Designing a shoe for Karim

My first try at shoe designing, I think it is not a great success and i believe i used the wrong medium for it.

Although the Chinese ink is permanent in  quality it is not one hundred percent as one would use Acrylic.Acrylic is more water resistance and brighter in color.

The design itself was to simplistic and organic for a shoe of this nature. Should have spent more time designing a more abstract style; simple and minimal with energetic bold strokes.

Oh well I tried to do it under the worse of scenario; i was tired and burned out after a long day at the Penang Festival.
