Shoe Sketch

This is my first serious attempt at drawing a sketch on my Zodiac handheld computer. I'm using the Mobi-Systems Paint program which supports up to 16-bit color. This drawing is 1000 x 750 pixels. One problem I encountered is that at that size I can only see and work on less than a quarter of the whole image at a time. I have to scroll over to complete objects or lines. That's why the lines on the floor are not in perspective. Also, the range of colors is limited. I created a small color palette in the lower righthand corner so I could use the eyedropper tool to pick a color. I used the pencil tool to sketch the outlines and the spray can tool to fill in the colors. Sometimes I used the pencil to create solid areas of color. The lines on the floor and wall were done with the spray can. I started with a digital photo and increased the brightness and contrast until it looked like tracing paper. I then drew on top of the washed out image and erased out left over tones. I eliminated a second pair of shoes which were to the left.
