A bit about my process:

I started out with lots of sketching…and watching the movie over and over again. Any project that involves watching movies for research is a good one. Once I felt comfortable drawing all the characters, I moved from paper to the shoes, and penciled in everything. Next came the color. After testing out loads of color combinations, I narrowed it down to what you see here. Then came inking and touch-ups.

Sadly, the markers I used aren’t waterproof. Not a good thing here in Oregon. To seal it all I used Omnigel, which you can get at pretty much any craft store. Hopefully that’ll hold up.

I’ve gotta say, this was one of my favorite projects I’ve done in a while. In fact, I liked it so much that I went and got my own plain shoes to customize for myself.

I illustrated it with a pinstripe suit and wingtip shoes, which goes with the time period. Those were the good ol’ days, man.

I don’t know what it is, but there’s something satisfying about digging through a jam-packed folder full of pics that were saved for some vitally important reason (that I then promptly forget) and just seeing the colors. It probably has something to do with being a visual thinker, rather than a verbal thinker. At any rate, I have a bunch of these color palettes, and here’s one I made the other day. No idea what it’ll be for, yet.
