Hello and welcome my Artsy friends. . . Spring has sprung, how is it looking in your neighbourhood? We are having a summer heat wave, it has been just glorious with 27C temps. It's like having a holiday without having to go anywhere.
I have been progressing with my drawing nicely, maybe not spending as much time as I should but I just had to get outside and enjoy the fabulous weather we have been blessed with. I have completed the toe of the second shoe, scuffs and all, along with the scalloped detail and now I will head into the lace detail. . . there's not much left to do now. I worked the box as I have come along to limit my hand drag over the shoes themselves.
When working the shadows I like to set my drawing away from myself so I can look at the darks as shapes, I get a better idea of where they lie. I continue to erase my grid as I work and I will go back into an area to add more depth with my 6B. . . it's all about the details now. . . I love this part.
We are almost finished. . . keep working. . . you're doing a great job!
Any questions? Ask away. . . I'm here to help.

I will leave the background white, I want to focus on the shoes. . . draw attention to them only.
