The house is one of the first objects that a child learns to draw. Most likely, this happened because the home for a person has always been the most important, safe place, refuge and focus of the family hearth. Most of the children at home are portrayed in about the same way - walls, a roof, a chimney from which smoke coils. However, it should be admitted that this approach to business is not too artistic.

Instructions
Step 1
If you want to draw a particular house that exists in reality, then you need an image of it, or he himself - you can draw it from nature. Fortunately, a house is a fixed object that can pose as much as necessary. Choose the technique in which you want to depict the house - perhaps it will be just a sketch, pencil drawing, drawing with paints or crayons.
Step 2
Choose and style your drawing. If you want to depict a house in the spirit of children's scrawl, then there is nothing complicated: a village house is a rectangle (in rare cases - a parallelepiped) with a triangular roof and other details to your liking, a city house is a large rectangle with many small windows, a flat roof and antennas at the top … By the way, drawings in such a minimalistic manner can be very interesting.
Step 3
If you are thinking of a more complex, adult drawing, then you need to study the laws of perspective. It is necessary not only to observe the proportions, but also maintain the angle at which you observe the subject. When working with a finished image or with nature, this will be much easier, but you can still make annoying mistakes, because of which your house will look clumsy and unrealistic. On a piece of paper, sketch out a horizon line that will become your guide. Choose an angle of view and outline the main lines. Try not to use a ruler, otherwise you will end up with a drawing instead of a drawing. Although this, however, may also look interesting in some techniques.
Step 4
When you outline the main lines and the building has walls and a roof, take care of the small details. When drawing them, do not forget about perspective, so that, for example, the window does not hang in the air. When you're done with the lines, sketch out the shadows and volumes for all the objects. Since all surfaces in houses are most often flat, this should not be particularly difficult. If you are sketching in pencil, follow the shadows with a soft pencil and shading.
Step 5
The house can be painted with watercolors, gouache, colored pencils - whatever. The specifics of working with each material take up entire books, so if you strive for excellence, study the literature on different techniques. If not, just color your home the way you like.
