Stories Beneath the Sole

Good morning Great Hivers of the sketchbook community.
I bring to you another nice recent artwork of mine.
This drawing captures the quiet strength of simplicity. I wanted to take something as ordinary as a sandal and breathe life into it with shadows and strokes. Every curve of the strap, every crease of the sole, and the soft interplay of light and shade speaks of wear, of journeys taken, and of the comfort found in the familiar.
To me, it isn't just a sandal- it's a silent witness to steps, stories, and path untold.

Medium: 12B sketch pencil on a sketch pad.
