Tips from the show

• If you feel the first layer looks uneven, you can go back and re-ink stencil one to adjust before moving forward.
• You don't have to use all four stages; you can stop at any point for a clean, flat design.
• Swap the final layer to black ink if you want more contrast and impact on the shoe.
