How to Draw Bookshelves
Today I want to tell you and show you in detail how to draw bookshelves. I promise that in this lesson you will gain useful skills.
Especially for children and beginner artists, I have created a new lesson in which I will show you how to draw bookshelves. The main feature of this walkthrough will be that it only uses straight lines.
In the process, you can use the tools at hand, but I recommend that you draw all the lines yourself, because this will be an excellent training for you and in the future you will easily draw more complex objects.
You can see that the bookcase has three shelves, each with books. Books are of different sizes and occupy different positions. When you learn how to draw bookshelves, you can apply these skills when creating the interior of a room.
