Encouraged by Ryan, I’ve been playing with more of my graphite pencils. This was drawn mostly with 4B and a bit of HB. I think I’ve still got a way to go to get the tonal differences right, but I’m making progress.

Nice, skilled work on the shoe. Pencil seems to have formed the foundation for a lot of artists when they moved on to other media.
Have you seen the work of Ted Kautzky?

GLORIOUS!!! SHADING IS SO PERFECT, I COULD SLIP MY FOOT RIGHT IN!!
Lovely shading! I think you have done really well with your lesson – lights-mediums-and darks clearly delineated….
Love the shading of the shoe. I can only do outlnes so love people’s shading work.
Lots of love from Susan in Australia
I really enjoy the tonal quality of your drawing. Great stuff.
Great shoe with great shading! You’ve done a good job in showing the “wear” signs…I have a pair similar to these and I can’t describe how comfortable they are.
Nice drawing.

This is nice! I need to practice shadows and such, too. I like how this came out. 🙂
This is a wonderful drawing. Highlights, the wear of the shoe. Everything.
