Zoom & Crop

Our assignment was to take one of shoe drawings from the Three Views Of A Shoe assignment and redraw part of the shoe zoomed in a bit. Then after I drew that I "zoomed" in on part of of that drawing and drew it and did that again once more. That is why it's called zoom and crop because we zoom in on the drawing and crop out the rest. To draw the shoe I used a regular pencil. I chose to draw these specific shoe because I like the pattern the laces make. It is a basic line drawing with some shape and the laces make a pattern. The drawing went from the front view of a shoe to a pattern that somewhat resembles shoe laces, it evolved from a shoe drawing to a pattern. I am proudest of the shoelaces and how they turned out, how they overlap looks cool. I struggled with the the overlapping laces at first because I didn't know exactly how they should look, I overcame this struggle however they never really looked like shoelaces more just a pattern of overlapping lines. If I were to do these drawings again I would have chosen a different shoe that had more pattern and interesting lines and I would have used a softer pencil led and less sketchy lines.
