Hand Drawn: Children’s Shoes, Given Away

drawings of children's shoes, ordered into six rows

This is lovely: illustrator & cartoonist Stephen Collins drew the progression of shoes worn by each of his three kids.

Back in 2020 we had to chuck the kids’ baby shoes out ๐Ÿ˜ฑ, so I decided to keep the first ones and draw the rest, in order, starting with pre-walking socks.

When I look at photos of my kids from when they were younger, my eye is always drawn to their shoes and clothes โ€” some of them are so iconic in my mind they almost function as logos for my kids at different stages.
