beyond drawing on just shoes, this same concept can be taken to your clothing with a mixture of paint pens, sharpies, whatever! i've currently a project based around this idea, when i'm done i'll post it with more info. (:

i was out of the country before i could finish the other shoe. oops!

i primarily use these paintpens made by Elmer's Glue? they're called "Painters" and usually you can find them in Wal*Mart.

i haven't tried to draw on flipflops or anything like that - just shoes with the typical plain fabric covering.

if you happen to have white shoes, for a bigger colour palette you can use sharpies in the same manner as you would your paintpens. (:

if the fabric on your shoe is black, stick to paintpens, and be sure to layer several coats of paint if the colour isn't turning out as vibrant as you want.

don't be afraid to use your fingers to smudge around the paint if you need to!

ps - if you're afraid of sharpie ink bleeding from being wet, and would rather continue using paint pens, try looking into Deco markers. they're extremely nice paint pens, a bit on the expensive side but they've a much bigger colour palette and handle beautifully.
