This step by step drawing tutorial will take a look at how to draw a book. Luckily, books are very easy to draw. They are basically a box with details.
Books come in many different variations, so feel free to take these steps and customize them to make your drawing of a book look however you wish. Add some color, a title, make it thinner or thicker, add a book mark, or whatever else you wish.
So get that pencil ready and let’s draw a book.
Step 1
Begin by drawing the top of the book. The book that we’re drawing will be sitting on a table. Notice how the top portion of the book gets smaller as it extends away from the viewer. This is because the book is in 2 point perspective. This means that the edges of the book will not be parallel. Instead, they will eventually meet at a point called a vanishing point. It is important to have these lines like they are in the picture.
Step 2
Now, you can draw the left edge of the book. Draw two lines that come directly down from each of the corners of the book. Then, connect those lines with a straight line.
Step 3
Next we can draw the botom edge of the book. We’ll do this in the same manner that we drew the left side.
Step 4
Now we can draw some of the details on the book. We can make the book look a bit more three dimensional by adding a smaller rectangle on the bottom edge of the book. We can also add a few more lines for the binding, as well as a small curved line for the pages inside of the book.
Step 5
Now we can finish the drawing from the framework that we created in the previous steps. Go over your lines with a darker medium and erase any excess lines that you may have. You can add any details to the book that you like as well.
