THE BACK VIEW OF THE SHOE
In the back view of the shoe the top fine curves up, not down. The foot being turned away from you, it is foreshortened and the vamp does not appear as long as in the other views. Note the line of direction as the foot recedes. The leg
breaks into the instep, showing that it is nearer to you than the instep.
Note the plane at the back of the shoe and the two planes on the heel. The heel does not appear as far under the foot as in the side view.
THE THREE-QUARTER VIEW OF THE SHOE
In the three-quarter view of the shoe the heel is almost lost. Get the three planes on the vamp and tip, also the center line. This shoe is not resting evenly on the ground, the toe only touching it. When the shoe is pointing slightly toward you, the inside of the heel is seen.
When drawing a black shoe, mark with pencil the place to be inked in, leaving high lights for the shape of the shoe, at the edge (except on the dark side) and on the sole.
Note. The next lesson advises the student to study books on anatomy. There are many books on this subject and from each one the student will learn something. Do not confine yourself to one book.
Study from these books just how the bones of the leg fit under the surface. It will be excellent practice.
