I had spent a couple of hours drawing the lower shelf and decided that they did not look in proportion to the rest so had to redraw them. I shortened them a little but just brought the toes out of the frame a fraction. I have decided to let the shoes overlap the frame on the bottom and both sides which will create the effect of making the whole array feel closer to the viewer. The drawing is still a little difficult to see in this photograph but I do not like to put too much graphite on the paper before I start to paint. It can tend to dirty the paper and affect the colour.
