Sustained Investigation Eleven

12x10

When creating it, I started with four sneakers from my plan to make brands with nothing to do with sneakers or fashion and combine them. An example would be using Mcdonalds and Ford, two brands connected by one thing: American. Still, they don't relate to sneakers or fashion. What I found important was taking my time with this piece. I really started sketching different forms of sneakers and then deciding on which one I wanted.

Like most of my work for sustained investigations, I made it on Illustrator. I started with simple sketches. I use logos and start filling in the outline that I have drawn for the shoe. The linework that I do first is usually the most important as it is hard to go back through and fix it afterward.

While creating this, the issue that I have is managing my time, which was an issue I had here. I struggled to find the outlines I liked or that were leading to something I wanted. I then decided I had to select four leading to a final design or have so element I liked.
