Sculpting Feet

Sculpting feet can be difficult and intimidating, the best advice I can give is to take your time, study the hand, and practice. You won't sculpt a perfect foot (or anythign else) the first time or even the second, it takes practice and time to learn.

How to Draw Feet

Drawing, especially from life, helps improve your sculpting abilities. Practice drawing feet, especially anatomy studies. It will help you cement the knowledge in your brain. Plus drawing can be done anywhere, bring a sketch pad with you any place you expect to wait a while and practice sketching. I do this all the time at the doctor's office or the dentist's.
