Hogwarts Crest Drawing in Just 6 Easy Steps!
The world of the Harry Potter series is a magical one indeed!
The Hogwarts crest has the symbols of the four Hogwarts houses, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.
How to Draw The Hogwarts Crest Lets Get Started!
We would highly recommend drawing the general shape of the crest and all elements involved in the design.
This will really help when youre adding finer details later on in the drawing.
With all that out of the way, we will draw the first shape of this drawing.
It is quite an unusual shape, and it will house the central H of the badge.
The four house symbols will also slot into these edges later on.
Once again, this is an element that may seem simple at first.
After all, how hard can it be to draw a letter H?
We would suggest this even if you didnt draw a pencil guide in the first step.
If theres a theme to this letter H, it would be pointiness.
Each of the four columns will have two curved pointy bits sticking off of the ends.
Finally, there will be a diamond shape in the center bridge of the letter.
If you drew a pencil guide for the letter, carefully erase it now.
Dont worry, because as always we will break it down into basic steps.
First, we would suggest starting with the outline of the crest itself.
The badge is a bit thicker at the base than the upper section.
If you drew the pencil guide, were sure youll be glad you did now!
Next, we will add the four Hogwarts house symbols.
On the top left, we have the Gryffindor lion, facing the right.
Then, the Slytherin snake is on the top right, facing the left.
They dont look particularly detailed right now, but we will add that detail soon.
Lets start with the upper large one.
The parchment is then unfurled and then flapped backward.
This top banner will then have Hogwarts written inside of it.
Luckily, the letters here arent as ornate as the central H of the badge was.
That being said, it still has a rather specific shape to the font.
you’re able to copy it from our example to help you as you draw.
Then, we will draw a much simpler, thinner banner beneath the badge.
Inside the banner, you’ve got the option to write the Latin phrase DRACO DORMIENS NUNQUAM TITILLANDUS.
This phrase can be written in what is more or less standard handwriting, all in capital letters.
For interests sake, the phrase translates to Never tickle a sleeping dragon.
First we will add some simple texturing detail inside the top banner.
These lines will go around the letters of Hogwarts and along the inner border as well.
Once that is done, we can add some details to the symbols inside of the crest.
Each animal needs facial and texture details to make them look more like its counterparts.
You will also see that each animal has some simple line details in the background of each section.
When you look at the example, you will see what we mean!
Before we do that, be sure to add any additional details and ideas that you want.
There are so many ways to make this even more cool and unique!
One would be to draw yourfavorite Harry Potter charactersor creatures in the background.
Those are just a few ideas, but how else could you make this picture more unique?
Examples would be colored pens, pencils and markers.
These allow you to color small spaces easily, so they would be perfect for this drawing.
This looks great, but you could also use more specific colors for the animals if you prefer.
Then, we filled in the section behind each animal with the color of their respective Hogwarts house.
That would be red for Gryffindor, green for Slytherin, orange for Hufflepuff and finally blue for Ravenclaw.
With those added, your drawing is complete!
If you drew anything in the background, then remember to color those as well.
There are also other ways that you’re able to make the colors pop!
One is to mix up the art tools and mediums you use to portray the colors.
For example, you could use a different tool and method to color each section.
Your Hogwarts Crest Drawing is Complete!
You could even make it look as if this crest is sewn onto the uniform of a Hogwarts student.
Thats a great way to immerse yourself in the world of Harry Potter!
