I was wanting to do a deer tutorial when I realized I actually don't know as much as I'd like! I didn't name out each part mainly b/c im (1) too lazy and (2) positive I messed some things up :'D I didn't realize the metatarsals were comprised of two different metatarsals instead of just the one so that affected some things. I was also unsure of how big to make the vastus lateralis/rectus femoris so I just based it on the reference images used. I also had to completely redo the muscular structure on the first leg because I realized I did everything wrong, not to mention I didnt even include the gluteobiceps asdfghjkl

I also included how I breakdown the hind leg when I sketch it for anyone wondering how I do it! I like to simplify the final lines in my pieces to make a piece look cleaner and less bumpy and ugly so that's included as well ♥
