How to draw a leg prt3

Here we are part 3 on 'How to draw the leg'. Let me just state one more time for those who have stumbled on to this, this is a basic understanding on the leg. I hope this helps you gain that one extra step to artistic greatness.
Now thats done lets start, from left to right.
As with the last two parts, we start with the basic leg shape. The leg no matter which side you look at has the slight 'S' shape running through it. I've added the hip box to this as it all joins. The hips themselves point forwards as if they are pointing away from the legs.
Next when blocking in your muscle mass, try and see the bulk of the top part of the leg (butt) coming down into the tendon like a fang towards the knee and just behind it. with the leg muscle that we can see, even tho I did it this way you could indicate it with an elongated oval if you wish. Then a smaller oval for the calf.
And finally you and muscle detail. I've done a simple muscled leg that you can reference, but some real anatomy books would be better. Ok that's the third nut shell on the leg, I really hope this was a help, let me know if it was or wasn't any feed back would be good.
And if it's asked for I can knock up something a bit more advanced, just let me know.
Keep practicing.
