"Over the years I've gotten repeated requests," writes ex-Nike designer Michael DiTullo, "to create a demo video for this very specific perspective view that I often sketch in footwear."

"It is a slightly tipped view that shows the outsole and lateral view at the same time. It is a super fun sketch because it is dynamic and at the same time shows the three dimensionality of the design, how elements wrap around, vs. the typical orthographic views that are more common in footwear design. While it doesn't replace those views it is a fun sketch to augment a presentation or explore a design more fully."

"It is a but tricky to pull off though, footwear being such an organic product. I start with a modified 2-point perspective with the vanishing points arranged vertically. Then a construction box showing the bounds of the design that I sculpt a foot form into. From there I start exploring the design and end with a clean overlay."
