I'm trying to draw a sketch of a woman, but the right leg looks a bit smaller than the left. And when I try to draw the right foot, it either is too far down or overlaps with the left. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

And here is an updated sketch I just finished. The right foot looks smaller, but the only way I can make it bigger is if the I overlap with the left. Maybe the left foot is too big?

Trace it so you'll know where you fucked up

Draw faint/faded lines before committing to a established line, think of it as rough initial sketch, just like painters throw blotches of paint in the beginning just to find the value and forms. Also, one thing that helps me is starting with a thumbnail and scaling it when you feel like it is enough to move on.

Something like this.

In case this is sincere and not a shitpost you should probably put this on the figure drawing general instead of making your own thread. And please post higher quality images.

Pay attention to the relative distances between points on the figure. She is a lot more foreshortened than you've drawn her. Your drawing is taller than her silhouette actually appears.
For instance here>>7888294
The heel of her foot should appear much closer to her thigh, her lower legs are pointing at the camera more than you've drawn and should be shorter. Her ass is also wider than you drew which results in bringing her legs closer together.
I think you're probably used to drawing figures that aren't foreshortened and in this case you're underestimating it.

I also do this too. I draw a quick sketch first of the overall body.

>>7888291
Start drawing the overall shape first and worry about the feet later.

Use a bigger brush and canvas because it's basically pixelart at this point.

Note that the bigger the canvas, the bigger your brush needs to be for it to be the "same proportion" relative to the canvas.
For example the same 10px brush on a 10px canvas is huge, but it's quite small on a 10000x10000 canvas.
