What will I learn?
You'll start by learning the anatomy of a book and how to establish accurate proportions before moving into one-point and two-point perspective construction. From there, you'll tackle closed and open book drawings, mastering page curvature, spine flex, and cover surface details. The course covers light sourcing, value scales, and shading techniques that make every plane read as three-dimensional. You'll also explore material rendering, stylization approaches, color theory, and typography on covers. By the end, you'll have the skills to produce portfolio-ready book illustrations in both traditional and digital media.
