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.

Gusuzuma Starting with a page and adding the spine afterwards.

Kugenzura... It should be vertical and near the middle of your page.
Icyiciro 2

i Hejuru: Impera Bya Ipaji:,.

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.

Gusuzuma Drawing them parallel, or worse, diverging.

Kugenzura... Extended, the two lines should eventually meet.
Icyiciro 3

Funga Ipaji: Na: Inyuma Impera:.

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.

Gusuzuma Making one cover visibly longer than the other.

Kugenzura... Both outer edges should be about the same length.
Icyiciro 4

i external Inyuma Kuri i Hasi: Bya i.

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.

Gusuzuma Stopping just short, leaving four small gaps.

Kugenzura... Every corner should be closed or slightly crossed.
Icyiciro 5

i: BIHUYE Imirongo Hasi Kuva: Inyuma Inguni.

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.

Gusuzuma Making the three drop lines different lengths.

Kugenzura... All three verticals should measure the same.
Icyiciro 6

i Hasi: Bya Imirongo Kuri Funga i.

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.

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

Kugenzura... Each bottom edge should run parallel to the one above it.
Icyiciro 7

i Ipaji: Nka Kabiri Cyangwa BIHUYE Imirongo ku Impera:.

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.

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

Kugenzura... You should see distinct layers, not a filled band.
Icyiciro 8

Draw a slight curve into each page near the spine.

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.

Gusuzuma Leaving the pages perfectly flat.

Kugenzura... Each page should dip slightly as it approaches the spine.
Icyiciro 9

Imirongo Bya Umwandiko, i Ipaji: Imfuruka.

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.

Gusuzuma Drawing the text lines horizontally.

Kugenzura... The text lines should lean the same way as the page's top edge.
Icyiciro 10

i Bya i Igitabo Kuva: i Ikimenyetso.

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.

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

Kugenzura... The dark side should be clearly darker than the mid tone, not slightly.
Icyiciro 11

i Igicucu ku i Ubuso Hasi:.

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.

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

Kugenzura... It should touch the object and be darkest at that contact point.
Icyiciro 12

ku i Imirongo Kuri, na i.

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.

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

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