How to Draw A House – Let's get Started!

Step 1

For this guide on how to draw a house, a ruler is going to be your best friend, as it will be used in every step of the guide.

This first step is no exception, and to start with you should draw in a square without a top. Using a drawing tool like a 90 degree set square will help to ensure that it will be a perfect square.

Lastly, draw in two lines that make up a triangular top as you can see in the image.

Step 2 – Add in the top of the roof

For step 2 of your house drawing, we will be focusing on the top of the roof. To start off, draw in two lines from the top corners of the house coming out from the house.

Then, draw in two lines that run parallel to the sloping ceiling of the house so that they will connect to the lines you drew out.

Referring to the reference image will be very helpful for this step.

Step 3 – Draw in a door and chimney

Using your ruler, we will be adding a front door and chimney to your house drawing. The door can be drawn in by adding a thin, horizontal rectangle underneath where the door will go.

Then, draw in a rectangle above the step you just drew to make the door.

Once the door is drawn in, simply use two rectangles to add in the chimney as it appears in the image.

Step 4 – Next, add in a side room

For the next step of our guide on how to draw a house, we will be seeing about adding in a side portion to your house.

This room will be made from a fairly simple shape, but it will be effective with building up your house drawing.

This shape will come off the left-hand side of the house and will appear like a square shape that slopes up towards the house. Finish off this side portion with a line across the bottom of the shape.

Step 5 – Draw in more of the house

Your house drawing is starting to take shape now, so in this step we shall add in a large portion of the house. It may seem like a lot that we will be adding in, but it will all be made out of simple lines with your ruler.

The section will be made from a rectangle extending from the house, and it will have a flat ceiling instead of the sloped one on the main house. Then, two rectangles with two lines drawn across them will finish off this step.

Step 6 – Next, draw in some details for your house

After the last step, the main portion of your house drawing is complete and you can start to focus on some details.

First, using some horizontal and vertical lines, draw in a brick pattern onto the chimney.

Drawing in some lines along the floor base and ceiling as you can see in the image will be the next part, and then you can finish off this step with a small circle for the doorknob.

Step 7 – Use some final details to finish off your house

And now that we're at step 7 of this guide on how to draw a house, you're almost finished!

It just needs a few final details, and you can add in some rectangles to make some brick patterns on the house. Finally, you can add in some bushes at the side of the house.

These are the details we used, but you should let your creativity run free at this point and add in any details that you want! If this was a house that you were living in, how would you personalize it?

Step 8 – Now, add in some color

Your goal was to learn how to draw a house when you started this guide, and you have succeeded at it! Now that your house drawing is complete, the only thing left to do is add some color to your drawing in.

We have shown you one way that you can color in your house, but for this stage especially you should show us how creative you can be!
