Craft
The one thing that I changed was the glare effect on the top and side of the shoe. Instead of having it painted on, I opted to make them shapes with the pen tool, but then used a gradient. The gradient was set to a radial gradient because I did not want to have an area of intense white that was up against the dark laces and overall color of the side of the shoe. The gradient was set to solid, opaque white at the center to completely transparent at the outside. This time around, I included it on the laces. Some problems I faced were that the pen tool created really choppy edges again, and I think that the shoe lost some form because of it. The gradients were all arranged differently to try and capture the shape of the part that it was highlighting but overall they do not harmonize with one another.
Concept
It is an illustration of my shoes, that is it.
Composition
This time arround I think that the background shoe is lost because the glare on the laces distract the eye too much. In fact the eye is lead right to the glare's contrast, specifically with the laces. The form of the image is lost, and it looks less than a shoe. I am dissatisfied with how it turned out.
