This actually turned out to be my best piece to date. Definitely worked the hardest on this class assignment out of any other drawing I have done.

But why Converses, you may ask? Well if you've noticed in a lot of my earlier drawings from around 2003-2005 in Deviantart galleries or my earlier stuff from before I registered, a lot of my characters wore converse-style shoes, but my weakness in drawing those were the rendering of the laces and the lace holes and since I still draw converses on most of my characters, I might as well learn to draw one from life and kill two birds with one stone.

Took me about two weeks to finish this. There's hella parts I could still improve on, but nonetheless, I love this picture.

This was done solely with charcoal pencil with a kneaded eraser to lighten some parts up on Strathmore drawing paper.

Only thing I would say to improve on is the heel is a little too straight and ridgid. Converse have a slightly more rounded heel.
Very nice shading though. :]
