EDM # 1 Draw a shoe
Just one challenge a week just isn't enough, so I decided to start from the very beginning as well! So here is my shoe. I realise I didn't chose the easiest shoe to draw, something with less shoe laces would have been a lot easier and quicker. But it turned out pretty good in the end, and I'm happy I stayed with it even though it was tricky. Good exercise!
On a different note, thank you so much for all of your kind comments! I am surprised and very touched, and it inspires me to keep going. I can't promise to keep up with all of your posts all the time, but I'll do my best.
Edit - put in a better photograph on jan 8, 2010.
Lovely sketch! Definitely a good one I must say... and I am too a big fan of Converse's Chuck Taylor series. I don't think they are made to last forever, but the style will never die. ^^ Actually you know what, I'd take back the part where I said they are not made to last... where all my Nike and Adidas failed(stitching and foam padding after a long period without wearing them), Converse All Stars are the ones that will still be ready to serve ^^
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind thoughts. My sister is out of surgery and though I can't speak to her yet, her husband says the doctor gave a very good report.

Great job, love this choice for shoe portraiture!
ReplyDeleteYes Johanna, the cat I drew was curled up inside a box with furry oval opening :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment ^^
Great shoe sketch! And I love your profile picture too, it's so good to see someone who wraps their baby on their back and blows bubbles just like I do! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent drawing! It has personality - this shoe, in the way it bends to one side, and the laces are loose. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI should really be kicked out of EDM (no, I'm not serious - I want to stay!!) - can't remember the last time I did a challenge. I'm long overdue. Actually, I've totally internalized the spirit of the thing, drawing everyday things that matter to me!
Great drawing and wonderful perspective!
ReplyDeleteExcellent work on the shoe!
ReplyDeleteExcellent, excellent shoe! So well done around the laces and eyelets!
ReplyDeleteThe shoe is very well done
ReplyDeleteExcellent lines! I like it.
