03 MINIATURE SODA CAP CHAIR
Hello everyone! I was thrilled to learn about this month's pen contest. For this entry, I’ll be drawing a miniature chair made from a soda bottle cap. Here, I am using a blue 0.5mm pen and a sheet of A6 paper (105 x 148 mm).
- In the initial stage, I started sketching a chair using bottle caps for the seat, soda can tabs for the backrest, and bamboo skewers for the legs.
- Next, I created light shading by tilting the pen as much as possible to achieve a delicate effect for the shadows on the chair and the floor.
And here is the final result.

Que detalle el de las pestañas de latas como respaldo y los palillos de bambú para las patas, ahí está el trabajo de observación. Lo que aprendí es que inclinar el bolígrafo para lograr esas sombras suaves es lo que le da volumen real a la pieza. ¿Cuánto tiempo te llevó esa etapa de sombreado?
It didn't take long—just a few minutes.
Wow, this is really a very smart idea. I had a hard time to think out something with 'miniature'. Finally finished I forgot to post 🤣

Very creative!
Thank you for your support.
If anyone has ever tried to create a chair out of a bottle cap, you’ve succeeded better than anyone else! :)
That is what is known as a miniature—a small-scale object—and I wondered how to draw it so that people would immediately perceive the subject as something tiny. So, I created a chair out of a bottle cap; if I had simply drawn it in the usual way, there would have been no difference.
Thanks for explaining the essence of the vignette! :)
You're welcome, and thank you for the support.
Do not mention it :)

Nice smiley... did you draw it yourself? :)
Yes, of course, I was the one who drew it.
