PRINTABLE LESSON NOTES


BEGINNING
Start simple. If you have some round object trace around it to draw the top of the arch of the door. Use straight lines to draw the rectangle of the door sides and the bottom.

DEVELOPING FORM
Draw a second line around what has been drawn so far so it is an outline, but give it room to draw the bricks of the wall in. Divide this space with lines to mark off where the bricks will be. Outline the areas so they look like bricks with mortar between. them.

Draw a line down the middle to make the two doors.

Draw a line across the top for the top of the door.

Use guidelines to create rows for the bricks in the wall then divide the lines for the bricks. Outline the bricks and erase the guidelines.

Use texture to give the door a weathered wood grain look.

Use guidelines to place the hinges on each side so they are parallel with the hinge on the other side.

These hinges are wrought iron so draw them black and give them curves.

Use guidelines to make the flagstones even and outline the flagstones on the floor.
