A little help needed

*delurks* Hello everyone.
I've been diddling and doodling off and on for a while, to some success,
but now I've run into something that I think I need a little bit of help
with. In the image following, I want it to look as though someone is
sitting in the middle chair-- it's really just the legs, but I have a
hard time coming up with a way that doesn't clutter the picture. All
helpful diddles appreciated!

The ;;;;; at the top is the hair sticking out over the monitor. ;P So the chair is actually on the other side of the table, and only the legs would be visible, from the front (which is the part giving me trouble). But thanks for the input! -- \\ Jan Willms Khamura (''> kha...@jointhesaga.com <-') "The World's still turning?" ^^ "The World's still turning."
