This sketch I really like. Partly because I really like feet. In high school, my friends used to say I had a foot fetish, but I honestly wouldn't go that far. I know a lot of people are totally grossed out by feet, but I think feet are beautiful. And so darn sturdy. Such hard workers that don't always get the admiration they deserve :).
I decided to sketch my feet today. Now, in my attempts at shading, I fear I may have sketched cave men feet. lol. My feet really aren't hairy (although some say I have hobbit feet), and while my medium of choice will mostly be charcoal pencils, I threw in some red to ... um... feminize these shaded things (my toenails are really red too).
I also have something called Morton's Syndrome where my second toes are the head honcho of the bunch. My Dad used to joke and say that it was a sign of royalty (I got it from him). I've said that straight-faced, and people have believed me. If you are also a second-toer... you might try it :).

Really like this one, simple and straightforward.
Yea, under-recognized feet! Lol
In Sri Lanka, there is a saying for head honcho second toes. To be fair, I don't remember it accurately but it goes something like this:
"If your second toe is the biggest, the female will be dominate in the marriage."
I hope a Sri Lankan doesn't read this and say I'm totally off.
That comment made me laugh out loud. How funny! That definitely is not the case with Blake and I, but I could see how that saying could get some laughs....
I think you might be the first person I've come across who actually likes feet! I had no idea there was a name for the longer second toe thing. My toes are the same way... My dad also told me it was because we were of royal decsent!
this is simply a great sketch. i can't draw feet at all. nice work.
ha...as i was reading your post, it caused me to glance down at my feet and i realized they were placed just like yours in the sketch and i'm currently sporting the red polish too ;) however, i will not attempt to sketch mine...lol they would be unrecognizable!
