Failure Is A Foot
I decided to do a study of my anatomical arch nemesis – the foot. My understanding of the way a foot works beneath the skin is pretty limited, so it came out less structured than I would have liked. There is a bit of blobbiness going on. That’s the point in practicing though, right?

The way I first experienced this picture was in quickly scanning your site. I wasn’t really paying attention to the words and, as I was scrolling down the page, didn’t realize this was a sketch of a foot until I reached the ankle and toes. As such, when I looked at in its entirety, I noticed the blurriness of the toes and how the leg at the top of the sketch is smudged. It’s as if the foot doesn’t quite know it’s a foot. There’s a beautiful uncertainty to it, which was explained when I finally read your description of what you were trying to accomplish.
as canvas art goes, this is great. your delicate brushwork is really complimentary to this study. like hands, feet are incedibly complex structures to recreate. I have closely examined your study and simply love how you have worked the toes and the weight distribution in that area. well done !!
