My 6 Favorite Fancy Shoe Sketches (With 5 descriptions)

The Shoe

The successes of this drawing are shown through the interesting point of view of the shoe.  Rather than from the side, the view is from the back, with graphite values and eraser marks.  This communicates to the viewer a mystery, because the frontal part of the shoe is not shown.  Also, it communicates realism through realistic value and shadowing.

This drawing is successful because it clearly defines the roundness of the shoe through cross contour lines and very simple design.  The curvy lines show the waves and edges of the shoe's design.  It also has great composition with proportional components.  It communicates simplicity and solid form to the viewer. 

This shoe drawing is successful because it shows the details from the buckle of the shoe. The crosshatching in the shadows emphasize the darks and lights, and gives the shoe a stylized sense of form.  This picture communicates beauty, because it focuses on the intricate detail rather than the image as a whole.

This drawing is successful because it clearly shows the shape of the shoe design through defined contour lines, and correct proportions as well.  It has a blueprint-like quality, which helps the viewer instantly know what the drawing of the object is.  This sketch communicates simplicity, good design, and clearness to its viewers.

This drawing is successful because it provides an accurate yet energized depiction of the front of the shoe.  By combining both elements of a gestural line and a contour line, the form of the shoe shows even without use of value or shading.  This shoe drawing communicates a gestural type of drawing, reflecting movement and energetic life within the shoe.
