tutorial for drawing a cat's hind legs?
sure!
so the first thing you should know is that, in essence, a cat’s haunches are a trapezoid
a mistake i see a lot of young artists do is making the infamous “circle” haunches, with the heel being way too high. cats have very low heels and the hind leg will never be straight down like that
another mistake i see a lot is what i like to call the “dinosaur leg”, where the leg will be in 3 distinct parts. going off of a cat skeleton you might think that this is correct, but cats have very large and strong muscles in their hind legs which allow them to jump and run and climb and do cat things
cats have butts!! and butt muscles!! draw them!!
there are different ways to draw the legs too! i’ve used the “joint” method before where you draw the joints and then draw the rest of the leg, similar to the way they teach you in school
