Great job! Only one you missed is a wheelchair.

 

[ntl]

Oh, no, Sno! THAT'S "la piece de resistance"
I'm resisting doing it for any number of reasons!
It was in the other room
I ran out of space on those papers
I didn't go to that room yet
I want to move it to a larger room so I can see it all
(I could just draw the arm rest)
I have to learn to draw ellipses first

I love these sketches. I also love chairs. I have the Taschen book by Michae Ochs- "1000 Chairs" For a designer the chair is a right of passage - their signature.

 

[Artyczar]

Yes, wheelchairs often get left out, but I'm glad you're planning on one! I've done a number of sketches of them, and paintings, as well as one with canes and walkers. (Those are a lot easier - )

I love your chairs!

 

[Katie]

I like them - they are a lot harder to do then you would think

 

[joe1It]

nice job, I like them.

 

[ntl]

Bongo, thanks! Those are some nifty chairs!

Arty, Thanks for commenting!

Katie, there's sure a lot of curves and angles...they do get confusing.

Joe1, thanks to you, too!

FOUR MORE!
Again, charcoal and white chalk on newsprint.
Done this morning, July 8, 2020
C&C always welcome.

 

[Artyczar]

I love these! These are all good places to sit alright.

Artyczar, Thanks! Still working on speed as well as reasonable likeness. The wheelchair and the throne took the most time.
Interesting that a "seat" could provide challenges: perspective, lines, details, actual shape, foreshortening...

 

[snoball]

Didn't realize you had added more. These are great. Love the throne, we all have sat there.

 

[Enyaw]

keep that up and people will be calling you an artist ... nice sketching

Good work! Lotsa shapes and spaces in chairs, not an easy subject.
