How to Draw the Tower of London
Draw the Tower of London in 11 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the square keep.
Step 1: The square keep
In the middle, draw a big square tower with square teeth along the top, standing on the ground.
Tip A big square box with an onion-capped turret at each corner.
Step 2: Two corner turrets
At each side of the keep, draw a taller thin tower standing on the ground, overlapping the keep's edge.
Step 3: Two back turrets
Draw 2 more turret tops peeking over the teeth: start on the teeth, go up, across, down to the teeth.
Step 4: Onion caps
Draw an onion cap on each turret, from the left edge up to a point and down to the right.
Tip An onion cap bulges out first, then pinches in to the point.
Step 5: The flag
From the left turret's point draw a pole straight up, stopping high above. Add a flag flying right.
Step 6: Door and windows
Draw an arched door, a window each side of it, 3 windows higher up and 1 in each front turret.
Step 7: The ground
Draw the ground line from the turrets out to each edge, with a few grass blades near each edge.
Step 8: Bushes and a cloud
Draw a bumpy bush on the ground at each side, away from the turrets, and a puffy cloud top left.
Step 9: Cream stone
Colour the keep and all four turrets cream, going round the door and windows.
Step 10: Slate caps, red flag
Colour the 4 onion caps slate, and the flag and the door red.
Step 11: Sky windows, green bushes
Colour the windows sky blue, the bushes green, the cloud white. Go over your lines and you're done!
