Male Footwear


UTILITY bOOT


Draw a circle for the knee
and a triangle for the foot.
Join these with a vertical
and add another vertical
for the upper leg.


Now add the trouser-
covered leg, with
fabric bunching around
the knee and tucked
into the boot.

Create the basic shape
of the three-quarter
boot.

Define the sole, heel
guard, and toecap of
the boot, and add some
detailing to the top.

Build up some shading on
the boot. Shade the sole and
around the middle of the
side to round out the shape,
making the boot look more
realistic.

This is a robust-looking functional boot, with a practical flat sole and reinforced toe
and heel parts. It would be suitable for a military uniform or for a motorcycle rider,
and would suit either a male or female foot. The loose folds around the lip indicate
that the trousers are tucked inside the boot.
