How to Draw A Castle Step by Step

Step by Step Guide

I know a lot of you are afraid of trying to draw a castle, and you have good reason to feel that way. From a distance, drawing a castle may look difficult. But once you start drawing it, and take a step by step approach to do so, you will feel that it is getting a lot easier. If you are struggling with your castle drawings, you can follow the same stepwise approach that I use to draw my castles.

To draw a castle, you start with a few basic shapes and add to them. The smaller details, like the doors and windows, are drawn with a light pencil. Once the main structure is ready, you can use a darker pencil to sharpen the drawing a bit.

Start with the basics

Draw a line, and a square shape on top of it.

Add the towers

Draw two towers, one on each side of the square shaped wall.

Add the door to the castle

In the middle of the front wall, draw a thumb shaped door.

Add the roof top

A pyramid shaped roof top is added on the castle.

Add a few details

Add some designs on the roof top, and a flag pole on top of it.

Some more towers

Add a couple of more towers at the back. These towers are higher than ones before.

Draw the gate

In front of the door, draw a gate that is half down.

Add the entry door

The front door has another smaller door that is the main entry point into the castle. Draw it with a light pencil.

Do not forget the windows

Add windows to all the towers.

Show some bricks

Rectangle shaped bricks are drawn on some parts of the castle.

Add some more details

We draw a few more bricks sticking out of the walls.

Final touches

Use a sharp pencil to darken the outlines.

Time to color

Give your castle some colors and make it look majestic.
