Observational drawing; line drawing

We were asked to compose a line drawing of some shoes for our next study. I decided I would use my dance shoes, as dance is important to me. As it is only a line drawing, we were unable to show light and shade, however proportion and precision is important. Using a HB pencil, I drew sturdy lines, to outline each object, and then added various other lines, (for example on the ribbons) to make it appear more curved and loose. On particular areas such as the end of my pointe shoe and the inner I used more pressure to create darker lines to show shade, rather than shading it in.
To improve I could have chosen some more interesting shoes to add in some more detail, however I love dance and I thought I would chose a set of shoes which all fit together, rather than various types of shoe. Also, I could have worked more on proportion in the tap shoes as they look smaller than the rest of the shoes.
Overall I am pleased with my outcomes and feel I have portrayed the scene well.
