Although I have to say that my previous attempt almost looked more like the guy... I guess it makes sense because I tried copying him exactly back then, whereas this time I mostly went on my own and only checked the reference for posing and some minor details, like the ear shape.

On another note, I actually have a really cool idea for a drawing that I want to do soon, but for that I need some more supplies namely, larger paper. It'll be a bigger thing, so I'm saving it up, though that means I need to fill the time until then with other drawings. Drawings that won't require me to expand the scope of the big drawing... you'll see soon, I hope.

altText="Pencil sketches. In the top left are two pairs of legs with socks, one facing straight, the other from a side view and with one foot up on a box. Below those are two more pairs of legs with visible construction lines. One of those is wearing green socks, the other one has solid lines drawn using a black fineliner. To the right is a drawing of Clank from Ratchet & Clank. It's a view of his back as he is walking away. Above him is the text: (triangle button) Send Clank to the Underground Caverns."
subtitle="giving my characters the ability to run away, one sketch at a time"

So I played Ratchet & Clank 3 earlier, and on Qwark's Hideout, you're prompted to "Send Clank to the Underground Caverns". I thought this sounded really funny, so I tried sketching a sad-looking Clank walking away. For this, I used a still from the final cutscene of Ratchet & Clank (2002) where he walks away with a broken arm. I ended up drawing his torso way too long, but oh well.
I also noticed that Insomniac gave Clank a unique walking animation that really shows that he's a mechanical robot and not a squishie. He pretty much lifts one foot at a time while keeping them level to the ground, not rolling his feet as there is no flexible part to roll. In theory that kind of animation is to be expected, especially of Insomniac, but I had just never noticed that before, and I thought that was pretty neat.
Something I wanted to practice today was lower bodies! I have put a lot of focus on the head (face especially) and torso lately, and I do want to be able to draw complete bodies. I started with the two pairs of legs in the top left, which I drew with no tutorial watched prior. I picked a random image on Pinterest as reference for this, though that image only really covered the feet, so I improvised on the legs and hips.
Then, I followed up by watching [this mikeymegamega tutorial on drawing legs](https://youtu.be/TONhhhuevsA). I didn't watch it all the way through; he does some speed sketches at the end I *may* watch these tomorrow, as I am interested in the perspectives he is drawing there. Still, I followed along for the first two pairs of legs, and I think they turned out pretty neat. Even gave the first one a green pair of socks. That one is REALLY V-tuber-like, which he also admitted to in the video, but I figured I should just follow along as practice. Can't hurt, after all.
While the technique is very much appreciated and I think it'll help me immensely going forward, I'm quite glad to see that I evidently wasn't *too* far off with my sketches before watching the tutorial. I kind of already knew where I had to put curves and how the legs should look. Still, the ones I drew post-tutorial look quite a lot better.
I definitely need more practice, but: in theory I have now practiced all parts of the body, and I am now able to draw a complete human being! And I will! Soon.
