Some anime and manga characters run fast, dance, or fly. Others stomp angrily, march in an army, or walk slowly yet gain on the heroes they are pursuing.
One thing is for sure - no matter how they use their legs, your characters need them!
This anime female legs drawing will show you how to get your characters up and moving.
First, look again at the body proportions in the anime girl body base drawing. Often the legs of anime characters make up nearly half their total height.
In this drawing guide, we focus only on drawing anime girl's legs.
Are you ready? Below, you will find a step-by-step anime legs tutorial for beginners.
Step-by-Step Tutorial for Drawing Anime Female Legs
Anime Female Legs drawing - Step 1
1. Draw three equally spaced horizontal guidelines.

2. Draw a curved line passing through the top grid line and terminating at the middle line. Draw another curved line between these two grid lines.
Finally, draw a shorter curved line above the top grid line, and allow it to pass below it. This forms the basic outline of the girl's hips and the thigh of the nearer leg.

3. Extend the leg using long curved lines. Note the slight overlap just below the knee cap, as well as the short line that indicates the ankle.

4. Halfway between the two guidelines, band the leg with two curved lines. This is the top of the girl's sock or stocking.
Then, use a series of curved lines to draw the foot. The heel of the shoe should meet the lower guideline. Turn the front of the shoe upward to indicate motion. Contour the knee with short lines.
