Shoes? I don’t sketch shoes, but I do draw shapes, and if those shapes should turn into shoes, well, so much the better. Thanks for another great tutorial.

My drawings turn out so wonky...😜 But I'm a beginner. You're so good at this... Your proportions are always great 😃

Scottie I noticed your technique really works pretty well, and it does reflect the loose line work, but why not be a little more accurate with the lines, wouldn’t it make the outcome better? I guess proportion is the main objective?

I’ve tried sketching the sneakers among the other projects but I find it extremely difficult to try and paint them. I don’t want to mess up what took me so long to sit down and start.
