Sandals
-
Draw a small circle (for the heels) and an oblong (for the toes). -
Connect the sides of the circle and the oblong. Curving the line is optional. -
Draw the sole following the bottom shape of the sandals. It’s up to you how thick the sole is. -
Draw the toe straps by drawing two arching lines (per strap) with the ends on the each side of your sandal. Also, draw an oblong connected to the sandal above the circle (from step 1), these will serve as the strap for the ankles to keep your sandal from wobbling. -
Draw dark lines over your sketch (this is for your final outline). The design is up to you. -
Erase the sketch and design and add more details to your sandal. -
You now have your very own drawing of a sandal! Don’t forget to color your drawing.Advertisement

QuestionHow do I draw cleats?
CraftsmartTop AnswererTry drawing the tennis shoes, but at the end change the shape, making the entire shoe a little skinnier. Add more crossed laces on the top (optional), and add small bumps on the bottoms by adding little "U" shapes to create the cleats. -
QuestionHow do I draw school shoes?
Community AnswerYou could probably alter the "Men's shoes" example in the article to make them look the way you want, or you could draw the "Tennis shoes" example and draw a strap instead of laces to make them look like Mary Janes. -

Community AnswerThey can be any brand you'd like (Adidas, Nike, etc.).

About this article
To draw a shoe, start by sketching a large, oblong shape, which will be a guideline for your drawing. Then, draw a semicircle at the top end of the shape for the opening of the shoe, and draw the basic outline of the shoe inside of the oblong shape. Next, start to add in the shoe's features, like the sole, the tongue, the laces, and the design on the outside. Once you've added the details, erase the oblong shape and finish your drawing by coloring or shading it in. To learn how to draw other kinds of shoes, like high heels and sandals, keep reading!
