New boot top design sent to client for approval today. Wish me luck.

I want to point out that landscape designs on a cowboy boot top introduce a unique problem — there’s no vanishing point, and there cannot be one. The design must match and meet at the side seams, which means the perspective is continually “I’m standing in front of this element, I’m standing in front of this element…” all the way around the design. I always wonder if I chose an art form that’s very flat because I’m terrible at light, shadow, and perspective, or if I’m terrible at them because I chose a medium that’s limited in that regard.
