How to Draw a Shoe
1
Think about drawing a foot first before you proceed onto drawing the shoe. Here I break down important parts of the foot so you can get a good grasp on what to draw. 1. There is an ankle to the foot. You'll need to know where to place this correctly
2
Here is what the shoe looks like once it's on the foot. 1. Notice how the curve still appears on the shoe. It NEVER flows un-leveled with the other side. 2. The tip is elongated further so the toes won't touch the top. This is for comfort reasons. 3.

It's good to get a view underneath a shoe. 1. There is texture that are normally straight lines. This allows the shoe to get a grasp on its surface. 2. The edge is curved and fit for the sole of the foot.
4
Drawing shoe ties is something difficult for artists. Start off with the basic loop structure.
5
Next, draw the inner loop and the smaller strings that hand on the sides of the tie.
6
Then finish off the strings.

It's best to start off a shoe with basic shapes. In this case, we will start off with a basic shape that resembles the shape of the shoe. You'll need to appropriately start off with a foundation to plant your definite details.

next, work on the outline. This is best to quickly sketch so you get a grasp on the outlook of the shoe. Keep in mind what shoes mainly consist of. The most coordinate details is the tongue, strings, toe cap, heel cap and heel.
9
Let's start drawing the inner details for your shoe. Draw the welt first (the underside rubber layer). After that's completed, work on drawing the toe cap. Finish off by drawing the heel cap and socks lining.

Lastly, you simply add the shoe strings and sock designs. Use your knowledge on how to draw the shoe string tie from the previous steps. The criss-crossed strings should be drawn first before you add the tie.
