Do you have any references for drawing feet/shoes in a 3-D way?

Yes! Here are some pretty good feet references for drawing them. To avoid it looking flat, I think it’s important to add those subtle inner lines.

A drawing is composed of both outer lines (outline) and inner lines. Inner lines are those such as the indication of the ankle, the balls of your feet, the creases of skin, and the little indications of the veins and bones and stuff!

It also helps to “wrap” the object with the lines in order to convey the roundness (and therefore 3D-ness) of it.

I did some shoe studies and pointed out some things that help me read them as actual physical objects. It has a lot to do with overlapping shapes and wrapping lines around the form.

Some of the best writing advice I ever got was if you’re stuck on a scene or a line, the problem is actually about 10 lines back and that’s saved me from writer’s block so many times.

I feel like I need an elaborate explanation

Often times, I find myself stuck on what a character should say next or what should happen in a scene to connect A to B or so on. When this happens, I fall into the trap of writing and rewriting the same few lines over and over, and becoming more and more dissatisfied every time until I give up.

But problem is almost never actually whatever line I’m trying to write at the moment; the issue is the stuff leading up to the line. Maybe there are structural issues with the set up, maybe I wrote a bit of dialogue that was out of character leading to a discussion that doesn’t make sense, maybe I’m missing a vital piece of exposition or expositing too much. It could be a lot of things, but the important part of the advice is to look back and be willing to consider changes to something earlier in the work (even if you’re really attached to like a piece of dialogue or a particular sentence or something) instead of trying to find a way to force out a scene that’s not working.

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for explaining!
