How to Draw a Castle for Kids
Would you like to draw a medieval castle easily? Then you are in the right place, in the lesson on how to draw a castle for kids.
In this drawing tutorial, we will teach you how to draw a castle for kids. It consists of several tiers, and its towers are dominated by gabled roofs decorated with flags. We will depict not only the entrance to the premises, but also the loopholes. These are holes in the walls through which the owners of the castle fired at the enemy. At the same time, they served as observation windows. As you already understood, castles were built not only in order to live in them. They were also erected as fortifications that block the enemy’s access to the city and do not allow robbing civilians.
The drawing of the fortress will be of medium complexity, but, despite this, anyone can complete it. Below will be detailed instructions describing each step to complete the drawing.
Time needed: 40 minutes
How to Draw a Castle for Kids
- Draw the roof of the castle entrance.
Draw a straight horizontal line in the center of the sheet. Depict two small lines upward from its corners. Now sketch out the top border of the roof, which is jagged.
- Sketch the outline of the walls of the gate.
Draw a square under the previously drawn roof.
- Draw the gate.
To do this, draw a semi-oval, and in the middle draw some vertical lines to indicate the texture of the wooden gate.
- Draw the side of the castle.
The side of the lock is rectangular. The inner side of the rectangle merges with the contour of the gate wall. And the upper horizontal border is the same broken line as on the roof of the entrance to the fortress.
- Draw the second part.
Draw the second part of the castle in the same way on the other side.
- Details of the walls.
To make the castle look more realistic, paint the texture of the blocks in the form of rectangles on the walls.
- Add tower roofs.
At the top of the sheet, above the castle entrance, draw two triangles. Let one be slightly lower than the other.
- Draw the walls of the towers.
Draw two straight lines from each tower roof downward.
- Add flags.
Starting at the tip of the tower’s roof, draw a short vertical line upward. Draw the same line on the roof of the second tower. Now draw triangles that rest on the poles that you have drawn with your bases, and stretch out to the sides at the corners. These are flags with the coats of arms of famous dynasties.
- Draw the window.
Draw a semi-oval in one of the towers with a flat horizontal line at the bottom.
- Draw two more roofs.
There are still buildings on the territory of the castle, but they are not visible behind the fence. Therefore, on the sides, we add only the roofs of the buildings in the form of triangles.
- Color the drawing.
We shaded our castle in sand, but you can color the walls and roof of your castle in a different color.
We hope that this was a useful and informative lesson for you. Be sure to show your new drawing to friends and family. We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with other drawing lessons for kids.
