GRID STEP. You can print out the base construction lines and start drawing on tracing paper, or you can draw the grid layout yourself using the following steps.1) Draw a rectangle that will define the conditional proportions and boundaries of the chosen drawing. 2) From the middle of the rectangle, draw one vertical and one horizontal line equally dividing the shape. 3) Draw another horizontal line equally dividing the upper half of the rectangle. Similarly, draw a horizontal line equally dividing the bottom half of the rectangle. 4) Draw a vertical line equally dividing the left half of the rectangle. Similarly, draw a vertical line equally dividing the right half of the rectangle.

STEP 1. Mark off the width and height of the picture. Show with light lines the main proportions of the hiking boot.

STEP 2. Outline its shape.

STEP 3. Draw out the upper part of the boot.

STEP 4. Define the place for a tongue and draw more carefully a toe box shape.

STEP 5. Add soles.

STEP 6. Draw some additional lines to show the upper. Outline boot rings.

STEP 7. Draw lines to indicate the outsoles. Delineate a collar and laces.

STEP 8. Contour, trying to vary the thickness and blackness of the line. Draw more details and the ground. Erase all guidelines.
