My Daughter's Baby Shoe/EDM Challenge #1

The first challenge on the road to recovering my creative self was to draw a shoe. Since it happened to be my daughter’s birthday, I dug out and drew her baby shoe (she was amazed I kept it but pleased there were little lions on the side because she loves animals). This actually took several nights to draw since I had some trouble getting it to look shoe-like. There’s an unfortunate wrinkle on the page which is what the light stripe is.

Heard somewhere that if you draw a thousand circles, you’ll learn how to draw a circle. Playing with that idea has lead me in some interesting directions … here’s one of them. Its not finished yet and I’ll post the final version once its done. Clearly I have some work to do learning how to photograph my work for the blog as well.
