Boots Sketch Tutorial: Learn Proportions and Structural Lines

I've been working on a still life with boots for the past few weeks, and I've been trying to adjust the rhythm of drawing in a short period of time. Since I started to use charcoal, I've been coloring with charcoal, and I feel like I'm coming out of a mine, and my hands are covered in black 🙋 I've been using charcoal for coloring.

On a side note, boots have a special place for me.
I remember when I was in high school, I loved the British outfits in magazines, and when I saw long boots with a knight's jacket, I thought I'd have a set of these when I grew up, and then when I started to go out into the world, I always kept my boots as my daily wear.

The second half of the boot structure is organized, if you are interested in the painting friends look down together!

Basic proportions and shape of the boot

When viewed, the boots have a ratio of approximately 1:1.5 squares and are composed of simple geometric shapes, such as trapezoids, where the mouth of the boot (the opening that fits over the foot) looks like a cylinder.

Understanding the composition of shapes will help us draw shapes, and turning angles helps, you can refer to the three views in the lower right corner to understand the ratio.

● Add Perspective

First determine the length and width ratio of the boots, set the position of our vision, determine the vanishing point, and then simplify the shoes into a trapezoidal shape, with a whole trapezoidal shape and then set the ratio of the shoe parts to the grid, you can start to grow the shape of the corresponding parts.

The above perspective methods can be seen in the small diagrams on the upper left and right.

Structural lines and detailing

After drawing the boots, you can mark the ups and downs of the top with structured lines to help us understand the area transitions, as well as to have a marker if you want to color it later.

I hope this introduction can help you understand the structure of the boot, if there is any subject you want to see or if you want to know how to draw, please feel free to leave a message or private message me, I wish you a happy painting!

If you want to learn to draw, but don't know how to start, or are interested in understanding what drawing is all about.
