Subtitle: Now with 20% less art and 30% more words!

On a more serious note, this is my follow-up to my ridiculously (no, I'm serious, it's ridiculous) popular tutorial, How To Draw Unguligrade Bipeds (IE: Hoofed People), dealing more with bone structure and posing. (And a bonus on the structure of cloven hooves; I didn't include one on solid hooves because you can find solid hoof tutorials much more easily than cloven hoof ones.) I know I kind of crapped out towards the end, but that's mostly because I had no idea what to talk about anymore.

So, if there's something else you'd like me to add, just ask!

Another thing: in the process of finding information for this, I came across the blog of a sculptor; specifically, the post where he worked on a satyr's legs in one of his sculptures. It's here, and I highly recommend it, because he briefly goes into muscle anatomy and in general knows a great deal more about this than I do. Anyway, the sculpture is beautiful and definitely needs to be seen.

Thank you! I was pretty confident about the overall leg structure when drawing hoofed beasties, but something about the hooves themselves seemed off, and now I know what it was--I wasn't giving them enough toe leading up to the hoof. Derp.

Splendid reference!

Thanks for sharing both tuts, they're really informative, direct and helpful! I've always enjoyed the curious appearance of "hoofed people".:XD: I learned a lot and both of your tutorials were a joy to read.
Thanks again~:iconyea-plz:
