I know this is probably a very simple "baby" type image to most of you but I didn't actually draw the chair, I drew the negative spaces around it and I'm really surprised that it actually came out looking like my dining room chair. Anyway - if you would like to get into drawing, I could certainly recommend this book. He has a great writing style, very friendly and easy going and starts right from real basics.

Now you really have me tempted - I used to be able to draw a bit but it really is one of those things that once you let it go, it goes. That looks good - not sure I could even do that, though, lol. Might go check out this book - thanks for the tip x
Carol, you are so creative and talented! I truly admire you.
I feel the same as you with regard to drawing - it would be a very useful skill to have. I think your chair is very good and maybe I should get hold a copy of that book.
The book sounds intriguing. Love your pic and your pages below are fabulous. Tracy x
I wish I could draw too, Carol. This is great - mine wouldn't even look like a chair. Think I'll stick with the stamps. lol
Hmmm...well, well, well. Maybe I will give it a go, too? ;)) Love the chair! x
Fabulous! Can't wait to see where your book takes you in your art!
Love the way your chair has turned out Carol. Am sure you are going to have a lot of fun with this book. Enjoy the weekend. Annette x
Just ordered a copy of that book Carol. You are such a temptress!!
Ooooooooo Carol,I love how your space around the chair has made it appear on the page. That's fabulous!
fab chair! Can see you translating this into your fabric and using your soldering tool to remove the chair! I love this book; another great, great book for fabulous drawing exercises is Drawing Lab by Carla Sonheim - again, lots of activities to get you drawing without that critical voice getting in the way!
This is brilliant, I still can't draw for toffee x
Glad you are giving it a go ..... who's judging anyway ?
Great chair Carol. Glad you've found a book to help you progress. Can't wait to see what you do next.
