Victorian boots pencil drawing

This drawing seemed a bit boring as a copy from the outline one, and I thought I'd do something different with it, because it wasn't glossy like the high heels or graphic like the boots, but kind of old and grubby - so I got a tiny soft paintbrush and went over it with charcoal, dabbing it on and spreading it in flares - I rubbed some out for highlights. It gives an interesting and different impression of the material of the boots, but some of the detail gets a bit lost in the darker smudges.
