Description People on this site keep pushing the whole "draw different body types" thing. But from what I've seen, what they really mean is "draw overweight characters so I feel better about myself." Weight is only a portion of shape. Basic bone structure is another that many seem to forget about. So here are three different leg types we see in the everyday. I tried to keep them all about the same weight/muscle class so you can more easily see the differences.
Standard (this is just teh term I use): knees and feet touch at the same time.
Bow legged: feet meet before the knees.
Knock kneed: knees touch before the feet.

And there are variances and degrees of each type.

Just something I noticed while looking at legs...
I'm thinking of possibly doing another one of these about different rib cages next time.

ARMS! I cannot draw decent arms to save my life. Most of my drawings don't even have arms. Hands would be nice, too.
