Big Cat Paw and Leg Tutorialby *TamberElla

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Other

This was based mostly off of lions, but can be applied to most big cats with minor changes!

Hopefully this might help a few people? Haha

I've struggled with paws and legs before, so I made this for anyone who is currently struggling CX
Don't depend on just this too heavily though, these are just sketches! Look up photos and bone structures for detailed reference!

_{I really, really suggest just taking a few hours and looking up references and drawing paws from photos and other artists! (dont upload without permission from the artists/photographers, just for practice!)
Honestly, it helps a ton! CX
I would use photos over drawings though, because artists are bound to make mistakes, and copying other people's mistakes won't help you xD;

For example, The Lion King really simplified the paws and left out some pads, which led to a lot of artists leaving the same details out. Which is fine of course, for stylizing, but if you're going for realism or semi-realism, you should be sure to draw it correctly C:}
