Day six: vans shoe contest

My shoe design was picked out of both classes to transfer onto the shoe. I was given the shoes and fabric sharpies as well as normal sharpies. One struggle I faced was keeping my shoe clean. The tape measure I was using kept smearing the sharpie upwards when I scooted it up. I resolved that problem with chemical cleaner and a paper towel. It was tedious work having to wipe the tape measure after every line but it ultimately saved my shoe from sharpie mishaps. 
Other than that, I transferred my design successfully. I brought the shoes home to finish them sooner

The diamond design in the front panel was horribly messed up, geometrically. I opted to color the design in to take away from the mistake. 
My ruler moved out of its parallel positioning; that really pissed me off..
Both shoes together
A tip I'd teach and advise you to do as well is to try stuffing the shoe with tissue. It helps hold the form of the shoe and gives you a harder surface to work on. 

And my final results,
