SHOES!!

While trying to decide what to draw today I decided to actually go to Danny Gregory's EDM Flickr site and take a look at the list of suggested items.  Once there I found a whopping 178 suggestions!  I may have trouble coming up with stuff, but apparently others don't.  I've already drawn numbers 2, 4, 25, and 154 (what a scamp I am - drawing out of order!  tee-hee!).  I was tickled to find that number one on the list says, "Draw a shoe." 

I love shoes.  I can't afford to spend a lot on them, but have discovered that our local Ross in Destin has fabulous girly shoes at incredibly low prices.  This week I picked up a very cute pair of feminine heels complete with flowers & bows.  They probably weren't the smartest shoe to draw but I'm trying to stretch myself with each sketch.  Whereas my usual flip-flops (required Floridian shoe that I also love) would have been much easier, I decided to go with the adorable $17 find.  There's a major flaw in the drawing because I still have trouble discerning what I'm actually seeing.  Had it been in pencil this is one mistake that would have definitely been erased.  But, here it is:



Today I'm going to pick up that second moleskine, pencils, & kneaded eraser.  This new pencil sketch journal will be for fun!
