Requested from some peeps ^w^ Hope it's okay~

1. Start with 2 curved lines. The top one will be the front of the leg, while the one to the left is the back. The front part is a smooth curve, and it's very shallow until you get to the bottom, where it curves more. The left line follows the top, but it's more of two connected lines rather than a curve. Again, it's not very strong, but just enough to become a slight diagonal with the top.

2. Draw in the actual paw shape. For me, I like to use a triangle with softened edges. It gets thicker near the top, and thinner near the bottom. It must attach to both lines, but it comes off from the top a little.

3. Erase a little bit of the triangle inside the leg; this shows where the paw is connecting. Then, draw in the toes. They all connect with the top line, and they also get bigger as you go up. The last one is smaller, though, to show a little more depth.

4. Now you can shade however you'd like!

Ex. An extra piece to this, say if you're drawing canines, (or a cat with its claws extended) is adding claws. A very simple way is to just add in little curved triangles to the middle of each toe. Make sure to remember that they're protruding from the toe, to have the edges connected to it a bit flatter. (Cat's claws are a bit sharper than a dog's)

Ex 2. Another extra that isn't needed, as it's more about your preferences, is adding the pads underneath the toes. This is mainly again for canines, but you just add little curved lines closer to the bottom half of each toe, broken by the claw and separate toes.
