🧱 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 – Draw the Roof
Start by drawing the roof tiles. Make a slanted rectangle, then add curved lines underneath to create the shingle pattern.
Step 2 – Add the Roof Support Beam
Draw a long rounded rectangle below the roof. Divide it into sections — this will be the horizontal wooden beam that holds the crank and rope.
Step 3 – Build the Brick Wall
Under the beam, draw the stone or brick well. Use rectangles to make it look like it’s built from bricks or stones. Round the top edges for a soft, cartoon look.
Step 4 – Add Side Posts and Crank
Now draw two vertical support posts going up from the well to the roof. Add a small crank handle on one side — it looks like a sideways letter “E”.
Step 5 – Draw the Bucket and Rope
In the center, draw a bucket full of gold or water. Add a spiral rope above it, connecting it to the beam. This is what lets the bucket go up and down!
Step 6 – Add a Cute Face!
Give your well a happy personality! Two dots for eyes and a smiling mouth. Your well is now magical and friendly!
