Steps

1

Find 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.

Take 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.
