Shoe Drawing
My shoe drawing took a lot of work in practice. In class we practiced doing
blind contour line drawings which really helped me learn how to draw the shape
of an object. After I learned the basics of how to draw contours, I had to
decide what I wanted my composition to be. It was required that we had depth,
so I knew that I had to put one shoe behind the other. I used my shoes to find
a position that I thought would look good in a drawing. Eventually I settled on
the shoe in front being flat, and the one behind it on it's side. When I
started drawing I made sure I used my countour lines. But to make it look good,
I had to use blending. This is when you use a tissue to spread out the lead
from your pencil. This made the shoes look more dimensional and gave it the
depth it needed. I also added a light source, which came from the top left
corner of my paper. This cast shadows that gave my drawing value. Where the
shadows were, the shoes were darker. All of these elements together helped
create my drawing.
