Draw it step by step

Six steps to a castle

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the big tower

Draw a tall box in the middle of your page. Use a ruler if you like straight lines.

2

Build the walls

A shorter wall on each side of the tower. Cut one square notch in the top of each wall.

3

Add two side towers

A slim tower at each end, a little taller than the walls. Stand them right against the wall.

4

Put on pointy roofs

A tall triangle on every tower, a bit wider than the tower. Make the middle one the tallest.

5

Open a gate and windows

A big arched gate at the bottom with a criss-cross grid inside. Then a small arched window in each tower.

6

Raise the flag

A pole on the tallest roof, a little flag at the top, and a few stones on the walls. Now this castle is yours.

Now draw a castle that floats on a cloud.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper castle into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little flag flutter below is a wink; the real clips go much further.

Ingenious projects that inspire kids to make things — until they find the thing only they could make.
Ages 6–13.

The Animation Studio

Your kid draws a character on paper, tells the story, and watches it star in a real animated film.
