Hello. It's Laurel again. The fashion expert. We are on our last type or style of platform shoe right now. I'm going to show you how to do, this again is my name for it, but I just call these my two tone platform pumps. The two tones come from, in reality, the construction of the shoe would be one level of platform, two level of platform. And that's where the two tone platform comes in. You could have the two platforms there in the same color. I just did it like this in order to show you the fact that I double stacked the platform. And this is one of those things that totally takes you anywhere you want to go. You can figure, you can start with this and then decide you want to do three, you decide you want to do four. Whatever it is that makes it your design. But I am going to now show you how to draw this which is just basic two tone platform pump and we're going to get going on that right now. And start with outlining the bottom of the foot again. Always, always, always. I just, well maybe not for you, but for me that's where I have to start. That helps me focus my thoughts and then I decide how thick I want each of my platform stacks to be. I'll make these really exaggerated. And this is looking a little bit ugly but again you have to refine. You're going to refine, refine, refine. If I teach you nothing, I will teach you that you are going to draw everything a zilliondy billiondy times before you're through. And then obviously since I call them two tone you want to show the two different tones. And there you go. We have a raspberry watermelony summery looking two tone platform pump.
