I am Laurel, the fashion expert. We are, today, working on flats, as far as shoes go. I'm
giving you some different styles of flat shoes that you can use to work with when you're
drawing your croquis, when you're designing your collections. These are just some starting
places in case you have designers block. Right now I'm going to show you how to draw my version
of a Velcro strap sneaker. It looks detailed because I just kind of let myself go when
I was designing it. You can do whatever you want. The whole basis of me showing you how
to do this is just that a Velcro strap sneaker is a style of flat shoe, with which, you can
work and customize to whatever you want, whatever makes it say you. Let’s get started with
my Velcro strap sneaker and I'll show you how to do that right about now. First of all,
since it's a flat shoe and a sneaker, let’s draw in our sole. Since we're doing a sneaker,
you're going to want the sole, most likely, I don't know how you'll want it but I want
it to be a little bit more of a substantial sole than a regular old flat slip on shoe,
so I made the sole a little bit bigger. You'll see where it swooshes in there, that is going
to be for design, affect, you can, again, do whatever you want, but I did my first line
right there then I went back in and I made this part of it, as another design detail
and then you go up to the top and start doing your actual Velcro part of the shoe well.
Let me color that in just a little bit better. The whole point of a Velcro shoe is to have
a piece of Velcro. Mine, and yours if you're following along, is going to be right here.
This is your Velcro strap. It comes over and Velcro's and then the rest of it are just
my interpretations of a sneaker. I have a design line going as such and then coloring
in, then it goes around the heel, because it's a sneaker. The whole main focus that
I'm trying to show you is the Velcro strap right there. That's our Velcro strap sneaker.
