A way into the drawing

  1. Establish the main shapes

    Map the tall shaft and broad foot shape.

  2. Connect the structure

    Join the ankle curve, shaft opening and continuous sole.

  3. Develop the drawing

    Refine the clear outer contour, add only the most useful interior details and place a few small local shadows. Leave most of the paper open.

A small thing to tryKeep the sole thickness consistent around the toe.
