Walking on air
Drawing the dogs the other day made me feel like doing some more crosshatching. Gave it a try with my new Dr Martens. Difficult to do the jet black leather when you´re drawing with a grey pen, though.
EDIT: I just noticed I wrote October 2 on this drawing… Well, time flies. Faster than my brain, which is obviously still in October.
17 x 13 cm, Lamy Safari with Noodler´s Lexington Grey ink on sketchbook page.
As always, I love it! You even got the “teeth” of the soles in there! And the grey pen doesn’t read as grey on my monitor. It looks black to me…
I would love this bright new shine on mines.
I think you got the leather and the shine just great. They look wonderful, now I want a pair!
Super crosshatching! Excellent modeling. I like it.
Brilliant works, neat and pleasant.

Beautiful! And shinier than my dress shoes!
Lovin’the leather. Nina.
Beautifully done, as always. I read a quote recently, attributed to R. Crumb, “Drawing is just an excuse to crosshatch”.
love the drawing AND the docs.
I just feel I could put them on right away,, they look so real ! I find it difficult and long to crosshatch when the colour is black! Great sketch again!
Excellent. In my next life, I want to be able to draw as well as you…..
These boots are wonderful and I love the dog sketches in the previous post too.
Now these are true doc Maartens…you can just feel it!

I always learn so much from your posts… composition, reflection, and your handling of line directions and techniques all of which work together to convey different textures of leather, fabric, and rubber. An art lesson… thank you.
Hi there! Your work is fabulous! Never get tired saying it!
