The main idea that guided my artwork was drawing pure contour. Meaning no feathery lines and no shading. I had to draw 4 things a hand holding a rubber band, a frontal view of a shoe, a profile view of a shoe, and an aerial view of a shoe.

the material I used for this artwork was a 2H pencil, I started of drawing the hand holding a runner band first and I think that it was the second easiest artwork I drew I just kept looking back and forth between my paper and my hand. the first easiest for me was the aerial view because of the shape of the shoe, the front and side view took me the longest because of how detailed the actual shoe was.

For the first drawing, I did the hand holding a rubber band, I originally was going to the back of my hand holding a rubber band but when I started drawing it I was struggling to draw all the details and the nails so I decided to draw the palm of my hand instead. I found drawing my palm was easier and surprisingly it didn't take me as long as I thought, since I have trouble drawing hands. Then I drew the 3 different views of a shoe I struggled with the profile and frontal view the most, it was hard for me to make it look somewhat realistic. The aerial view was the easiest for me because of the shape of the shoe and there weren't many details that needed to be added.
