the ladder backs

          The first thing to catch my eye here was the double diamond shape made by the highlight on the top of the two front legs together in the center of the left drawing.  I could have caught that with out doing the chairs, but I got distracted by the lights and shadows of the "ladder backs".
             
         These were Kim's new chairs.  Not really new; not even terribly recent for her, as she found them used a few months before we showed up for Thanksgiving.  The armchair I did a little more squat than is actual. You may need to click on the post to actually see the 2nd drawing.  In the drawing of the 2 chairs I was more intent on showing the length of the back, which of course I over did there.  In the second it is understated.
          Both of these drawings are done in a mid sized format with .9 mm lead.
