How to draw a Kremlin beautifully?

Drawing with a pencil is a great way to get rid of boredom. Everyone can learn this, regardless of gender, social status and age.

Following the step-by-step advice of the master, you can draw almost anything. Today's lesson will teach how to draw a Kremlin.

What it is

The Kremlin is a fortified city in Ancient Russia. To protect themselves from enemies, the townspeople built a fortress wall with sentinel towers and loopholes. Often, it was surrounded by a deep moat to further obstruct the enemy access to the city walls.

Of course, to draw a full-fledged fortress, one lesson is not enough. For this you need to seriously study for more than one year. This same lesson will teach how to draw the Kremlin in its simplified version.

A few steps - and the base of the picture is ready

Let's start the lesson and learn how to draw the Kremlin in stages.

Step 1. First, create a foundation.

To do this, we draw on paper a few non-strict elongated quadrangles, with the first and the third making the same length, the rest - a little narrower already. We crown each top with an onion bulb. Between the first and third towers we put the most important - a quadrangle with a sharp triangular roof decorated with a small onion on top. The bottom of the roof is depicted not as a straight line, but in the form of waves.

Step 2. At this stage, we will draw some details in more detail.

Let's start working with smaller towers. In the middle of each we will depict a wavy line, from which a slightly narrowed flat wall will rise. Dome-bulbs adorn with short spikes. Similarly, we will deal with all the turrets.

If everything is done correctly, then at this stage of the lesson "How to draw a Kremlin" should get such a picture.

Detailing items

Now you know how to draw a Kremlin-base, and you can safely move on to the next step. Everything is ready for working out the details. The bottom of the tower is "lined" with a sharp broken line, on which we will "plant" a rim of two parallel straight lines. In the upper part of the tower, in the form of vertical short strokes, we draw the loophole windows, above them we also represent a double bezel. To make the dome beautiful, you need to decorate it with longitudinal lines curved in the shape of the dome. The picture below shows how the traced tower should look.

Similarly, draw all the small turrets. They all turn out the same.

We came very close to taking up the main tower and finishing the lesson.

The central structure differs in design from all others. The walls are decorated with pairs of wavy lines in the form of fish scales. Under them we will place the double bezel familiar to us. Under the roof itself, the wall will be ringed with a single undulating line. The roof is drawn by straight vertical lines, which at the top will tend to converge at one point.

Remove all unnecessary lines. The picture must match the image below. If everything turned out, then after the endeavor, you have successfully mastered the lesson and know how to draw the Kremlin.

A little color

Knowing how to draw a pencil Kremlin, you can fantasize a little, and with the help of color to give the picture brightness and uniqueness. There are no rules, everything relies only on the imagination and taste of the artist. At us it turned out so.

You can make a color image using pencils, markers, gouache or watercolors. The main thing is more variety. Then it will turn out beautifully.
