love it Tt...

They really do look life-like Leigh ... the leather just looks so soft and well-worn ... wonderful skill you have. :o)

I wouldn't have thought to start with blue.......obvious when you see the finished boots!
well done Leigh xxx

Leigh I've always loved pics of old shoes and boots they have so much character , this is the best I've seen the shine on them is amazing ,well done I love it ,if this is your first still life you mustn't let it be your last .. xx

blue is generally reflected in black pam and once I phoned my sister as I was drawing a portrait and asked if I was seeing a hint of green in a mans mousy blond hair and the answer was yes so it went in and worked . I am colour blind and have difficulty defining light blue from gray which reflects in the blue chimp on my web site but it works well . I wont let it be my last im going to try lots of things . I have a beautiful moth to draw and a blue metallica teratulla next ow and a horse lol . thanx again x .

i want to do some building i think at some point . i just bought another drawing board for £25 which is a result so i can draw 2 at once rather than stop perhaps .

Hi Np, I love the way you've got all the wrinkles in the leather, great stuff, Derek.

thanx Derek .

They look so comfortable Leigh. How on earth do you manage to produce such great pictures if you have some colour blindness?

erm I don't know though I have a friend who can play most instriments but cant read music .

amazing, those boots were definitely made for walking, lol they are amazing, love them, so real looking do not know how you do it but it is such a fantastic skill you have. Look forward to lots more pictures from you. :O)

well I bought a new drawing board so I can start 2 at once so keep your eyes out thank you so much .

Oh wow, Leigh! I am bowled over by your skill in painting texture - your first still life! You must be very pleased with it. Thank you so much for sharing your pictures. I love to see them.
