Step 1: Start with two short vertical lines with a tiny circle on top for the flagpole.

Step 2: Below, construct a triangular roof.

Step 3: Draw a curved line at the bottom of the roof for its inner edge.

Step 4: Build a tower beneath it with battlements.

Step 5: Next arises the central tower with battlements on its upper side.

Step 6: Complete the base of the central tower.

Step 7: On the right side, make a small, rectangular tower with battlements.

Step 8: Draw a curved line underneath and extend vertical lines to complete the tower.

Step 9: On the left side, create another rectangular tower.

Step 10: The baseline of the tower is drawn.

Step 11: Under the central tower, sketch a big arch for the entrance.

Step 12: Make another arch inside the doorway.

Step 13: Draw tiny horizontal and vertical lines around the arch to show the stone blocks.

Step 14: Add a tall tower on the right side.

Step 15: Now include a tall tower on the left side.

Step 24: Tiny arched windows are added to each tower.

Step 25: Across the castle walls, add small stone blocks.

Step 26:  Draw curved lines with a hook design at one of their ends that indicates the ground surface.

Step 27: Above each curved line draw a cloud-like shape for the bushes.

Step 28: Add details on the castle doors.
