Fuck man, how do you not have a job designing shoes?

Without a degree in design is pretty hard to get companies to take you seriously... A Shoe designer has to know lots of things, more than just drawing shoes and i dont have that experience unfortunatelly. A big company like Nike or Adidas would never hire me that's why i'm trying to focus on smaller companies were you can reach them at a personal level. If they like my work they may give me a chance.

Yeah I quoted it again. That is up there with the dunk you did. Knocking the nostalgia out the park! Hope there's more throwbacks to come...

Gimme a couple seasons after the launch of FTW and I may just not only give you a shot, but also let everyone on here actually get a chance to put some money where their mouths are and buy some.

Finally got the courage to share one of mine, did it a little while ago. Heavily inspired by Reebok workouts. I've not done any brand logos or anything, so it looks (and probably is) half finished.

Also, keep in mind it's a low top, I can't draw in proportion. Clearly.

You're getting better dude!! Workouts are seriously one of my favourite silhouettes. The toe reminds me of the linx too which is a classic. I have some tips for you. When you beggin it try to use a image of a side views of a shoe you like and use it to get down the outlines. Then the proportions will be more realistic and once you get used to it you dont need to do that anymore.
And also, dont be affraid to scratch that paper! Do a initial sketch were you can get all dirty and put all your ideas into it. Then when you nailed a cool shoe you start a clean one. I do that everytime!

Rad. Starting with something like this is easy enough to trace in Illustrator. Also, get a pic of a shoe from the internet and trace the outline, might help your proportions.

[Eric ricks]

Fuck, cool work! That silhoutte looks like this old reebok volleyball shoe I used to skate

Im gonna sketch out a shoe tonight just for fun

[Frosty178]

Thanks lads! I'll give it another go with all of your input. See how it goes.

Get at it Eric!

Anyone know how I can get illustrator for free on my mac? I want to start messing around with it. I have a couple drawings of shoes but I wanna learn how to make them on the computer

You can get an old, mostly unsupported version on any torrent site I'm sure. They made it more difficult when they switched to being cloud based, and I get it free so I would have no idea how to get the latest version if you even could. You can get it full for $20 a month now.

[Sk.A.T.A.N]

I use the CS6 version (pirated) but i'm windows... 

[Eric ricks]

It was fun but I think Ill stick to my day job hahahah

I had the high length ratio way off, looks like a midget high top haha

You have a better tag than me, thats for sure! Eheh
I can see that you really dig those old eS models too. 

[Eric ricks]

Hahahah my shoes suck so bad I killed the thread

For sure!

Im just learning and its fun

So the first is basically just a rippoff of the k3 with the creager style sole

The second has some muska element in the upper with a totally different sole

I had to get used to drawing the shell

So next up I wanna just freestyle some ideas with maybe a sprinkle of influence from other shoes

[johnes]

I've been wanting a skate show with air bubbles again.
