Observational line drawing

As part of my observational drawing project this week for my independent study I was told to do a line drawing of a pile of shoes. I set the pile of shoes up myself on my table to make it easier to draw I also used a variety of shoes.

Pile of shoes

I found it easier to make a sketch of the shoes first and then go over the top of it so I could get the shoes drawn correctly.

Line drawing

The line drawing ended up as a close up but I think I like it better because I could make it look real and get the shapes of the shoes right. Next time I should find some material to make the background more interesting because it looks bland but I still think it is a good line drawing. I applied pressure on points in the lines to show shade and made lines lighter to show where light effects the set up. It gives more detail to the drawing.
