This guide focuses on how to draw a gingerbread village with a bridge and icing-covered trees. The shapes are soft and rounded, and the difficulty stays easy to medium because of the repeated house forms and background layout.
Key Parts of the Gingerbread Village
Here are the main elements of this scene:
