Question

How does one make them look so perfect?

Community Answer

Feel free to use a ruler, but remember nothing is perfect so do your best. If you still don't like it you can become better, practice makes perfect.

How do I put landscape around it?

Question

How do I make the lines that are "bricks" in the drawing?

Community Answer

Try sketching them in lightly with a regular pencil. If you want them to be very straight, use a ruler or another flat, straight-edged object to help you.

How do I add an another tower in the middle?

With the two rectangles beside it make them a little higher than the middle tower.

Question

Do I have to add bricks to make the tower look realistic or can I use other patterns?

Community Answer

You can use whatever patterns you like - it's your castle after all. Bricks would probably look the most realistic, but your drawing doesn't have to be realistic if you don't want it to be.

Question

How can I make my flags look real when drawing a medieval castle?

Community Answer

Add curves and shadows to your flags to make them look wrinkled, and adjust the way they are flying based on what you choose to be the direction of wind.

Question

How do I make my drawn medieval castle look more realistic?

Community Answer

Make it look like the terrain is behind the castle by adding depth. Shade around the edges of the castle and around the bottom, making it look as if it is casting a shadow.

Question

How can I draw this in 3D?

Brett Gilbert

Top Answerer

Try drawing it an angle instead of from the front. Make the back end of the castle visible, or at least the sides. If you give the drawing a little depth this way, it will look less flat.

Question

What texture should I use for the castle?

War thunder player

Community Answer

Use a brick texture, it goes the best with the castle. Or use wood, as early castles were made out of wood.

Question

How do I colour well?

Rainy

Top Answerer

Use a very small circular motion without picking up your pencil between circles. This is the best way to avoid leaving white spaces in your coloring.

Question

How do you draw the flags?

Rainy

Top Answerer

Draw two straight, parallel lines for the pole, and connect them with small lines or curves at the ends. Then draw the fabric part of the flag -- for a simple style, you can make it a rectangle. For a more realistic style, try using different curves and wrinkles to show the flag waving in the wind.
