Draw a lateral line connecting all four vertical lines in the middle. This would look like a parallelogram.

Draw a square on top of the parallelogram. Darken the vertical lines below the parallelogram this will serve as the chair’s legs.

Add volume to the outline you made.

Draw swirls using curved lines on the chair to make it look like wood.

Color your drawing.

A Basic Chair

Sample basic chair.

Start drawing the back portion of the chair. At first, it will just look like a bunch of horizontal lines.

Draw the frame of the chair back so it connects to the previous lines you drew representing the back rest.

Finish drawing the rest of the backrest. Now it's time to move on to the seat portion.

Start drawing the seat.

Next, draw the chair's legs at the bottom of the chair's seat. The chair is beginning to come together now.

Next, draw in any details you may want to add to your chair such as wood textures.

Lastly, color your chair with the medium of choice if you wish.
