i am definitely NOT a fan of drawing realistic stuff... most of my ideas are more reserved for drawing crazy, wild, and extreme stuff. but to be honest i did have a little more fun than usual drawing my first shoe. it's a bit disappointing to see it on the computer screen, it looks so much better in person haha. in the first step i just started out drawing the shoe and shading minimal details, then in the second one i tried using a criss-cross shading technique in an effort to try getting the canvas texture... but it kind sucked, so i ended up blending it all with a roll of paper towel and it actually looked a bit more matte and overall, a little bit better. it only took about two and a half hours. i feel a little cruddy about it now that i think about it, but there's always more room for improvements i guess. :/
I think your shoe looks really nice actually! I like how smooth you made parts looks and all the different crumpled areas.
ReplyDeleteI like the shoe too. I like how you applied the values to the pattern on the inside compared to the outside. I also am attracted to the dark shadows. Thanks for posting the progression. What are you going to do for Ma and Pa.
ReplyDeleteI shaded with paper as well. It is actually better than cross hatching because it matches the texture of most shoes; leather. Good detail on the picture inside the shoe.
