Devil Joint (Triple Joint) Tutorial

Edit: Decided to up date it, since I've improved in my skills as an artist.

1: Draw 4 circles and. First being the 'hip' of the character/creature. The second circle being their first 'knee', then the third being what I call the second 'knee'. From the second 'knee' create a final circle for the foot/paw/hoof of the character with a rectangle, or any other shape, to represent the foot's location. From there connect the four circles to create the basic skeleton of the character.

Examples are shown for different poses for crouching, running/jumping, and simply standing.

2: Create a second layer. This layer will be the rough sketch of the character's limb, in this example I'm going with a basic design. Here is where you sort of create the 'muscle' of the character, where you want the outline to collor and generalyl get an idea of what goes where as far as detail.

3: For the final step create a final layer, this being the one for the actual outline of the character. Following the plan laid out from the 'muscle' layer before bring your triple jointed leg to life with detail such as fur, hooves, claws, what have you. I kept the design in this extremely simple for this tutorial.

Edit: So many favorites already? I'm simply glad my tutorial will be helpful to others, to those who look at this in the future check out 's stuff, she was the one who said I should put this up so I feel some credit goes to her.
