Feet
Feet deserve as much attention as hands in drawing to portray character,
emotion, or expression. Each foot is basically a wedge hinged to a small
block or cylinders (toes). The foot moves easily from side-to-side because of
the way the foot hinges to the ankle. Reduce the foot to basic shapes to draw
the shape in correct proportion and position. Exaggerate and detail the feet
and toes. Outlandish feet can lend a great deal of humor to a cartoon.
Figure 4-28 shows how humorous feet appear.
