Aaaand now for something from me! It's not pony-related, but it took me long enough, and I need to post
something... Anyway, the purpose of this exercise was to explore shapes and negative space, so I drew a chair in 3/4 view, representing the negative space, rather than all the detailed chair lines.

Some things I learned:
- It's important to pick your unit of measure early; I used the back curve of the seat as mine, and in order to get things looking passable I spent a lot of time measuring against it
- It's surprisingly easy to be fooled by your eyes. This is actually why I made rough measurements as I went along - to make sure the curves ended where I thought they ended and that things were remotely in proportion
- Negative space drawing look very different from the object until they're almost done. Yet another reason to make measurements!
Hopefully some actual pony stuff will follow soon-ish.
