More Shoes!

9x12 sketchbook, pencil

Finally getting this posted! By request from Kathleen last week to show everyone the different shoes I sketched. Not a great pic but scanning it didn't improve it so here you have it. I have a few other pages with bits & pieces, random scribblings not much details so the camera couldn't pick it up. I may go back in and do those in colored pencil so will post those too if I do. Anyhow, I found myself being a bit obsessive with this (!) but wanted to see what I could achieve just using pencil.

EDM #62 - previous challenge: different medium

graphite, oil sticks, strathmore heavyweight textured art paper, 9x12

Try a different medium than you normally use on a challenge you've already done: I decided to redo the very first challenge: #1 shoe/s. Most of my sketches are done with pen & watercolor or just watercolor so oil sticks are new to me. I"ve been sketching all kinds of shoes for about a week now- flats, heels, sandals, flipflops - so it seemed like the perfect time to give this a try before I get bored and move on to something new!

This textured art paper was wonderfully receptive to the medium and because it was already a light shade of pink /rose, one of the colors was already done for me :) Great fun with this one!!
