A Chair

Draw a chair. Seems like such a simple exercise. This is the one that has stalled me out every time I’ve taken this class. It’s been quite the challenge to sort out all the reasons this exercise was my breaking point five times in the past.

I am thrilled that I found myself out (getting out is one of my obstacles to these exercises) and there was this fabulous chair with no one in it, right across from me, screaming to be drawn and telling me this chair is perfect for this lesson. (Which I am once again behind on for a good three weeks. Stalling out again!)

I am determined to complete all lessons for this run of Foundations, however. Even if it is taking a lot of mental work to sort through all the thoughts, blocks, and things!

My volumes guidelines are not too apparent in set up sketch, but I did draw this as a series of boxes. It really did help get the proportions more accurate.

This feels like a breath through! If nothing else, because the sixth time is the charm in completing this!

All Foundations exercises after this will be new. I’ve always gotten stuck right here, and so I’ve never completed the remaining lessons! I’m determined, however. I may be three weeks behind, but with any luck, getting through this particular block it will now get easier? Especially since I rather love this little chair sketch.
