I know that I have a reference but I don’t understand how to make it shiny like the reference, please help (also feel free to criticize the shape of the shoe)

So the thing is that on the shoe the pattern is actual texturing. So its not printed on. This definitely is a harder to pull of shoe that personally i would not recommend to someone still trying to figure stuff out

  1. the shoe isn't pointed enough

theres a couple of ways to tackle this:

  1. color it like you would without a lightsource first. regular shoe without texture. then on a multiply layer, you add on the texture. then add on an add layer.

  2. color with the texture on without lighting. so its like part a and b of version 1, but doing 2 steps at once. then on an add layer u can add on the shine
