How To Draw A Jail

Step 1: Brainstorm Ideas
Before you even pick up a pencil, it’s essential to brainstorm ideas on what you want your jail scene to look like. Think about the size of it, the shape, the surroundings, and even the prisoners. Get creative – maybe you want your jail to be a looming tower, made of cold iron and surrounded by a dark moat, or a small-town prison, filled with life and laughter among the inmates. Place all these ideas onto paper – you can draw a quick sketch or write a list – whatever works for you.
Step 2: Sketch and Outline
Once you know what your jail scene looks like, start sketching it until you get the basic outline down. No one expects you to make the Mona Lisa – it’s just a rough guide. Focus on the bigger items like the walls, the structure of the building, and the little details like doors, windows, or grates.
Step 3: Choose the Colors
Colors communicate a lot, so take time considering what type of mood and tone you want your jail to convey. Are you going for a bright, cheerful atmosphere? Or a dreary, oppressive atmosphere? Whatever you choose, make sure the colors you use “fit” with the idea you have in your head.
Step 4: Add Depth
Your jail is starting to look great! But you can take it a few steps further by adding shadows and depths. The shadows you create can emphasize the structure and make it look more three-dimensional.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
The last thing you need to do is add the finishing touches. This could be fine-tuning the shapes and lines, adding more shading and lighting, or adjusting the colors to make them more vivid. Give your jail as much attention as you want, but make sure you don’t overdo it – sometimes simple is better!
Step 6: Reflection
As you reflect on how your jail turned out, take the time to notice what techniques and techniques helped you achieve the desired result. Did you use a design influences to guide your approach? Did you apply any particular skills to enhance the look of your art piece?
Step 7: Show Off Your Art
All that work paid off – your jail is finished! Take a moment to appreciate your art. How do you feel looking at it? Proud? Accomplished? Share your achievement with friends and family by showcasing your masterpiece on social media. Let the world know that you did this.
Step 8: Take a Breather
Take a break after you’ve completed your jail. Enjoy the accomplishment you brought to life and be proud of the progress you’ve made. Artists rarely get it right the first time, so don’t be discouraged if yours didn’t turn out the way you pictured it. You can always try again.
