4.3 How to Draw the Hips and Limbs

A running quadruped has four legs, each made of four linked parts. They all work together to make the animal move, and this makes it really difficult when it comes to drawing them in perspective. In this lesson, you'll learn a method that will let you manage the rotation of the limbs in a simple way.

Monika Zagrobelna

I'm a Polish artist with a great passion for creating new things—whether by drawing, digital painting, or photo manipulation. I have 10+ years of experience in using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, both for graphic design and for creating unique works of art as well. I hold a degree in graphic design, but nowadays I work as a freelance illustrator and a tutorial author. I specialize in creating realistic art, especially of animals, and I'm good at designing imaginary creatures in a realistic way. I'm a big fan of dragons and feline creatures! Because I learn the best by teaching, and I love sharing my skills with others, in my free time I like to create educational posts on my own blog. I also share the behind-the-scenes of my art on my Instagram. I consider myself an unofficial ambassador of Sketchbook Pro, a seriously underrated program for digital art, which I use every day in my work.
