The first special request ‘How to draw…’ was made by my lovely sister Talya who asked for the funny smiling cat. The second one was the cute piggy my cousin Michal requested – it helped her creating a nice bag with a piggy decoration, and now – it’s the third time – Roee, these shoes are for you. enjoy!
How to draw a very simple shoe

When drawing shoes I always use the ‘circles’ method – drawing a basic sketch of the foot shape, and covering it with the shoe. I use this method even if I’m drawing with a free hand, without the use of the circles for the rest of the body, but when it comes to the shoes – I find that the circles are important for me
- Draw a simple sketch of the heel and the end of the foot. There’s no need to draw the toes or anything, just verify the shape size is in the right proportion, relative to the rest of your cartoon body.
- Start covering the base with the shoe sides.
- Add the sole. Don’t forget – almost in the middle, just a bit closer to the heel, there’s always a small bump, unless the shoe is really not orthopedic..
- Add the top of the shoe,
- and the lases.
- Now remove the base circles and add colors. Your done. :)
How to draw a boot
The boot is similar to the simple shoe:

- Create the base circles.
- Add the sides of the boot. Remember – the boot top is usually higher than a simple shoe.
- Add the sole,
- And another top side of the boot’s end. Yep, it’s a bit tricky, but try a few times and you’ll see, it will be great at the end.
- Add the lases – in this type of shoe they can be crossed from side to side, so just draw some x’s…
- And let’s not forget that the lases are long and coming out of the shoe.
- Just remove the circles and add colors, you’re done:

How to draw a stiletto shoe
Drawing a high heel shoe is a bit different than the regular flat shoe on it’s variations, but in my oppinion – it’s much more fun!
- In this particular example I used a different kind of basic circle, it’s actually a triangle. The heel is raised a bit, so it can become a high heeled shoe…
- Add the sides of the shoe.
- The bottom has a heel – don’t forget it.
- In a high heel shoe the end of the shoe is narrow – only the end of the toes are in there.
- There’s a wide open top.
- Add some color, and you’re done.

Enjoy!
