How to Draw A Cartoon Chair from basic rectangles

This tutorial will help you learn to draw a cartoon chair! Drawing a simple chair with a basic perspective is very easy if you take your time and apply the simple tips available in this tutorial.

If you wish to make something more complicated (but just a little more!), you can also try the table tutorial available on this site. But if you rather draw something simple but very effective, just follow the steps below! You can start with the video tutorial and then proceed with the written lesson. :)

Step 1

First, draw two rectangles like shown above to illustrate the two front legs. Don't draw them too much apart from one another.

Step 2

Do the same for the back legs of your chair. However, these new shapes should be on the right and a little higher than the two previous rectangles. It doesn't really matter if your new rectangles aren't exactly positioned as the ones in my example. It will only change the perspective a little and that's not a bad thing!

Step 3

Next, draw the seat of your chair. Of course, it should touch all legs of your chair!

Step 4

Finally, add the back of the chair by drawing two small rectangles (that should be aligned with the back legs) and another shape to form the back itself.

Step 5

And here you have it! A simple chair sketch easily in only five steps!

Step 6

A more challenging drawing would be to add a 3D perspective to your object. You could also try to incorporate a character into the illustration (standing near the chair or sitting on it). These are fun options that are perfect to help you unleash your creativity.

I hope you had fun working with this piece of furniture. Feel free to try more simple images like this one below. Just practice as often as needed to help you increase your drawing abilities. Enjoy! :)
