Thanks all who commented! And thanks especially to celtic emperor for the very helpful, and correct, observation that the main creases on the foot were too deep. Sometimes I stare at a drawing too long and talk myself into thinking something looks right; fresh pair of eyes help.
I have modified the original and added it to the first post on this thread. Perhaps take a peek and tell me if its better. Also, if when you look at the new pic, if anything jumps out at you as off or wrong, please post a quick note.
Isabeau: hello girl!! nice to hear from you, how have you been?
You're welcome.

I didn't think that you should actually edit your own picture, more like take it as advice for later. But, whatever works for you.

As for the corrections, they are better. As I said, before some of the creases in the flesh were too symmetrical. This made them look identical. Since its impossible for an single line on a foot to look identical to another, its a more realistic improvement that you've made.
Now that you've done this, though, now the wrinkles aren't as pronounced. There was nothing wrong in having the lines that deep, it was simply where and how they were placed. If you like it better this way though, then thats fine.
Remember that wrinkles on a sole will depend heavly on the position the foot is in, and what type of pressure is being applied to any given area. When toes scrunch down, for example, the most pronounced lines will be on the balls (or directly underneath them) of the feet rather than the soles themselves. Likewise, when theres pressure on the balls of the feet, wrinkles tend to be there. Also, I'd suggest (if you're not already doing so) to use reference material and look at various types of feet in different positions. I've noticed a majortity of your foot art tends to feature the same type of foot (same size, same lengths, narrow, slightly longer toes, etc). If this is the type of foot that is ideal to you, then its fine, but I'd suggest drawing different feet and toes in all kinds of shapes and sizes. You'll only be better off for it, and you'll have more variety to work with. Fortunately, we're in a community where foot reference photos are plentiful, so take advantage of that.
