Drawing like a pro - 119, - Floating books V, final steps of the drawing process. / Libros flotantes V, pasos finales del proceso de dibujo. - (#club100)
We left the drawing at this stage, the book on top is almost finished, so we'll work on the second book in the same way.
Dejamos el dibujo en esta etapa, el libro de arriba está casi terminado, así que trabajaremos en el segundo libro de la misma manera.
As you can see, everything is built with the hatching technique, darkening some areas by increasing the density of the strokes.
Como ves, todo está construido con la técnica de achurado, oscureciendo algunas zonas al aumentar la densidad de los trazos.
In the same way this third book is (almost) finished but with a minor density of strokes to achieve a lighter tone..
De la misma manera este tercer libro está (casi) terminado pero con una menor densidad de trazos para lograr un tono más claro.
Well, imagine the books floating on top of each other, illuminated by the sunlight falling on them as shown by the diagonal lines you see below.
If you've followed my lessons on perspective and casting shadows, you'll understand how this one have been defined.
See: Light and Shadows
Here, the shadow casting on the second book.
Bueno, imagina los libros flotando uno encima del otro, iluminados por la luz del sol que cae sobre ellos como lo muestran las líneas diagonales que ves a continuación.
Si has seguido mis lecciones sobre perspectiva y proyección de sombras, comprenderás cómo se han definido esta.
Ver: Light and Shadows
Aquí, la sombra proyectada sobre el segundo libro.
Same for the shadow cast on the third book. The horizontal "ground" line defines the distance between the books.
Lo mismo para la sombra proyectada en el tercer libro. La línea horizontal de "ground" define la distancia entre los libros.
This is the final result, note that the entire drawing is revised to further darken some areas and lighten others.
Este es el resultado final, ten en cuenta que se revisó todo el dibujo para oscurecer aún más algunas áreas y aclarar otras.
It may not be too much to say that the shadows should be applied evenly and the edge should be a little blurred.
Puede que no esté de más decir que las sombras deben aplicarse de manera uniforme y el borde debe estar un poco difuminado.

I wish you a very nice day and good exercise!
Te deseo un gran día y muy buenos ejercicios!

Also, thanks to @xpilar for making these initiatives possible with their great support.
I like how at the end the books look like, they are all different, the way how you did shading gives an impression of leather, looks so good. Also, thank you for hint how you did the pattern of cover, from initially vertical view and then with perspective. Also, the shadows make the object to float above one above another one :)
Hi Stef, thank you very much for your kind words. I'm happy you liked the drawing.
Wow, it's a perfect shadow class. That's cool. Thank you
Hi, thanks to you for stopping by for your kind comment.
Beautiful as usual.
I love the cast shadows with soft edges. They help so much to see the distance between the books.
Great information.
Thanks Ran for stopping by and for your kind comment.
I enjoyed watching your video clip "Peace Is Over".
Skillful work, respect :)
Thank you very much dear friend. I'm really happy you liked the video.
