More from Ajna
If I had to make a list of the things I've seen people complain about most in my drawings, feet would be in the top 5.
However, I like the way I draw them sometimes, and it's been requested, so here is how I do it.
Let me start off by saying that you should study real life anatomy before looking at other peoples art when learning to draw. I am certainly not a good artist to learn from.
1. Rough out the basic shape. I like to use circles for joints and lines to connect them. The turquoise is a rough shape to give me an idea of what the leg will look like.
2. Realized the leg was too skinny for my taste, so I sketched in more detail, and thickened it up.
3. Toes. I see them as rounded triangles. VERY rounded. I like to make the outside small and the inside a tad bigger.
4. Ink it all up together.
5. Retractable claw lines. I like to darken the bottom of the toe to blend the line into it.
And there you go.
Note: There are retractable claws, but these feet aren't very cat-like. They're just generic feet that I draw. Again, if you want specifics, use photo refs. If you want generic Ajna feet, this is for you.

I honestly see no problem with your feet, Ajna, because I can't see your feet to have a problem with them. :P
But seriously, I don't see anything wrong with how you draw feet. Each artist has their own style and when it comes to drawing ficticious anthropomorphic characters just how much does anatomy really matter? There's no such thing as perfection, your art isn't being graded, and a lot of the time people like a little exageration in their character. Come on, it's fantasy. Art is an interpretation and expression of self, not a "who can be more precise and realistic" contest. I will admit that some basic anatomy knowledge is needed when drawing, but when it comes to minor details, does it really matter?
