Sometimes, when inspiration strikes, you just have to keep working until the wee hours of the morning. This particular pair of white children’s Keds were created for Natalia Elise, a little girl who loves, well, everything. I was given examples of her favorite things and started plotting out the sketch in my magic blue marker. Then, the time came to sit and start to color. All together, the artwork took about four hours straight of labor. I surprised myself with how well they turned out.
