I'll try and impose some order on these challenges and start at #1 Shoes. The white sandal at the top is one of a pair that I wear every day. I'd love to have a collection to make Imelda Marcos jealous but I can never find anything I like. That lady must have been easy to please!Alex told me that, as it's a sandal, it doesn't count as a shoe so I've done two just to be sure! The white one was drawn so quickly I can barely remember doing it, it seems to just pop onto the page. Apart from a bit of shading on the heel and sole, it's not much more than a line drawing as I thought the ouline was such a nice shape.
The brown sandal is more typical of my style but again I've emphasised the outline - this is a technique I like because it also emphasises the image as a drawing and not a photographic reproduction.
Isn't it interesting that more than any other thing we wear, shoes take on the shape of their owners. I love how old shoes look as if the owners foot is still in them!

Nice shine on the sandal finish! And I love the souk precision.
No need to reply, just come visit me occasionally and comment in return :-)
Imelda Marcos was insane, that's what she was! The shoes look very comfortable by the way. You are so precise in your draftsmanship!
I was just thinking that both shoes looked like they were shaped to your foot so well that I could almost imagine what it looks like when I read your comment about how old shoes take on the shape of their owner. Nice drawings!
Beautiful drawings! I have a pair just like your brown shoes -- they ARE comfy, aren't they! :-)
