Does anyone have a certain technique they use to map/plan out the length of the legs? I have a small problem, for example: if I want to draw a child, the legs turn out really wonky and if I want to draw a long legged girl, the legs turn out like thermometers. Anyone have a suggestion or reference they use? Also if anyone has any lower body techs and/or lower body real-life pictures with poses that would really help me out. I know the "real-life lower body pictures" sounds a bit strange and creepy, but a friend once told me that drawing from life really helps improve one's anatomy skill. ヽ(*・ω・)ﾉ So if you're comfy with doing leg poses pictures then that would help along with any refs!

I'd be more than happy to help if I had a camera tripod though my body's about 50% leg (I'm 6'01 and 2'10 of that is leg. I have long legs)

A tip I know of is that the thighs are always longer than the calfs. I hope that helps, even a bit! If you need websites for anatomy practice, I can link you to some!

I use a website called Quickposes, which is a wonderful website for gesture drawing! Nsfw warning though, it has nudity. When I'm having trouble drawing something, I focus on those things the most while doing gestures. That might help you as well!

Give me some poses and I'll give it a shot! (If you have to you could just draw stickman stuff for the legs) I just need basic poses such as fighter stances, side shots, cross legged (sitting on floor like criss cross applesauce ovo), and cross legged (like when you're chillin in a chair or something), kicking stances, and a perspective one with the foot kind of like in front of the camera kind of blocking the legs??? That last one might be a bit confusing, so below is a doodle. If you can do those, you'd really be helping me out!  Hahaaaaaa this is the wonkiest shit I've ever drawn omg |

I'll get to them as soon after work as I can! E: If you can handle my killer 'pit/leg hair, they're over here. |
