YOU MAY PRINT THE PROJECT NOTES BELOW.

The tower is a cylinder made out of stones.

START
Start with a basic cylinder shape, this is a rectangle standing up, but not flat on the top since perspective makes the top looked like a slight curve.

Near the top, the walls bend outward in a flair shape. At the top are cutaways in the walls, draw them like rectangles. The top has arches under the edge. The top of the cutaways slope outward, (so rain will drain down and out.)

Decide where you are going to put any windows and lightly draw them in.

FILLER DETAILS
The stones are wider at the bottom since many castles used stronger types of stone for the base and lighter smaller stones higher up. Draw guidelines across the tower making sure they arch slightly.  Divide the lines into stones by drawing vertical lines between them. Do not make a checker pattern but draw the lines so they skip a row. None of the lines need to be even. The vertical lines are spaced wider apart at the middle and closer together toward the edges so the tower looks round.

EXTRAS
The roof would be made out of wood to give the guards shade. It is a cone, draw it as a triangle with a curved bottom. The curve matches the curve of the tower top. The roof is held up by wooden beams, use straight lines to draw them.

At the top of the tower is the smaller "signal" tower, it is behind the roof. It may have two or three signal flags on it. Draw it with less detail since it is far away.

Add shadow to make the roundness look more believable.

The tower can be by itself, on a rock, connected to a castle wall, or connected to a bridge.
