Just feet?

His drawings are horrible, IMO, in general, the example I keep seeing is how badly he drew Captain America and his weirdly shaped chest.

I think it's extra funny that Liefeld very likely traced a photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger for that one.

It doesn't look like he traced it to me but at the very least he used it as a reference image

No, you're thinking of the X-Men. That's Captain America.

It’s like Peppa Pig is about to burst from the chest cavity.

Bruh. That's like saying Picasso is bad at faces....

I forget where I saw it, by I watched a documentary about him a couple months ago

Dude can draw realistic people (still not feet tho) it's just readers weren't buying comics for realism. They like his off the rail designs and Liefield just kept doubling down on weird and people kept buying it

Deadpool: Seriously, I don't get it! What, you shoot luck lasers out your eyes? It's just hard to picture. And certainly not very cinematic. I mean, luck? What coked-out, glass pipe-sucking freakshow comic book artist came up with that little chestnut? Probably a guy who can't draw feet!

an orthopedic store named “Liefeld’s”

It's better than that it is called "Liefeld's Just Feet".

I’m all for critiquing art and not putting artists on pedestals. And I’m not saying this post falls into what I’m about to say, but holy shit the vitriol I’ve seen directed at Liefeld for his drawing style alone is baffling. Dude is objectively a talented artist regardless of anyone’s particular tastes, even if the fucker can’t draw feet and gave captain America fake boobs.
