How to Draw a Book

단계별로

1. 단계 1

   중앙에서 짧은 선으로 척추를 그립니다.

   Everything hangs off this. The spine is the hinge, and both page halves are measured from it - which is why drawing it first stops the book coming out bent.

   조심해 Starting with a page and adding the spine afterwards.

   체크 It should be vertical and near the middle of your page.

2. 단계 2

   서로 약간 기울어진 각 페이지의 상단 가장자리를 그립니다.

   These are the edges going away from you, so they converge. Not dramatically - a few degrees is enough. This single detail is what separates a box from a folded rectangle.

   조심해 Drawing them parallel, or worse, diverging.

   체크 Extended, the two lines should eventually meet.

3. 단계 3

   각 페이지를 닫을 때 외부 가장자리가 당신을 향해 돌아오도록 하세요.

   These are the short edges of the covers. Keep them roughly the same length as each other - the two halves of an open book are the same size, and any difference reads as a mistake rather than as perspective.

   조심해 Making one cover visibly longer than the other.

   체크 Both outer edges should be about the same length.

4. 단계 4

   척추의 아래쪽으로 다시 외부 가장자리에 가입.

   This closes the two page shapes. Corners must actually meet - overshoot slightly and let the lines cross rather than aiming to stop exactly on the point, because a crossed corner reads as closed and a gap does not.

   조심해 Stopping just short, leaving four small gaps.

   체크 Every corner should be closed or slightly crossed.

5. 단계 5

   두께를 그립니다 : 각 외부 모서리에서 아래로 짧은 선.

   A book is a solid, not a sheet. These three short verticals turn the flat shape into a box, and they must all be the same length - unequal ones make the book look warped.

   조심해 Making the three drop lines different lengths.

   체크 All three verticals should measure the same.

6. 단계 6

   그 선의 바닥에 가입 하단을 닫습니다.

   Now the box is complete. These lines run parallel to the edges directly above them - if they do not, the thickness of the book changes along its length, which is the classic wobbly-box look.

   조심해 Drawing these at a different angle from the edges above.

   체크 Each bottom edge should run parallel to the one above it.

7. 단계 7

   각 모서리에 두 개 또는 세 개의 짧은 선으로 페이지 스택을 추가합니다.

   Pages read as a stack, not a slab. Two or three lines following the cover edge is enough for the eye to fill in hundreds - drawing more just makes it look hatched.

   조심해 Drawing one hard line, which reads as solid wood.

   체크 You should see distinct layers, not a filled band.

8. 단계 8

   척추 근처의 각 페이지에 약간의 곡선을 그립니다.

   Open pages are not flat - they dip toward the spine. Adding that curve is the difference between an open book and two flat cards taped together, and it takes one stroke each side.

   조심해 Leaving the pages perfectly flat.

   체크 Each page should dip slightly as it approaches the spine.

9. 단계 9

   페이지 각도를 따라 텍스트 줄을 추가합니다.

   Text lines run parallel to the top edge of the page they sit on, which means they are NOT horizontal - they lean with the perspective. Drawing them level is the fastest way to flatten a book you have just built.

   조심해 Drawing the text lines horizontally.

   체크 The text lines should lean the same way as the page's top edge.

10. 단계 10

    책의 측면을 빛으로부터 멀리 떨어뜨려 놓는다.

    Work in one direction rather than scrubbing back and forth. Scrubbing gives an even grey, which is exactly the thing that makes a drawing look flat, so lay the strokes the same way and build the darkness in passes.

    조심해 Being too timid. Beginners routinely stop two or three steps short of dark enough.

    체크 The dark side should be clearly darker than the mid tone, not slightly.

11. 단계 11

    아래의 표면에 그림자를 추가합니다.

    The cast shadow is darkest where it touches the book and softens as it moves away. It also anchors the object to a surface - without it the book floats, however well you have shaded it.

    조심해 Drawing it as an even grey blob detached from the object.

    체크 It should touch the object and be darkest at that contact point.

12. 단계 12

    유지하고 싶은 선을 넘어가서 안내선을 잃어버립니다.

    This is the step that turns a construction drawing into a finished one, and it is the one most people skip. Press harder on the outline and the features; leave the small stuff light. That difference in weight is what makes a drawing look deliberate rather than traced, and it costs thirty seconds.

    조심해 Going over everything at the same weight, which flattens the drawing back out.

    체크 The outline should be clearly darker than the smallest details.
