Photo 26 Jan 2,594 notes Probably going to upset some folks but, pros and beginners alike do this. To help clarify, set on the left is correctly in perspective and the set on the right isn’t.
The right example is usually people try to align front facing foot with the foot turned to the side. But it doesn’t work that way with that perspective angle. So in the end it looks flat because there is no depth to the foot.
And I had that problem myself in the past, when I got my portfolio  reviews at Comicon it was pointed out to me as a huge flaw in my work. I  got this- ” I can’t take you seriously with the way your feet look. It  looks like this character is going to topple over any minute from your  misplaced feet. If you want a strong character you have to have a strong  stance and that’s all in the feet” the person who reviewed me and told me this was Derek Monster. So I did a bunch of studies of feet/legs in perspective to the typical stances you find in concept art to better myself. And it’s not even a thing about anatomy it’s just about -basic  perspective-, the most basic of foundations. The first thing you should  honestly study, I’m finding out from re-grinding my basic levels. Doing  those perspective studies helped me WAY more right now then anything  else because I can put things in better depth.
