Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Medieval Castle
How to Draw a Great Looking Medieval Castle for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin the medieval castle outline by drawing the castle's gates. Start with a three-sided, incomplete rectangle shape.
Draw two "U" shaped arches inside. On the ends of the lines draw small rectangles, then enclose long rectangles beneath them. Use a long line to draw the blocky, zigzagging shape of the top of the wall.
Drawing Step 2
2. Draw a curved line above the arches. Then enclose curved rectangles with wider bases than tops on each side of the gates.
Extend two straight lines from the upper corners of each, forming incomplete trapezoids. Connect them to the gate with straight and blocky zigzag lines.

Whether you're dreaming of a fairytale castle or the scene of a medieval siege, this medieval castle drawing tutorial can help.
Castles proliferated in western Europe from the ninth century onward. They protected kings and other rulers. They had special defenses, like the moat, towers, and drawbridge you see here.
Fairytale castle drawings often include dragons or giants. But real castles defended against knights, archers, and machines called siege engines.
You can draw a knight in armor, ready to defend his castle.
