When rendering sequins or any kind of embellishment on footwear, it is important to keep the separation of the bangle from the shoe façade and also to give it a sense of surface when it comes to the sparkle.

DRAWING TIP: When drawing sequins, use a circle guide to assure clean, round, hard edges.

Initial sketch and lay in

STEP 1– Begin by drawing your edge line with colored pencil.
This line should represent the shape and size of the sequins.
Lay in your shadow forms, and begin to draw the sequins in color.
Keep the shapes round on the front surfaces and ellipse the sequins that wrap around the edges.
Try to represent three values: dark (the reflective darks ), medium (the sequin’s local color), and light (the reflective lights).
