I have intensified the cast shadow, put in some form shadows, and done some more detailing. I also glazed the soles with cobalt blue. This one will be varnished, too, so I don't think the wubble in the shadow at the far right will show. With these shoes, I did not want a dramatic background - they are just good, old worn-out runners, and needed a good, old, worn-looking background.
Addendum - just got back from visiting my aunt in Vancouver. She is my best critic. Her first comment was "Are you finished yet?" I guess NOT!!! :) |
The shoes are wonderful! I think you stopped at just the right time :0)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing what comes from the photo :0)
I think your aunt knows you very well :-)))) The shoes look great, but I am sure you can't help doing something more :-) The landscape is beautiful and idillic, looking forward to seeing your work.

Quite a contrast from the Tarty zebra Shoes! How versatile and interesting is the woman who wears them both?!
