To make sure you receive news on the launch of the Sneaker Sketching course, make sure to Register to the blog! 🙂

It took me 10 hours and 30 minutes of sketching to complete the 7-meter canvas in 4 days.
 
It’s an amazing experience I recommend you to do once in a while to sit, focus, and enjoy drawing like doing meditation.
 
And I wanted to take this opportunity to record the whole session for you guys. I saw a chance to extract from it plenty of sketching tips that I compiled in a book called: the Sneaker Booster Book
 
In total I found 36 sketching TIPS to help you to draw your own design of sneakers! I hope it is gonna be helpful and inspire you.
