Yep. Orange marmalade. Just like the book.

Thanks! Glad you think so!

Do you have a reference so I can see how it's supposed to look like?

It's just difficult to make any comments without a reference.

Though I can say that the books, jar, clock, etc don't look in perspective with whatever they're standing on. Then again, maybe it's supposed to look like that, which is why I asked.

I did ask how rounded walls worked last blog.

So uh, how do I fix it?

To be honest, those curved paths you drew look fine. It's just that the books and other stuff on top of them don't look right.

With rounded walls I've seen people just draw a curve from the beginning. And I've also seen them draw straight lines at first close to the angle they want the curve to be. I like the second option since it gives me easy lines to follow, and then I make it a little curvy. That's what I did for the cliffs here:

Everything for the cliffs was a straight line at first, and then I just made things a bit curvy. As for the books... well, for one, the horizon line appears high up (since the curved paths are curving up), so we should see the top of the books, at least a bit. As for the shape of the books, the ones in the middle should appear bigger since they're closer to us, just like the curved paths appear bigger in the middle.

An easy way to do this is to treat the top of the books like the curved paths. Instead of a curve/angle pointing downwards, just trace a curve/angle pointing upwards so you have the size of your books. Using this pic as an example:

Imagine the sidewalk as your curved path. The rooftops of the buildings are the tops of your books. Honestly, you could treat your books and other objects as little buildings like in the pic here. Do note that we don't see the actual rooftops of the buildings here since they're above the horizon line (versus the tops of your books, which are below your horizon line).

Hopefully this didn't just confuse the hell out of you haha. Learning perspective honestly makes stuff like this a piece of cake and gets rid of most of the guesswork.
