A concept sketch is always the first step when creating a new pair of hand painted shoes. Sketch is rather rough. It helps to grasp an idea and to explore design options.

Far right sketch: the hummingbird and the owl featured on the sides of the shoes.

I painted the exteriors black (Valspar Satin Black) and the interiors a dark green (Valspar Satin Peacock House).
