"We are going to do a cartoon chair now. Now a regular chair very very simple stick figure chair would be like that. But we are getting more advanced with our three dimensional capabilities. So we are going to make it look a little more realistic. Same with the tabletop we are going to start with what looks like a diamond but think of it as a real square. That is the bottom of the chair that you sit on. Now we are going to have the back of the chair come up like this. Now again because a chair is basically square and every dimension all of our lines are going to be parallel with one another. We are going to make thickness on the bottom like this just like we did with the tabletop. And thickness on the back. You could do whatever you want here depending on how your chair looks. I'm just going to make it simple and have it come down like that. And leg, I'm just going to do straight legs for now. Same as the tabletop. Basically it is a table with just that back added on. A small table with a back. Now as you look at more chairs and you learn oh that is kind of like that. That's kind of like that. You could do fancier things. You could do legs like this. Legs that come out a little diagonally. I am going to make them black so you can see as some chairs have it. You can make the back of your chair slant back a little bit more like a lawn chair. You can play around with it. You can give the chair a back. You can do all sorts of things. The world of 3D is you know just like real life you will get better at it but just keep playing with it and keep looking at things in real life. And look at how the angles come out from the corners and that's how you will just keep progressing. "
