Sharpie Doodles on Canvas Sneakers
So. I had a pretty awesome commission come my way this month. A pretty rad niece who speaks my language (except for that "rad" part, because I'm way olders, haha) wanted Sharpie art on her Converse sneakers.
Blue, hearts, random colors, and random doodles were on her list. And I got to fill in the rest. :) I've custom painted shoes before, but never Sharpied them (and that is probably the only thing I haven't thought to Sharpie doodle on?) But now I'm hooked because it is a LOT easier than painting them! Also not as messy! Expect to see more shoes in the future, but for now, here is a look at this Sharpie shoe transformation.

Materials Used:
1. Before the Sharpie Art
I even remembered to get a "before" photo! Usually I remember that about a third of the way through a project and hate myself.
2. No Turning Back Now!
I admit I stared at the shoes for about 24 hours before I got up the nerve to start drawing. I call that "Blank Notebook Syndrome". The fear that the first mark you make will mess it up forever.
Once those first marks are made though, it's a commitment! 3. Sharpie Stoplight Art
Stoplights are cool. Don't you wish shoes had real traffic lights on them so people wouldn't step on your heels? Or worse, run a shopping cart over your foot!
4. Coloring Around the Eyelets
This is the part where I was super glad I had this color in both a fine point and an ultra fine point. I was able to do the majority of the work with the large coverage pen, and then get up close and personal with the the eyelets using an ultra fine.
This saved me some tricky clean-up later! 5. A Finished Shoe
Outside view of the first finished shoe. I hid a lot of stuff in there, including emojis, a slice of pizza, her initials, and pianos.
6. Detail Work
Work-in-progress. Coloring in the top seams. There was still a long, long way to go on this shoe.
7. Finished Inside
A view of the finished "inside" of the shoe. Next to the emojis, the scales were definitely my favorite thing to draw.
8. Sharpie Shoe Tongues
And a good look at the tongues before they get tucked away. Okay, these were pretty fun to draw too.
If you have a pair of light colored shoes laying around, I highly recommend dressing them up with a little Sharpie art. There are tons of great images on Pinterest and Intagram for inspiration, and it's a fun project to do while watching some television.
That was fun. What's next?

You shoe is beautiful. After you sharpied it did you put anything on top to preserve it.

Did you spray Scotchgard over the shoes when finished

Scotchgard is okay to use to protect the artwork after

No, I didn't use anything on these. They held up fine without it, but some people recommend Scotchgaurd.

They’re gorgeous but how did you do that fine shading? I have Sharpies but have yet to see three shades of one color…or even two

I can't remember which sets of Sharpies I had at the time, but I had three or four shades of some colors (like blue and green). For some of the places on the shoes I overlapped the colors and they sort of blended together, which helped it look more shaded. :)

Beautiful but don't the colors run when wet or when feet sweat?

Spray alcohol on Sharpie Art, stuff gets a beautiful blur. Not on those shoes, they are fine.🎬

So with the shoes getting wet, they will be fine and not run or come off?

No, the markers are VERY permanent. I wore the pair I made for myself until the shoes themselves fell apart. I even put them through the washing machine a few times. The colors faded slightly from continued wear, but same as any clothes or shoes would. The only thing that would make the colors run would be to spill something alcohol based on them (including hand sanitizer or perfumes.) Everyday wet like rain and puddles won't hurt them at all. :)
