Painting has been one of my central passions since my childhood. Nowadays, as an illustrator I paint on shoes. Here I will show you 7 steps to design your shoes. Personalizing shoes is a fun activity for everyone who love to paint. Shoes can have any pattern the designer wishes. You just have to sketch at the beginning to develop your idea. Try to be creative. You want your shoes to be different than others.

What do we need?

white fabric shoes, acrylic colors, acrylic paint brushes in different shapes and sizes, fabric sealant, palette, clean rag and stationeries (pencil, eraser, etc.)

The first thing to do, before even buying the shoes, is to have several ideas and draw them on paper. Sketching and coming up with a design is the most important part. You also have to take a careful consideration when buying your shoes, the most important factor is the fabric and color. Do not buy leather shoes, or shoes with a lot of texture. If you buy white or light colored shoes you can use fabric markers to color your art, giving it a smooth natural look.Darker color shoes are going to need acrylic paint so that the images can be visible. Once you have gathered all your supplies, you can start making your shoes! So, get materials ready and remove laces from shoes and prepare yourself for having fun!
