How to draw Cathedral with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Simple drawing for kids and beginners.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1. Outline
Draw three connected rectangles, with the middle rectangle being larger than the others. Outline two diagonal lines in each center crossing. Find the vertices of the bell tower by drawing vertical lines through the center of each X.
Extend these vertical lines past the vertices of the rectangle. Draw a triangle and a rectangle on the left rectangle and a triangle on both the center and right rectangles. Extend a line through the center of the middle triangle.
Step 2. Turret and foundation
Divide each triangle into quarters with lines starting at the vertex. Draw a horizontal line on the central triangle to form a cross. Add V shapes and lines to the left triangle to form the turret.
Define the surface with double horizontal lines as shown. Extend two short diagonal lines from the bottom corners of the building. Connect them with a horizontal line.
Step 3. Column
Add columns with single, double and triple vertical lines. The top of the columns have an odd U-shape. Draw a long line and a short line under the turret. Add two vertical lines under the right steeple. Sketch a horizontal line through the lower left columns.
Step 4. Dome
On the left hand side of the cathedral, draw double domes. End the diagonal with a short vertical line. Sketch the double arches on the central part of the building. Detail them with curves. Add a wheel shape with spokes in the center and add curly lines underneath. Top with a V shape.
On the right hand side of the cathedral, draw a double arch and two sets of arches with eccentric tops. Add U-shaped lines to two of them. Sketch a zigzag line for the ground behind the church. Finish the steps with long horizontal lines with the ends pointing downwards.
Step 5. Shade
Cover the roof with diagonal lines and the windows with diagonal lines. Add a connecting half circle to the front of the church.
Your drawing is done! Even if you don’t get it right the first time, keep practicing until you’re satisfied with your drawing.
