Hello! I'm Chou-Tac, a Product Designer from France.

If the sketching methods I’ve acquired aid me in my life and in my industrial design career, I believe that they can also help you reach your dream goal as a student or professional designer.

Discover how to sketch an Adidas wedge shoe in under 3 minutes with this easy-to-follow video guide. Learn efficient hand positioning, ergonomic tips, and how music in your creative environment can boost your design energy.​

Hi Shoes Design Lover!

Today, I show you an extra video of an Adidas sketch I did at Georges White Coffee at Penang Island in Malaysia.

TIP: Turn your block note when you draw

If you have already read [the Designer Starter Kit], you may notice how often I turn the paper. It almost occurs at every single stroke. “Remember to turn your paper, don’t draw like a contortionist!”

Turning your paper allow you to draw your shoe design with a good drawing posture.

I am using a standard writing/detail position for my pen grip (except at the very beginning of the sketch).  The sketch is quite small, so my hand/arm movements are quite small too. However, you can notice that I still practice the ghost drawing very often!

If you too love sneakers and footwear design, feel free to leave a comment !

Cheers,
Chou-Tac

PS: I found out the name of the artist of the song we can hear when I was sketching in the Coffee. I am personally happy about this discovery. I believe that music can influence sketcher’s inspiration. So I just wanted to share it with you guys. ;)
