Hello there!

What I would recommend isn’t spraypaint, but rather a leather paint. The difference is that leather paint is soft and flexible and can adhere well to the types of materials that shoes are made out of, where spray paint is not at all flexible and will flake off easily.

Angelus brand leather paint is very popular, comes in many colors, and can be purchased at most US craft stores, and the brand I would recommend.

If you absolutely have to spray paint, I would get Designmaster Colortool spray, which is meant for faux flowers, since it will be softer and more flexible than other spray paints, though it still won’t have quite the effect of a leather paint.

I hope that helps! Good luck :]

I wanted to make her look like she is tripping and I had a bit of trouble finding a good reference of it.

Hey, and thanks for the submission! This was super interesting to redline, and I admit - I also had trouble finding references! And boy did I need them! My first pass at the redline also left me feeling dissatisfied because this is very difficult, and not something I draw often.

My spouse was kind enough to model falling for me (I did not actually force him to trip) and the notes above are mostly my observations. The more messy sketch on the right corner is my first attempt at copying the photo reference. It sometimes takes a few tries to get the pose right, even if you have ample resources!

You did not mention it, so I didn’t really go into detail but - keep in mind proportions when drawing! There were some things, such as the length of the arms, which I fixed automatically because they did not match up (arm closer to the viewer is visibly longer than the shorter further arm, even though in this case foreshortening doesn’t really feel necessary). 

Either way, thanks and good luck!

Op what chapter is this and where can I find it
