Awesome sketch man. I really like how the sole wraps up along the lateral side with those column/pillar shapes. It'll be cool to take this concept furtherand explore the different views. You should definitely post this stuff on the discussion over at core77...a lot more people looking...
Hey varu23_
Good start, but I'm going to give you some constructive criticism on your design, since you haven't received any thus far. First off, get yourproportions down. They aren't bad, but watch out for that sharp toe rise (especially on that medial view) and the low cut heel. Quickly trace...
Idea_
I do my sketches by hand. Here is what I usually use >>
prismacolor black pencil
prismacolor white pencil
prismacolor markers (warm grey set, colors)
a little bit of photoshop (to tweak the contrast, etc after scanning the sketch)
Hope this helps.

That shading is where the heel of the shoe rounds out as it begins to wrap around the heel. It's a little trick I learned from Yo > just check out someof his footwear sketches and you'll see it.
Yea I saw that on KG...thanks for the feedback. Here is what I used >> prismacolor black pencil, prismacolor white pencil (highlights), prismacolormarkers, a touch of blue pencil, and the smallest amount of photoshop (contrast, minor highlights, etc).
