Another popular way of illustrating footwear is to draw a side view along with a top view toe detail.
These views are particularly useful when drawing or designing a unique heel
that needs to be featured while also needing to show the toe shape or some unique top embellishment.
It is also a useful perspective when a shoe design is asymmetrical.
It is not necessary to draw the entire top of the shoe if the novelty is primarily on the toe section.
