I have a personal preference for lady shoes as their silhouette is pretty thin and sexy.
I somehow feel they are more expressive in terms of fluidity and curves.

How to Draw a Nike Shoe

Drawing Nike shoes can seem intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be.
With a few easy guidelines and some practice, anyone can learn how to draw a Nike shoe!

All you need is a piece of paper and something to draw with, such as pencils, a ballpoint pen, or a graphic tablet.
However, I personally recommend the ballpoint pen.

Start by sketching a basic outline of the shoe, using a standard form of a foot, also called “Shoe Last”.
Then add details like laces, tongue, toe cap, shoelaces… and the famous swoosh logo.

Don’t forget to make some creative adjustments based on your own style!
With just a bit of dedication and practice, you can soon start drawing amazing Nike shoes!

Remember: Always start by drawing the “shoe last”

To make huge improvements in sketching shoes, practice how to draw a “shoe last first”.
The “Shoe Last” is basically a standard shape of the foot.

From there you can draw the shoe using that silhouette as a base.
That makes sure you start with a good proportion.

Using this method and a bit of imagination,
you could sketch about 90% of your own design in the first 45 seconds,
after that it’s all about details and pure creative fun! :)

For example, you could get inspired from catwalks
to create your own shoe collection!
