This drawing, as well as several more side leg sketches below, demonstrate the very important line separating quads from hamstrings, that runs from the trochanter to alongside the patella on the outside, and joins the shin bone. Locating this line helps to place everything properly, as it separates front muscle groups from back. Similar to the importance of finding the sartorial line along the inside of the leg. Once you've properly placed these landmarks the rest falls into place much better.
This is a personal journal documenting my studies in art - mainly just a place to keep notes and to organize my thoughts better than I could in a handwritten journal (you can't do a search in a paper journal, or post live links). My ultimate goal is oil painting, but I want to start with developing my grasp of the basics in drawing.
