How To Draw A Village on a Distant Hill.
This is a free printable worksheet and drawing lesson. The young artist or beginner will find it gives some challenge to their landscapes.
I first drew this village as a part of a comic book I am helping to write and illustrate. I thought it would make an interesting drawing project for a young artist. It is a simple project and ideal for young artists or for extra drawing practice.SCROLL DOWN TO ACCESS THE FREE PDF.

BEGINNING
Use a few lines to draw a very simple landscape. Here we are drawing meadows and a hill for the village. The hills in the distance are closer together and the hills in the foreground are farther apart.
Be sure to have one big hill for the village.
Make the road that leads to the village with a few zigzags or curves- a straight road is boring.
Old villages had a stone wall around them like a fort for protection. Use a few lines to draw the village wall like a rectangle coming up from the lower hills. Add towers to the village walls.
HOUSES
Some houses are outside the wall but be careful to make sure they are smaller than the wall and be sure to leave the wall showing above those houses.
Use straight lines to make squares and rectangles and parallelograms to create houses. Draw the houses from the corner and not the full side view it is more interesting.
The houses closest to you are the lowest ones. Start with the lowest houses first like an uneven row. Then draw the next row above so they are behind the second row. The higher up the hill the less of the side of the houses you see and more of the roofs are visible. Keep adding more rows until you cover the hill. Have some houses facing one way and some facing another.
Develop the landscape with trees and bushes on the ridges of the hills. Use bushes or stone walls or fences beside the road that leads to the village. The bushes in the foreground will be darker and with more detail. The bushes in the distance will be lighter and drawn simply.
Add towers to the village walls.
When you think you have put in all the houses you can then look at it again and see if you can put in some more. This is hard work and takes patience but it will look good if you do.
Use dots and dashes to make rows for the crops in the fields. Make the rows go in different directions from one field to the next.
