Hello everyone!
Use the link below to learn how to draw a shoe by looking at it - Observational Drawing. Here are the basic things you need to know, a summary from the video:
Observe, observe, observe - draw what you see!
Create basic shapes - don't over-complicate
Proportions - use your fingers to draw things of comparable size.
No erasing; just sketch lines - light pencil lines to form the shapes.
Locate start and stop lines - see where lines start and finish.
Visual measurements - to aid with proportions; compare one part of the shoe to another.
Watch the video, pause where you need to, and have a go at drawing your own shoe - this can be any type of shoe.

Draw using your pencil, so following the video up to 4 minutes.
FANCY A CHALLENGE?
If you have fine liners, feel free to continue watching the video, and add detail using fine liners.
Draw it from side on; you may have to tilt it - this is the angle where designers draw it from, as shown in this other cool video of how to draw the Air Jordan One trainer, using a tablet, from a trained designer!
