    Try drawing the tennis shoes, but at the end change the shape, making the entire shoe a little skinnier. Add more crossed laces on the top (optional), and add small bumps on the bottoms by adding little "U" shapes to create the cleats.

    You could probably alter the "Men's shoes" example in the article to make them look the way you want, or you could draw the "Tennis shoes" example and draw a strap instead of laces to make them look like Mary Janes.
  • Question
    What brand are the tennis shoes?
    Community Answer

    They can be any brand you'd like (Adidas, Nike, etc.).

Article SummaryX

To draw a shoe, start by sketching a large, oblong shape, which will be a guideline for your drawing. Then, draw a semicircle at the top end of the shape for the opening of the shoe, and draw the basic outline of the shoe inside of the oblong shape. Next, start to add in the shoe's features, like the sole, the tongue, the laces, and the design on the outside. Once you've added the details, erase the oblong shape and finish your drawing by coloring or shading it in. To learn how to draw other kinds of shoes, like high heels and sandals, keep reading!
