Hot red shoe
Thursday, October 19th, 2006
I got these shoes from Old Navy the other day and am somewhat in love with them. Plus, they make a more interesting sketch subject than, say, my bare feet or a mug or my printer. The sketch is far from perfect (I was a little confused about how the sole of the shoe worked–it was hard to tell it from the shadow on the carpet), but on the whole I’m extremely happy with this sketch–or drawing, really, since it has some degree of “finish.” I don’t use colored pencil a lot, which added another layer of challenge, on top of the shiny and the difficult angle. I do think I’ll be playing more with colored pencils, though. The ones I have with me at school are actually watercolor pencils–I almost never use them with water, but I feel like the color is more saturated in them. (Maybe just because I’ve never used quality colored pencils. I don’t know.)
