Drawing Post 8 – Books on Ice

My first book is Dune, a great Sci Fi book about a desert planets. Sand worms are pretty cool.

My second book is the DND Monster Manual. This one turned out… questionably. The design on the front was rather complicated so I attempted to just replicate the general colors, but that skewed a lot of the shapes and proportions. Still fun to draw out on a picnic table though.

The third book is “Making Comics” by Scott McCloud. I actually borrowed this one from another art teacher (the HARNED sticker on front), but then COVID hit, and I never got a chance to return it. So it’s mine now. Fun to draw too.

  1. Hi Ethan! Looks like this exercise was fun for you and if it was not, you have me convinced as a viewer that you care about these books!! (And that I should read them.) I am excited that you went the extra mile and also drew the environments that surround them! It would be a bit meta if you drew them in an environment depicted in the texts, but I am thinking that they are situated where you are / would be reading them? It is super hard to draw text also in perspective, but I think you did a great job here. I am not leaving a ton of feedback on the perspective aspects of these drawings because is tricky and I think you just have to keep practicing it until it sort of clicks… we can talk more if you have questions, but I also think you got it here! Thanks for your reading recommendations!
