How to Draw Books for Kids
- Draw the book spread.
To simplify the first step, imagine that two birds flying one after the other are drawn in the form of a checkmark. Connect the ends of the “wings” with oblique lines.
- Draw the middle of the fold of the pages.
Mark this with a slash in the middle.
- Draw the book block and its bottom cutouts.
On the right side of the volume, draw another slope at the bottom. Connect its ends to the ends of the first line. You will receive a book block. Its lower cuts are easy to depict—draw a couple of bends below the spread and tie them with a book. From the ends of the pages to the folds, draw “jagged” lines — these are pages stacked together.
- Draw the spine and pages.
Place the literary spine triangle between the bottom notches. The two lines on each bottom edge represent the pages.
- Draw the edges of the lid.
Step back a distance and repeat the outline of the parts already depicted.
- Draw the outline of the second book.
First, draw an obtuse angle on the side of the sheet. Then continue moving down, then horizontally in a smooth line. Draw a slash from it. Finish this part of the pattern with a wavy thread.
- Draw the cover, spine, and back of the cover.
Draw a corner inside the second volume and continue it with a smooth arc downward. Then again draw a corner up from it. The inside of the book is ready.
- Draw the pages.
On the block and bottom edge, draw straight lines—two and three, respectively. From the cover, draw a wavy line down to the back of the cover, representing the total number of pages.
- Draw the outline of the third book.
Here you need to repeat the steps from the sixth step. Note, however, that the top of the tome is hidden under the second tome lying on it—it is not needed here.
- Details of the third book.
Draw two slanted lines at the top to indicate the angle. Next, we lower the arc. Draw an angle from it, identical to the one previously drawn.
- Draw the pages.
Add sheets in the same way as in previous books.
- Color the drawing.
In our example, we have three books of different colors—red, green and blue. You can color them in the same way, or get creative and make them in other colors.
