How to Draw Ballet Slippers

Video Transcript

"Hello I'm Jacklyn Laflamme. I'm a professional artist with jacklynlaflamme.com. In this clip I'm going to show you how to draw ballet slippers. You'll need a sketch book. You'll need some black markers to draw with. We're going to start off up here and we're going to draw the inside of the first slipper. It's almost going to be like a jelly bean shape. Then we're going to take our line and follow it. We're just going to follow that jelly bean shape. Just come around a little bit to create that outer edge of the slipper then we're going to do the second outline for the second slipper and it's going to be kind of a similar shape and we're going to flip around with our pen and do kind of a curve then we're just going to put the back edge of that slipper on. You can just follow the inside here to get the top edge of the slipper and ballet slippers usually have seams at the side so we're just going to do a series of seams here. Then we're going to draw one more line in here and do the seams. Then we're just going to add one swirly line here and this line here, come back and swirl it. You're going to want to touch this edge here and that's going to create the ribbon for the shoe then we do one more quick ribbon over here. Again you can just swirl your ribbon in any direction and then it comes to the edge of the shoe here and then you have a pair of ballet slippers. This has been Jacklyn Laflamme.
