1. In photoshop, I used the transform ability to fatten the top of the picture. The scale had it as the top being way larger than the bottom, but also so that at a different angle, the book looked almost 3D.
2. By distorting the image, the resulting anamorphosis (when seen from an angle) appears to almost be 3D. When most pictures are seen, they look flat, 2D, and not life-like. However, change the perspective of the picture and it all changes.
3. When getting ready to draw the picture, it's better to draw a grid, then draw your picture box by box. Then, with colored pencils, I added color and shadows to create the life-like affect. The color values of the book had to match the colors of the picture I printed, but also had to be realistic, something that would trick the brain into thinking, "Ah, yes, that is a book... and it is real."
