A screenshot of my WIP in FreeHand. The first illustration I can remember doing that shows the shoes!!

Finished shoes!

My customized shoes are complete! Quite pleased with how they turned out, I used metallic gold Sharpie for the outer and black on the sole. Luckily I didn't make any mistakes as the markers are permanent!

Photographing the shoes was probably the hardest part, as the surface is so shiny. Arrggh, trying to photograph stuff properly drives me crazy sometimes!

So what do you think? Would you wear these shoes?

Sharpie work-in-progress

Just starting to draw on my heels with a gold Sharpie for the 'Anything But Paper' challenge. Been listening to Bruno Mars' new album, which makes a perfect soundtrack to this. I'm usually a digital gal, so I've got my b&w 'Transition' illustration nearby for inspiration, as I drew that with permanent markers.

So far so good! Hope I don't slip and mess up, as there is no 'undo' button in real life!

Sharpies and Heels

I love receiving pressies in the mail and I received something really cool this week - Sharpie pens and heels!! Was so excited when I saw the heels, but then realized they were two left shoes, so I definitely wont be wearing them, lol  :)

Sharpie sent me the pack as part of their 'Anything But Paper' movement. Any ideas for what to draw on the shoes?? Something that would look nice in metallic markers...
