Ravens

These shoes are perhaps the most labor-intensive pair I have ever done. I used many many photos of crows and ravens in order to get the feather structure and subtle color variations of the plumage correct. I'm really happy with the final result, particularly the painterly quality of the blue, green, and black on the Raven on the right shoe. These sorts of moments might even fool someone into thinking that I used paint and not marker for this pair.
