    How do I draw the arms on this chair?
    Community Answer
    If the chair is facing straight ahead then put the arms at an angle inward and then shade in the shadows.

      About This Article

      Article Summary X

      To draw a chair, start by drawing several short, horizontal lines that will become the slats on the back of the chair. Then, attach the ends with two vertical lines that extend down to where the seat will be. Next, draw a rounded square shape, similar to a parallelogram, for the seat of the chair below the back rest. After you’ve added the seat, draw 4 legs extending down from the bottom of it. Finally, add in details, such as wood texture, and color in the drawing. To learn how to make your chair look even more realistic, read on!
