How to Draw Medieval Fortress

Step 1. To draw a medieval fortress, it's best to start with the horizon line as a point of reference. Simply use a 2H or harder pencil, and with the help of a ruler, draw a horizontal line across the lower portion of your page. Draw lightly so that the lines are easy to erase later on after we ink.

Step 2. Let's start from the ground up with this fortress. Our fortress is going to be well protected in that it is built on top of a small rocky island in the ocean. Draw a low level island that is covered with jacked, pointy rocks.

Step 3. Next, draw two tall towers on the right side of the island. These towers will serve as outer supports for the entrance into the fortress. Use your ruler to draw the vertical towers. I wanted to make things a little interesting by making the towers have 6 sides, which means that we can see 3 sides on each tower. The tops of the towers should have a circular look-out platforms with cone shaped rooftops. You can make the rooftops pointy, but I like to cut the tips off and make them blunt.
