My Keen Newport H2 Sandals

Last night David suggested posting my drawings as before- and after-coloring. Today I went a step further and included my pencil drafting as well.

BTW, this little drawing took ridiculously long: half an hour for each line drawing, and an hour for the coloring. If this trend continues on, I’ll never be able to do any on-site sketching. Obviously something needs to be done.

Step 1: Drafting with a mechanical pencil. (Thanks David for fixing the light pencil lines with software!)

Step 2: Line drawing with a technical pen and a kneaded eraser (regular eraser damages the paper surface).

Step 3: Coloring with watercolor pencils (they reflect texture better), colored pencils, and waterbrushes.

Keen Newport H2 Sandals are expensive but awfully comfortable. I’m quite fond of them and wore them almost everyday in summer (until Ulu Koli Strap clogs showed up).
