet in general. You can give him bare toes if you wanted to. You can give him, you know, black shoes and that, to me, is a lot of times a cop out when it comes to people who don't want to go into detail when it comes to their shoes. Or, in our case, you can give him tennis shoes which basically we are going to do here. Just basically get the general shape first and now we are going to need to apply a little perspective. So, obviously this looks like nothing right now. It looks just like two little lumps there. And, I guess you know some people can get away with something like that. And, hopefully, the rest of their character looks interesting enough most people won't notice. You're gonna want to try and make every little part of him as detailed as possible. So, we are going to give this little guy, the audience, rather, a little bit of perspective here just bringing what could be laces or the tops of the shoes from over the foot's little horizon there. See, like you're just kind of giving it those little lines right there helps us to see sort of the direction that the foot is pointed in and it helps the shoe take on some shape in almost like a third dimension of it's own. So, when you look at the whole drawing from the pants down to the feet, it just looks a little bit more complete now. And, that is shoes."
