Course content

1 section17 lectures8h 24m total length
  • Introduction5:19

    Learn leg anatomy through sculpting and drawing, tracing bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons with reference files and 3D scans. Build skill in Blender sculpting from scratch, including knee bending.

  • Main shapes of the leg20:45

    discover the main leg shapes by identifying pelvis and bones like the femur, tibia, fibula, and patella, then build front and side views with the base widest at the top.

  • Overall leg shapes in 3D26:19

    Block the leg in 3d from a sphere, mirror it for both legs, and sculpt the front and side using bones, quadriceps, sartorius, hamstrings, calves, and the knee region.

  • Feet and more29:51

    Explore the anatomy of the feet and ankles, including bones, tendons, and muscles like the tibialis anterior, soleus, and gastrocnemius, with hands-on sculpting tips for realistic feet and toes.

  • Muscles of the leg P0125:19

    Identify and sculpt leg muscles from front and side views, including gluteus medius, tensor fasciae latae, quadriceps, hamstrings, sartorius, and the iliotibial band, with focus on bones and tendons.

  • Muscles of the leg P0228:55

    Explore leg anatomy by detailing the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, and supporting structures like the iliotibial band and sartorius, with emphasis on tendons, knee, and front leg shapes.

  • Muscles of the leg p0331:33

    Explore the leg’s major muscles and key structures—quadriceps, sartorius, hamstrings, calf muscles (gastrocnemius, soleus), iliotibial band, and knee anatomy—through sculpting-friendly planes and foot basics.

  • Planes of the leg35:08

    Master planes of the leg using Asaro body planes in Blender, build a simplified base leg, then refine with muscles and plane details.

  • Foot anatomy33:48

    Shape a solid foot base, flatten the bottom, define fat pads and ankle, and emphasize the big toe, pinky tuck, and tendons for sculpting in Blender.

  • Bridgeman leg47:40

    Explore Bridgeman’s leg anatomy through constructive sketches, focusing on key landmarks like the knee, patella, greater trochanter, tibia and fibula, and major muscles from sartorius to the iliotibial band.

  • Female leg38:48

    Explore female leg anatomy and its differences from the male, highlighting pelvic tilt, hip width, smooth curves, muscles like tensor fasciae latae, sartorius, and hamstrings, and high heels shaping silhouette.

  • Normal leg48:55

    Explore the anatomy of a normal leg by identifying major muscles, tendons, and landmarks like the iliotibial band and patella, while discussing proportions and practical tips for realistic leg modeling.

  • Super muscular leg48:11

    Examine how a super muscular leg keeps a normal knee structure while the quadriceps, sartorius, and gastrocnemius enlarge, with the iliotibial band, soleus, and tibialis anterior shaping its form.

  • Stylized female leg24:24

    Develop a stylized female leg using smooth, flowing shapes, emphasizing knee placement, the sartorius and tensor fasciae latae regions, and front-view ankle thinness for cohesive anatomy.

  • Stylized male leg25:52

    Explore stylized male leg anatomy through practical sculpting tips: shaping the quadriceps, hamstrings, sartorius, calves, and knees, using reference from anatomy for sculptors and the planes of the leg.

  • Bent leg30:32

    Explore the bent leg anatomy, detailing the knee region with patella, tibia, and femur, and sculpt the quads, hamstrings, tibialis anterior, calves, and the iliotibial band with guided references.

  • Goodbye3:27

    Explore leg and foot anatomy through muscles, planes, and bent-leg changes, with Bridgman references and both male and female forms, plus guidance on analyzing references.

Requirements

  • No previous experience required

Description

When you try to draw or sculpt legs, do you feel like you have skipped leg day?

Then maybe i will be able to help you here.

This course is leg day after leg day, crammed together.

So at the end you will feel much more comfortable drawing or sculpting legs.


My name is Nikolay Naydenov and have been 3D character artist since 2010. I have 15 years of experience in the game indrustry and also have two youtube channels - Speedchar and Speedchar live, where you can learn about sculpting, Blender, Zbrush and anatomy.

I like to thank  Anatomy for Sculptors for their book, which is just the best for studying human anatomy.


In the course we will go trough the main shapes of the legs, then we will put the diffrent muscle groups over the leg bones to make a leg from muscles. Then it will be time for planes of the leg, to understand the shapes better by simplification.

After we will dive a bit more into foot anatomy by sculpting and talking about the foot shapes and forms. Bridgeman leg will be next, followed by female leg. The normal male leg and super muscular leg will be done before we go to the stylized female and stylized male leg. At the end we will do a bent leg, to see how the shapes and forms change.


The course is done mostly in Blender by 3D sculpting, because that is the way to see the forms and shapes from all sides, but you can do the course with pen and paper, digital drawing or sculpting.


If you also want to sculpt in Blender, but you don't know how, you can check my Absolute begnners Blender course.


Let every day whith this course be a leg day for you!

Who this course is for:

  • Whoever wnat so develop their anatomy of the leg and foot more deeply
