How to Draw Skates
In this lesson you will learn how to draw skates. Completing this tutorial will be a great exercise for your creativity.
I decided to dedicate this lesson to drawing sports shoes, and now you will learn how to draw skates step by step. If you remember all the drawing steps, then you can use the acquired skills in the future when you want to draw any other shoes.
Skates are special shoes that are used for skating on ice. These boots have a classic shape, a low heel and narrow steel runners at the bottom. These shoes make it easy to move on a flat hard ice surface.
Your main task is to correctly draw the outer contour of the boot, and you can draw all the other elements without difficulty. I think that you want to start this lesson as soon as possible. If all the art supplies are already at hand, then you can start an exciting creative work.
