Here's a great way of drawing a huge, medieval castle.
You will need:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start with a square for the front wall. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add on two rectangles for towers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Draw a triangle on the top of each, for a roof. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, draw in an arched entrance. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's the basic castle shape - but it's very boring. So... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...round off the bottoms of the towers and the roofs of the towers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Split the towers... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and then add battlements to the front wall. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add in lots of little windows... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...they make the castle look bigger! In fact, the smaller the windows, the bigger the castle looks. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add in a portcullis... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and some shading to the towers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, draw on flags at the top of the towers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some of the biggest castles took years and years to build - they just kept adding extra bits over the years. So do the same - add in more walls and towers and turrets... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...more windows, to make it look bigger... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and lots of shading. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can make it look even bigger by drawing another castle inside the outer walls of the first! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keep adding bits on. How about a few grand staircases, here and there. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
And a drawbridge and moat. |

Colouring in is up to you. This one is painted with watercolours. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
This one has a scary, haunted theme. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
And this one uses pastel colours to give a fairytale castle! Try it yourself! |
