We were told to draw pur contour drawing of our shoes. Meaning, no shading, just pure strong lines, so that's what I did. I was trying to make them as realistic as possible, despite the limitations.
For these drawings, all I used was drawing paper and graphite pencils. I started off with a lighter pencil then finished it with a darker one.
To make them, I started by setting up the shoe in the position I wanted to draw it in, then started sketching out a very light outline to get the proportions and designs right. Once I had a good baseline, I just added in lots of strong lines to clean it up and I was done.
