Anthro leg gestures

From my previous post, here are a few ideas on gestures when it comes to the anthro legs. Firstly I look to draw the curves they create. I've posted before about the elastic energy that digitigrade and ungiligate legs reserve whilst walking, this is effectively why they are configured the way that they are. So simplify this to curves as if the legs were bamboo, bending, curving under strain. So long as you remember that with any stance, the ball of the foot/paw/hoof needs to be in contact with the ground under the bodies center of gravity. Keeping that in mind will help you create that curve and make your characters look more grounded.

  1. But as always a point to keep in mind is how these legs are kept in a bent position while standing still upright, whether muscle tone is required and if that would be too much strain if left standing for a while. Its why horses need the locking patella and stay apparatus.
