Shoe Pure Contour

artist statement

The project that we did was making a pure contour drawing of a shoe. The goal was to draw my sneaker at 3 different angles in pure contour.The subject of my creation is my shoe. I chose to make this specifically because I thought my sneakers would look better than my Birkenstocks. The steps I went through in creating this project were drawing the shoe in a 4B pencil and then going in with a HB pencil to add line depth. The materials used when I made this project were graphite. I chose to compose my art this way because I wanted to draw the front and back of the shoe on top of each other.

Some techniques I use while making my art were making my lines different depths you can see it on the shoe because some lines are darker than others.

This project relates to me because they are my shoes. If I were to do this project again I would start drawing in 4B on all of my shoes instead of starting with HB.
