New art life of old shoes

I think each of us has a pair of old comfortable shoes that I don’t feel like wearing anymore, but throwing away is a pity. Give them a second life - colorize!

I decided to paint my black boats in street graffiti style with acrylics and contours. For beginner artists, drawing is a bit complicated, but you can choose something simple: flowers, stripes, zebra ...
1. Removed the buckle from the shoe, divided the "working surface" into parts using a centimeter and chalk.
2. The slots from the buckles were sealed with a strip of leather, using decocles as the most waterproof and transparent.
3. For the inscription, I made a template out of paper, circled it with a colored outline, and outlined the entire drawing in the same way.
4. Filled the drawing with color using acrylic paints. For those who do not draw so often, I advise you to buy paints separately in jars - it is more profitable and cheaper.
5. After drying, the drawing made a black outline and added white highlights to the inscription, characteristic of the style of graffiti. Complemented areas with patterns and dots.
6. Made a drawing on the sole.
7. I erased all errors using ordinary nail polish remover and cotton swabs.
8. When the paint is completely dry, removed the chalk from the shoes and covered everything with clear varnish.
9. And how to hide such shoes in boxes?)))
For inspiration, I attach you the Charlotte Olympia collection, created based on the works of famous artists.And note: the pattern on the shoes does not require strict symmetry, which greatly facilitates the work and gives an even greater reason for imagination.
Go ahead! And whatever you end up with, there is always an excuse, "I see it!")))
