Changing my idea completely? I had fun with this one

I was really inspired by the glazed cups that Brian showed us in class today. They were very illustrative, which for some reason I hadn't thought I should do something illustrative. It made me think back to a project that I had once bought the items for, but never ending up completing it. I had once wanted to paint my little characters on canvas shoes. I never did probably because the process would take a while, and paint is not my forte, but mostly because having an under sketch is incredibly difficult.
With vinyl though, not only does it speed up the work, but it also eliminates the guess work I would have to go through to complete it. Hopefully this way I can get the paint to go on flat!

So I started sketching. I ended up choosing characters that are near and dear to my heart, just because I've drawn them for so long!! I started drawing these two back in 2012, I believe, and I have used them for a vinyl project before, so I thought I would revisit them!



I drew two illustrations to be put on either shoe. I wanted some variety so each shoe is fun to look at! Lots of work for me, but it will look awesome once everything is put together nicely!




I bought those canvas shoes so long ago, I've worn holes in the bottom! So time to go buy some new ones :D
