This article will teach you one way to draw a simple stool. This is not a very advanced way, but people will still admire your work.
Steps
-
1Find the shape of the seat of the stool. Is it square, or rectangular, or a circle? And how do the legs look like? Find the color(s) of the stool, and take note of any interesting colors you may have to make using the colors you already have.
-
2Take your pencil and sketch a very messy, quick once-over of the stool. Now you know the basic shape. Something that helps is to look at the stool for one minute or so, then go into a different room and try to draw a rough sketch of it. You need to know your artwork.Advertisement

3Begin the real thing, after much practice, with base/top/seat of the stool Try to make it three dimensional, so it looks more realistic.

4Move on to the legs of the stool. You can use a ruler to help you, or if you think your up to it, try to make the legs straight by yourself. Pay attention to the background and size.

5Now is your chance to add some color to your picture. Try using different shades of color.
