Step by Step Guide
Rain boots are very easy to draw. You only need to get the structure right to draw them accurately. But I understand that’s a lot of you have trouble drawing rain boots. If that is indeed the case you can refer to my drawing tutorial of rain boots. I keep things very easy and simple so that even beginner level artists can draw rain boots with at most utmost ease.
To draw rain boots start from the top. Then approach downwards and do the bottom. Finally color. Add some designs if you want to get creative.
Start with the side
Draw a long neck and a wide sole for the boot.
Complete the outline
Use a light pencil for this.
Start drawing the other boot
Start from the bottom.
Finish the second boot
Complete the outline for the second one.
Add the soles
A second line above the bottom part should do the trick.
Darken the outlines
Use a dark pencil for this.
Add some designs
A few lines will do the trick here.
Draw the back part of the sole
It is drawn a bit wide.
Some more designs
Keep the lines coming.
Final touches
You are almost done.
Coloring time
Give the pair of rain boots some nice colors.

*Please note, I know this is a LOT of supplies. I use them to draw the rain boots as differently as I could. However, you can absolutely use any of the products and adapt it to each style. You can go all out and try each one OR push yourself to create each style with the same medium. Both options offer unique challenges and I would love to see how you adapt them!
Step 1: The Basics
To draw anything, you need to be able to break it down and identify the shapes within. To draw rain boots, start by drawing three lines to make up the boot shaft. Then, add the base of the boot by adding two curved lines and connecting them with a line across the bottom. Next, add the sole by completing the rectangle at the bottom and draw a line at the top of the shaft to show the seam. Finally, give it shape and depth by adding two curved lines for the toe of the boot and customize it by adding pull tabs, buckles or elastic.
Step 2: Color Using ABT PRO Alcohol-Based Markers
One way to bring the rain boot to life is drawing a classic yellow boot using the ABT PRO Alcohol-Based Markers. First, draw a full size rain boot using your MONO Graph Mechanical Pencil. I customized this boot by shortening the shaft and adding a buckle and pull tabs. Then, trace the final sketch with MONO Drawing Pen 03. The water-based ink in the MONO Drawing Pen does not bleed or smear when colored over with the ABT PRO Markers. Next, erase the pencil marks using the MONO Zero Eraser or the MONO Eraser.
Then, use the ABT PRO Alcohol-Based Markers Yellow Tones 5-Pack to color the boot. I layered the colors from light to dark until I was happy with the outcome. Make sure to put a blotter sheet behind your paper as you work. Alcohol-Based Markers can bleed through depending on what paper you choose.
Remember to work slowly when you’re working with the ABT PRO Markers to take full advantage of the controlled ink flow! For more in depth tips on using the ABT PRO Markers, check out my post Getting Started with ABT PRO Alcohol-Based Markers.
