Having been drawing all of my son’s shoes, I felt it necessary to include all our family’s shoes. (All together now: “Once upon a time there were three shoes: Daddy shoe, Mommy Shoe and Baby Shoe…”) This is in fact the first page of moleskine #5 but I’ve been drawing it slowly.
In fact it’s not yet finished, as I intend to add a wash of colour to the shoes. I’ll post it when it’s complete, but I kinda liked it like this too.
I’m really getting into drawing shoes. What’s that proverb about walking a mile in another man’s shoes? Isn’t it something like, make sure they fit, and make sure he isn’t chasing you?
Mine is the adidas trainer, in case you were wondering.
This is great. Really nice way to celebrate family life
awesome drawings Pete, they look like the illustrations in newspapers classified ads from the 50s and 60s, no color needed but i’m sure they’ll look great in color too
Neat family portrait! I am biased — I have to say I like the black and white a lot.
cheers! and now i’m wondering whether to add the colour. I still think i might, but maybe not yet.
Beautiful drawing – I love the details…
thanks!
