How to Draw a Vampire Castle
Draw a vampire castle in 14 easy steps, about 11 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 hill.
Step 1: The hill
Start low on the left. Draw a wide hill and stop low on the right. Add a ground line.
Tip Leave most of the paper above the hill for the castle and the sky.
Step 2: The tall tower
Start on the hill in the middle. Draw up, across and back down to the hill for a tall tower.
Tip Stop about half way up your paper. The roof needs lots of room.
Step 3: Two side towers
On each side leave a gap. Start on the hill and draw a shorter tower, back down to the hill.
Step 4: Roof bands
On top of each tower draw a flat band that sticks out a little past both sides.
Step 5: Pointed roofs
On each band draw a tall pointed roof like a witch's hat. Make the middle one the tallest.
Tip Each roof is a little wider than its band, with sides that curve in.
Step 6: Walls with teeth
From each side tower draw a wall across to the tall tower, with 2 square teeth on top.
Step 7: Door and windows
Start on the hill. Draw a door with a rainbow top, back to the hill. Add 3 rainbow windows.
Step 8: Winding path
Start at each side of the door. Draw a wiggly line down the hill. Stop at the ground.
Tip The path gets wider as it comes towards you.
Step 9: Full moon
Behind the tallest roof draw a big round moon. Start and stop on the roof.
Step 10: Three bats
In the sky draw 3 bats: 2 pointy ears, 2 pointy wings and a bumpy bottom edge.
Tip Keep the bats away from the roofs and the moon.
Step 11: Glowing yellow
Colour the moon and the 3 windows yellow so they glow.
Step 12: Green hill
Colour the path sandy yellow. Colour the hill green around it.
Step 13: Grey castle
Colour the towers, bands and walls dark grey, around the windows. Colour the door brown.
Step 14: Purple roofs
Colour the 3 pointed roofs purple and the 3 bats black. Your spooky castle is done!
