Step 1
i used boots for this one as i wanted to put quiet a large picture on a shoe and had tried perviously with heels and flats and i couldnt get the image i wanted on them and i think they look "witchy" to match the theme lol
both shoes have different characters on them so ill start with jacks side
Step 2
so first i drew in my characters(dont worry i put a template at the bottom of the project :)) and the i painted the more vibrant characters in white, including jacks coat, i know it makes no sense to paint it white when we are gonna paint it black again but it does stand out with a white undercoat :) so we have the mayor, zero, jack and a mummy, (the dots on the right hand side were other characters that i wasnt happy with so i painted over them in the end)
Step 3
i did another layer because the material in the shoe was hard to work with. after it all dries paint in the black bits of jacks suit and his face.
Step 4
i painted zeros features in black too. i then started with a bit of colour and this little demon is the first to be painted :)
Step 5
then came stock( i think thats her name lol) i mixed in black to get the shades of her hat. i also painted bleached bone on the mayor as he is not as ghostly as the rest of the cast
Step 6
i love that shade of green so i use it whenever i can. i thought that the overall scene was lacking colour so the green was my background it it brought the more somber coloured characters to life i think
Step 7
i put more detail in the mummy and around the pink demons eye. you need a very steady hand for this because i used black paint. i dont recommened using a pen as even the most waterproff pens with fade in time.
Step 8
you can see the detail here, not too much i found it hard to paint the detail on a shoe lol
Step 9
this is the shoe from the other side. i painted it all green with a gap at the toes, there should be a line you can run your fingers along on any shoe, i usually stop there.
when the grey has dried i first painted the black scene, waited for it to dry and added a very dark grey and then a very light grey, all done but different mixtures of white and black.
Step 10
this is a close up of the inside shoe :) sorry about the bad quality of the pictures, i have a really poo camera :)
Step 11
so i painted the toe bit with green for oggie boogie and then painted the mouth black
Step 12
while the black was drying i painted the white stitches, because it was still wet the black seeped into the white to give tone in on the stitches
Step 13
this is the finished shoe :D now on to the next one lol
Step 14
i painted sally first by using yellows and pinks. her other sleeve is green and her skin is a very light blue. put a bit of dark red in her hair around her nick and in the parting to add shadow
Step 15
i painted lock next and the orange is a haunted pumpkin from the pumpik patch :) locks mask is very light pink i suggest a lighter one than i have. almmost boardering on white :)
Step 16
i painted the clown with the tear away face next. his colours are different shades of purple and a light lemon yellow
Step 17
i painted the background black and put in oggie boogie in the moon. i used a light blue for the moon and black from oggie boogie and the green to outline him
Step 18
this is the finished design on the inside
Step 19
this is the finished design, i outlined the characters with black paint( very tricky lol) , cleaned my mistakes, put oggies mouth on the front as with the otherr shoe and let it dry :)
Step 20
this is the finished design on the inside :)
Step 21
have fun making these. i had a hard time with these as there was so many little details. i kept it simple, did have a load of characters on the shoe but it was just to hard to put them all on.
happy crafting :D
