EDM Challenge #30 Draw a chair. This is the oldest, rattiest chair in my house, but also the only one I can actually say anything about. My mom and step-dad got this chair sometime in the 80s, I believe. It had already been worked over pretty well by several cats by the time I took it with me after college, and since then our two cats have had quite a time with it. It's got rips and stains and there are bits of fluff and string hanging from the back where the cats really work at it, but I still really like it. When we finally get rid of it (and I know that eventually we'll have to), I'll be rather sad to see it go.
I had such a good time with the charcoal pencil a couple of days ago that I decided to do this one in charcoal, too. It's a beige chair with light wood, so color wouldn't really add all that much. This is a "hard" charcoal pencil, whereas the appliance challenge was drawn with a "soft" pencil. I'm not really sure which I prefer. This kind of felt like a messy #2 pencil, and I think I prefer my charcoal a bit...fluffier. But I do like the result. My charcoal pencils also need sharpening and I have no idea how to go about that. Any suggestions?
Ahh the well used chair, I think its something we all have somewhere in our homes... My brother-in-law has a very old chair and that poor thing rests on two books as one of its legs are missing in action. Great sketch though!!!!
ReplyDeleteI also looked through some of your other posts, I like the water tower, fun colours for it
And here I thought destructive cats were the worst of my problems! I'll keep the book trick in mind...someday, perhaps. Thank you for looking through my drawings! Keeping this blog has been a lot of fun.
