Boot for walking drawings: First Friday Art

Before going on a long trip, I spent a lot of time shopping for a good boot for walking. Today I’m sharing my pen and ink boot drawings and photos.

While considering different boots, I considered the fit, materials, quality, etc. These Chaco boots seemed to be just what I was looking for. I liked the styling, but also how you can roll up the cuff to keep your ankles warmer in cold weather.

Unfortunately, these boots made a bony bump near my little toe swell up and get sore. Yowie! Since these and other boots regularly caused this problem, I finally decided to do something about it. Now I’m wearing a different kind of boot for walking.

I’ll be wearing this boot for six weeks. During the surgery, the doctor removed the bump and broke and realigned a metatarsal bone in my foot.

Since I’m spending a lot of time looking at this walking boot, I thought I might as well draw it. It reminds me of something out of Robocop or Transformers. Too bad it doesn’t give me superpowers! 😉

I did this drawing as part of the Inktober event. To participate, you draw a picture with pen and ink every day in October based on prompts. The prompt for these drawings was “Boots.”

Do you have artwork you would like to share? Be sure to include the First Friday Art tag.
