Castle fine ink study

One compact storybook castle with a central arched gate, two round towers and simple pointed roofs, no landscape. Practice clear contours and a few local shadows in fine ink.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main shapes

   Block in the central gatehouse and two tower cylinders.

2. Connect the structure

   Connect the roofs, gate and a few clear window openings.

3. Develop the drawing

   Refine the clear outer contour, add only the most useful interior details and place a few small local shadows. Leave most of the paper open.

A small thing to tryKeep the tower bases on the same ground plane.
