How to Draw a High-Heel Shoe · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: The shoe top
Start at the pointy toe and draw a long, gentle curve that rises over the top of the foot, dips a little in the middle, then sweeps up toward the tall back of the shoe.
Step 2: The back edge
Starting at the highest point of the top line, draw a curve that bends down and around the back of the shoe. Then keep going straight down to make the back edge of the heel.
Step 3: The sole
Begin at the toe and draw a rounded curve along the bottom of the shoe. Let it climb up in a long slope to meet the back edge a little below where it starts to go straight.
Step 4: The first bow loop
Above the shoe, near the dip in the top line, draw a small rounded teardrop loop.
Step 5: The inside curve
Inside the shoe, draw one long curved line that follows the shape of the top edge. Start near the top of the back and sweep it down and forward, stopping in the middle of the shoe.
Step 6: Second loop and heel
Draw a second teardrop loop right next to the first, on its left side. Then draw the front edge of the heel: a straight line down from the sole, with a short flat line across the bottom to the back edge.
Step 7: The bow knot
Draw a tiny rounded knot in the middle, where the two loops meet, to tie the bow together.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a high-heel shoe
- Draw the top curve of the shoe slowly. It should dip gently in the middle and then climb toward the back, like a small hill.
- Make the heel taller than it is wide, and keep its two sides close to straight so it looks sturdy.
- Keep both bow loops about the same size so they look like matching wings, then tie them with the little knot.
