How to Draw a Book

A Closed Book

Draw a rectangle tilted to the right. Draw straight lines from the vertices of the rectangle. Each vertical line must be of the same length.

Draw another rectangle with the tips of those vertical lines as vertices of the second rectangle.

Draw 4 curves, concave to the right, that connect the upper and lower rectangle through their corners.

Draw a small rectangle at the center of the upper rectangle. Draw straight lines in the edges to indicate bound pages.

Refine, then trace with a pen, and erase unnecessary lines.

Color to your liking!

An Open Book

Draw a trapezoid and draw a vertical line at the middle that connects the two bases.

Draw inner border lines to the three sides of the trapezoid. Draw diagonal lines from the bottom vertices to the upper midpoint.

Draw a square from extending the lines from the vertices.

Add the detail of curves to resemble like an open book.

Draw partial straight lines in the edges to indicate collected pages.

Trace with a pen and erase unnecessary lines.
