How to Make a House

Have you ever wondered how to draw a three-dimensional (but simple) house? Once you have its basic shape down, you can get creative with windows, doors, roofs, and other features. Here's a guide on how to get started.
Steps:
1.Draw a cube. Its lines will serve as the walls of the house. These should be approximately even, but don't worry if they're not quite perfect.
2.Draw two overlapping triangles on either side of the cube. Don’t make them taller than the walls, though, or your finished product will look somewhat unrealistic..
3.Connect the sides of each triangle in order to form your roof. If you don’t see a house starting to emerge in your drawing, refer to the image here and make it look more like that
4.Add a large rectangle for the door, and a couple of squares or rectangles for windows. Remember, we’re drawing in perspective--so for the door and window(s), add in smaller squares and rectangles inside the initial shapes for better detail
5.Outline the image and erase overlapping lines. There shouldn’t be too many, but whatever remains should be easy to get rid of
6.Color it in and you’re done! Your house can follow whatever color scheme you'd like; if you're in need of inspiration, step outside for a few minutes and look at houses in your neighborhood.
