Drawing
Let the paint dry completely.
Now starts the fun part.
I have chosen small Victorian animals, like those illustrated in the Beatriz Potter books.
If you don’t feel confident enough to invent them, you can copy them from a children’s book. Also you can choose to simplify the animals by painting them slightly more geometric.
If the boy or girl that you are making the chair for has a favourite story you can copy the characters from that store.
Draw with a sharp pencil and if you make a mistake you can erase with a normal eraser.
