We Can I Can Draw a Really Good Castle
We're honouring the German language and culture this week in celebration of the launch of the German version of Envato Elements !
The Neuschwanstein castle in Germany is one of the most popular castles in the world, and for a good reason—it was built as an ideal, romanticized castle, designed for looks rather than functionality. Its fairytale look was an inspiration for both the Sleeping Beauty Castle and the Cinderella Castle, and we'll use it in this tutorial, too!
I will show you how to draw a Disney-like castle, commonly called a fantasy castle—based on real medieval fortresses, but modified to simply look cool, often at the expense of actual defensibility. I'll show you how to draw every tower and every window, using as little perspective as possible to keep it easy.

Step 1
First, draw a hill that our castle will be placed upon. Castles were mostly built in hard-to-reach places, so that they were easier to defend. Leave a lot of space for the actual castle on your canvas.
![hill base for a castle](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-1-1.png)
![hill base for a castle](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=630/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-1-1.png)
![hill base for a castle](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-1-1.png)
Step 2
Place a foundation on this hill, just to level the ground.
![foundation of a castle](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-1-2.png)

![foundation of a castle](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-1-2.png)
Step 3
Draw a rectangle on the foundation. Its height will be the height of the outer wall.
![height of the outer wall](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-1-3.png)

Step 4
Draw the diagonals of this rectangle to find the middle line.

Step 5
Add two symmetrical rectangles on the sides—a base for the towers. Mark their middle line.
![two towers base](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-1-5.png)

Step 8
Cross each rectangle with a horizontal line, crossing their borders. Keep it symmetrical.
![cross top of tower with horizontal line](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-1-8.png)

Step 12
Draw a thick border inside the gatehouse wall.
![gatehouse wall border](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-1-12.png)

Step 13
Draw the arch of the gate.
![arch of the gate](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-1-13.png)

Step 14
Draw the small walls protecting the gate from the sides. This will require a little perspective, but not a lot.
![gate side walls](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-1-14.png)

Step 15
Draw a little balcony over the gate.
![balcony sketch](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-1-16.png)

Step 16
Two mini-balconies can be placed on the sides.

Step 17
Cross the tops of the walls with horizontal lines to leave space for the crenellation (the "prongs" of the castle walls and towers). Add a fence in front of the gatehouse.
![prepare base for crenelations](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-1-20.png)

2. How to Draw the Castle Keep
![neuschwanstein castle keep](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-0-3.jpg)
![neuschwanstein castle keep](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=630/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-0-3.jpg)

Step 1
We're going to draw a big, thick tower now. Place it on the right.
![base of a thick tower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-2-1.png)

Step 2
Draw the top of the tower the same way as before.
![top of the tower drawing](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-2-2.png)

Step 3
Draw a narrower tower over it.
![make the tower narrower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-2-3.png)

![make the tower narrower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-2-3.png)
Step 4
Extend the top a little with multiple levels.
![extend the top of the tower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-2-4.png)

Step 5
Draw a short, even narrower tower on top.
![short tower on top](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-2-5.png)

![short tower on top](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-2-5.png)
Step 6
Use it as a base for a conical roof.
![concil roof drawing](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-2-6.png)

![concil roof drawing](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-2-6.png)
Step 7
Not all towers must be round—some can be made on the base of a square or a hexagon. If you want to create a hexagonal tower, draw one of its sides in the middle.
![hexagonal tower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-2-7.png)

3. How to Draw the Main Building of the Castle
![neuschwanstein castle main building](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-0-4.jpg)
![neuschwanstein castle main building](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=630/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-0-4.jpg)

Step 1
The main difference between a fortress and a fantasy castle is that the latter was a residence. Therefore, we need a "normal" building too, outside of all these walls and towers. Sketch it as a thick rectangle around the middle.
![main building sketch](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-3-1.png)

![main building sketch](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-3-1.png)
Step 2
Draw its roof. It's not a conical roof, just a normal roof seen from the front.
![roof seen from the front](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-3-2.png)

Step 3
Add two towers to its sides—mostly for aesthetic purposes.

Step 7
Draw some decoration on the wall under the roof.

4. How to Draw the Castle's Watchtower
![neuschwanstein castle watchtower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-0-5.jpg)
![neuschwanstein castle watchtower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=630/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-0-5.jpg)

Step 1
Let's draw the highest tower now—it will look cool, and it can be justified as a watchtower for the whole castle. Place it between the keep and the main building.
![watchtower sketch](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-4-1.png)

![watchtower sketch](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-4-1.png)
Step 2
Draw the top of the tower... just a little lower than normal.
![top of watchtower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-4-2.png)

![top of watchtower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-4-2.png)
Step 3
Draw another "shelf" below.
![shelf of watchtower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-4-3.png)

![shelf of watchtower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-4-3.png)
Step 4
And one more on top.
![top of watchtower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-4-4.png)

![top of watchtower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-4-4.png)
Step 5
Draw a slightly narrower tower here.
![narrower top of watchtower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-4-5.png)

Step 7
Add a turret to this tower—it will look nice as a decoration, too!
![watchtower turret](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-4-8.png)

5. How to Draw Other Castle Towers
Step 1
To fill the rest of the space, let's add another tower in the background.
![tower in the background](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-5-1.png)

Step 2
Give it another level.
![another level of tower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-5-3.png)

![another level of tower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-5-3.png)
Step 3
A little widening will look cool, too.
![widening of a tower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-5-4.png)

Step 4
Finish it with a roof, as always.
![roof of a tower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-5-5.png)

![roof of a tower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-5-5.png)
Step 5
Add another, even smaller tower in the distance. There are never enough towers in a fantasy castle!
![tower in a distance](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-5-6.png)

![tower in a distance](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-5-6.png)
Step 6
Add the roof of a building hidden behind all these towers.
![roof behind tower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-5-7.png)

![roof behind tower](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-5-7.png)
Step 7
Add a smaller building—maybe a stable?—somewhere on the ground.
![small builidng](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-5-8.png)

6. How to Draw the Castle Stairs
![neuschwanstein catsle stairs](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-0-6.jpg)
![neuschwanstein catsle stairs](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=630/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-0-6.jpg)

Step 1
Let's create nice, long stairs leading to the castle. Sketch their curve first.
![curve of stairs](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-1.png)
![curve of stairs](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=630/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-1.png)
![curve of stairs](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-1.png)
Step 2
"Copy" this curve to the other side.
![copy curve to other side](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-2.png)
![copy curve to other side](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=630/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-2.png)

Step 3
Once again copy the curve, this time below, creating the height of the stone balustrade.
![prepare height of stone ballustrade](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-3.png)
![prepare height of stone ballustrade](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=630/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-3.png)
![prepare height of stone ballustrade](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-3.png)
Step 4
Mark the rhythm of the posts placed along the balustrade.
![mark rhythm of posts](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-4.png)

![mark rhythm of posts](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-4.png)
Step 5
Extend them to the other side.
![cast location of posts to other side](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-5.png)
![cast location of posts to other side](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=630/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-5.png)

Step 6
Draw the height of the posts.
![height of the posts](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-6.png)

Step 7
Extend them to the other side.
![cast height to other side](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-7.png)

Step 8
You can now draw the curve under these side posts.
![finish the curve of stairs](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-8.png)

Step 9
The balustrade has some thickness. Copy each pair of curves a little to the sides to leave space for it.
![add thickness to the balustrade](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-9.png)

Step 10
Draw the posts. Some perspective must be involved here, but the guide lines should support your intuition.
![draw the stair posts](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-10.png)

Step 11
Draw the base of the stairs.
![draw base of stairs](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-11.png)

Step 12
Time for the actual steps! First, mark the distance between the steps. Because the castle is so huge, they must be very small!
![mark castle steps](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-13.png)

![mark castle steps](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-13.png)
Step 13
Extend the steps to the other side.
![draw castle steps](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-14.png)

![draw castle steps](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-6-14.png)
Step 14
Finish the stairs. You only need to draw them to the point where they get covered by the balustrade.
If you want to make the castle more realistic, add one more wall around the hill, with one more gate (a barbican)—this time you can add a defensible drawbridge instead of wide, inviting stairs.

7. How to Draw the Castle Details
Step 1
All the structures are drawn, but they're quite empty. Let's fill them with details! Draw the crenellations on each tower. Draw them as rectangles that get narrower and denser as they get closer to the edge (this applies only to the circular towers).

Step 2
These crenellations have some thickness that is revealed when they're rotated by perspective. Mark it by adding some length to the side of each merlon (the prong)—the narrower the merlon, the greater the length.
![draw side of merlons](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-7-2.png)

Step 3
Draw these sides now.

Step 4
Because the crenellations are extended, they need a support—the corbels. You can draw them by extending the merlons.
![draw castle corbels](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-7-4.png)

![draw castle corbels](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-7-4.png)
Step 5
If you want to draw decorative arches between some corbels, you can define their middle this way first.

Step 6
Draw a line between the crenellations and the corbels to create some more wall space. You can also turn the conical roofs into hexagonal roofs.

Step 7
Time for the windows! Normally a castle wouldn't have too many of them, as they're a vulnerability, but a fantasy castle is supposed to have a lot of them, like a cathedral. Let's make a compromise: put tiny slit-like widows in the fortified structures, and big, decorative windows in the main house and/or high in the towers.
Because windows must be placed regularly, you need to plan their location first. Both horizontally...
![plan windows horizontally](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-7-8.png)

![plan windows horizontally](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=360/uploads/users/108/posts/31502/image/how-to-draw-castle-7-8.png)
... and vertically.

Step 8
You can now add any decorations/additional structures you wish.

8. How to Finish Your Castle Drawing
Step 1
Let's finish it now! Time to look at this mess of lines and find the structures we wanted to draw. You can outline them in the same order as we were sketching them, but it's not necessary. I started with the gatehouse and the outer walls.

Step 7
Finally, draw some trees and clouds to finish this scene.

Step 8
When you're done, erase/remove the sketch and darken the lines of the buildings in the front, to create a sense of depth.
