Draw on Shoes

Draw on shoes

For the first time, I did drawings on my shoe as decoration. Last week, I bought a pair of Converse classic white shoes. As I was wearing them this week, an idea struck me -- how about putting some something onto the white shoes, so that they are less dull? I went to Pinterest for some inspirations, see how people using their shoes as canvas. Then, I gathered my tools: pencils, eraser, Marvy Uchida fabric markers and a Kiwi Project-All spray to protect my shoes from dirt and water.

I tried out ideas on paper first. It's really hard to decide to start drawing, because once the tip is on the shoes, there's no way to get back, even the pencil sketches are hard to clean. I went on anyway, without spending too much time thinking.

I outlines wings with a black marker on the outside side of each shoe, then filled in shapes I learned from Zentangles I've drawn these days. Basically from there, I just drew wherever my thoughts went. Finally, I reached a point that I thought I was done and sprayed my shoes.

They turned out great. So proud of myself and my art shoes!
