Description A dolling tutorial on shoes.

(NOTE: the tutorial was made in photoshop, but is not photoshop specific)

lots of people complain that they find dolling shoes difficult, so I thought I'd give a helping hand. I hope this is of some help!

all of the base feet were created by me

my dolls and bases can be found at Asha's Place:

please comment/review if you read the tutorial, I'd really like some feedback on it so I can make sure that my next tutorial is helpful.

please don't repost/reproduce this tutorial anywhere. Thanks.

Very (VERY!) helpful, thank you. I've always had trouble with shoes. I usually just lob off part of the foot to make them look like they'd fit into whatever I've created, lol.

Thank so much for this, it was really easy to read (although you might want to make the font a few sizes bigger just to make it easier to read) and made sense ^^

Icecradle In reply to lizziecat1279 [2011-07-13 21:16:54 +0000 UTC]

thanks for the comment! The sizing is something I've tried to address in my more recent tutorials and will definitely be something I bear in mind for future ones, so thanks for the feedback.

your tutorial is uber helpful! i have always had trouble with heels, but i realized i disregarded the scrunching of the toes so the shape threw me off from your tutorial (:

Oh and I have a question, what font did you use in the tut? The small white text. :3

Channini [2009-03-03 14:40:39 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, well if you really want some critique, I'll say that if it were me I would increase the contrast, add some anti-aliasing, and use less saturated colors. But this is just me!

Very nice tutorial over though. I love it when I see people make tuts. I myself did not learn art from an art class (last one I took was in 6th grade) but from observing what people did in their artwork and reading tutorials. So props for taking the time out to help others.

I'm making a big fatty of a tutorial at the moment myself, but it's taking sooo long because it's literally what I do from the second I start mousing the lineart to the last pixel I add. FF FF FF.

I showed it immediately to a friend who just started dolling ^^ but I think, a tutorial like that was just missing, most people still draw shoes pretty weird on the base feet XD
I am sure it will be a big help to a lot of people I wished that it had existed earlier XD I had to learn drawing shoes the hard way >_> lol
