Before you start drawing a house, you need to carefully look at it: is it high or low, where is the door, how many windows are in the house, how many floors. Let's look at the roof of the house. Let's start with drawing general form house, from its facade (that is, the view of the house when you look at it directly and see only one wall and roof). We outline the height and length of the house, the size of the window and its place. We will do the same with the door. Make sure that the lines of the windows, the lower edge of the roof and the base of the house are horizontal. Windows can be drawn in the form of cells in straight lines from top to bottom and from left to right.

Toy house

And you can also draw such a house. He looks like a toy.

Multi-storey building

If we are drawing a multi-storey building, then we will notice that the windows are on the same vertical line (the top row above the bottom row). In addition, all windows of one floor are usually at the same height, on the same horizontal line.

What is the best way to place the house on a sheet of paper so that it is not very small: in the length of the sheet or in the width?

When we draw people, think about how big they should be compared to the house. Look at the drawings and say where the artist drew correctly and where not.

Hello! Today we present to you new lesson step by step drawing, in which we distance ourselves a little from drawing living beings and pay attention to architecture. As you have seen in the title, the topic of today's lesson is how to draw a house, let's get started and start drawing!

Step 1

Our house today will look like a hugely popular townhouse in the West - a neat, compact house that is designed for a large family. Therefore, it will look more complicated than the traditional hut, which comes to mind as an association with the phrase how to draw a house.

Draw such houses as in our example, starting from the bottom. To make it more convenient for you, we decided to highlight the part that should be drawn very first:

If there are no highlight lines, the first step should look like this:

Step 2

Present here a large number of steps, however, we will use the same markup as in the previous step so you don't get confused. In red, we marked the places that should be drawn first. The number 1 marked the columns, the number 2 - the cornice. The lines may not be very straight right now, the main thing is that you have a clear idea of ​​​​their location.

Without this markup, the drawing for this step looks like this:

Step 3

Now it's time for strict straight lines, and here you need to draw very carefully. Our artist loves to detail the drawings from top to bottom. So, let's draw the roof with several even, symmetrical lines. Keep the three-dimensional effect in drawing the cornice, paying attention to the lower part, and also correctly outline the corner on the right.

In this part of our lesson, we will draw the shutters and the window. Please note that it has a pair of transverse lines, and not one, as is found in stereotypical drawings of houses.

Step 4

Quite a short step. Here we will draw the part to the left of us top floor, let's not forget the semicircle in the center of this part, carefully shade it. Moreover, the shading should be intense in the lower part - well, you can see it for yourself. Then we will work on the windows, draw and carefully shade the shutters.

Step 5

Let's draw the porch of our house - the roof, columns, cornice and door - everything except the handle door should be absolutely symmetrical. Naturally, we mean symmetry with respect to the porch, and not the whole house.

Step 6

To the right of the porch is a veranda, draw it. Here we can see a window, cornices and columns. Symmetry and clarity of lines should be preserved everywhere.

Step 7

Now it's the turn of the part of the house, which is located to the left of the porch. Wavy lines outline the contours of the bushes that grow in front of the house.

Step 8

In the end, we outline and draw a part of the house, which is located to the right of all the others.

Many children dream of learning how to draw a house, for example, fairy hut. There is nothing difficult in drawing such a structure, therefore even a preschooler can cope with such a task, especially if his parents help him with this. Thanks to this master class, everyone will be able to understand how to draw a house with a pencil in stages, and then color it using a set of colored pencils.
Before you start drawing a hut, you need to prepare everything you need:

one). Colour pencils;
2). Mechanical pencil (or a simple sharpened one);
3). Eraser;
four). Paper.

2). Draw a triangular roof;

3). Draw windows;

four). Draw the roof and chimney;

5). Draw the logs;

6). Draw details such as window frames, their decor and patterns;

7). Draw the smoke that comes from the chimney, as well as the cat that climbs the roof. Draw a fence on both sides of the house. At this stage, you can finish the work if you wanted to learn how to draw a house with a pencil. But the painted drawing looks complete and more interesting;

eight). Outline the sketch with a pen. Draw clouds and grass with a pen;

9). Remove the preliminary sketch with an eraser;

ten). Color the frames with a light brown pencil, and windows with yellow;

eleven). Use brown and dark brown pencils to paint over the logs;

12). Light brown color the top of the pipe and the round elements of the logs. Paint over the chimney and patterns on the house in red, and red-brown on the decor of the windows and the roof;

13). Color the fence with an emerald-colored pencil, and a cat with an orange one;

14). in green shade the grass, and blue - the sky and clouds.

Now you know how to draw a house step by step and then color it with colored pencils. Of course, you can make a house drawing bright not only with a set of colored pencils, but also using watercolor or gouache. This is one of the easy options.

Now we will draw a simple house, it is not necessary to detail it in such a way, you can only draw the main lines. We will definitely need a ruler to make the house even.

Step 1. Draw two rectangles, the top one is slightly lower than the bottom one.

Step 2. We draw a bevel of the sides of the roof and additional decorative lines.

Step 3. Erase the horizontal side lines from the rectangle, then draw the door and windows.

Step 4. We draw a lattice on the windows, we will have an attic on top.

Step 5. We draw a window in the attic and this can be finished, but who wants to draw the whole house, we continue. We draw parallel lines on the roofs.

Step 6. We draw a tile. Let's start from the bottom row. We outline the middle of the house and draw a horizontal line in the very first bottom row. Then we draw to the left, while each time we make the line slope more to the right, then we draw to the right, making the farther, the greater the slope of the line to the left. Now go to the second row from the bottom. Each straight line is drawn in the middle between each tile of the first row, do not forget, the closer to the side, the more the line should be tilted to the other side. We continue to do this until the very top row inclusive. Then we draw patterns on the sides and on the roof of the attic. I have painted wavy lines with circles, you can come up with your own pattern, it doesn’t matter.

Hello everyone interested in my! Today we have very interesting lesson which I think everyone will like and benefit from! But first you need to subscribe to vkontakte community so you can share your work, get tips and new lessons!

Let's see where we are now on our thirty day journey. You have mastered the art of drawing, and most importantly, you have learned to use the direction compass (I talked about it in detail in the cubes lesson). Now you will use these skills to draw even more real objects. In this chapter you will learn how to start drawing a house, then you will draw a mailbox.

1. Draw a cube very, very lightly with a pencil.

2. Put reference point in the middle of the bottom right side of the cube.

3. Draw a very light vertical line up from this point. This will be our guide line for creating the roof of the house.

4. Connect the front roof slopes. Note that the near slope is longer than on the other side. This is a great example of how size and position give depth to a drawing. The near part of the roof is longer so that it becomes larger and creates the illusion that it is closer to the viewer.

5. Using the lines you have already drawn as a guide, draw the top of the roof, being careful not to lift the line too high (like here):

This is a problem for many newbies. To avoid this, consciously and deliberately return to your first line drawn in the northwest direction.

6. Draw the far side of the roof by matching the slope to the front edge. When I draw houses, it seems to me that if the far edge of the roof is tilted a little less than the near one, it looks more realistic.

This is just a quick look at a two-angle perspective. In the future, we will get acquainted with the law of perspective in more detail. I just want to whet your appetite for new drawing challenges!

See how funny it is to see a house aligned with a compass in the directions of northwest and northeast and see how these lines merge at a vanishing point on each side of the object. In fact, you've already used this advanced science of dual perspective effectively without even knowing it! How? When? You ask…

But I'm typing on my laptop, having absolutely no idea how it actually works. You can also drive safely without understanding how the engine works. Likewise, you can (and should!) successfully learn how to draw basic shapes without realizing all the laws and rules. I'm not saying that you shouldn't learn the basics of foreshortening in drawing, because you should, and you will do it in next lessons. But the immediate introduction of excessive, tedious information can greatly hinder or completely block beginners from enjoying drawing the initial basics. When newbies are overwhelmed with information, they become restless and naturally get frustrated. They experience failure and make the completely false assumption that they have no talent and therefore no opportunity to learn how to draw. The truth is that learning to draw has nothing to do with talent. You have experienced it for yourself while doing these lessons.

The best way to introduce students to the thrill of 3D drawing is by offering IMMEDIATE success in the first place. Immediate success generates excitement, enthusiasm, and interest. More interest inspires more practice. More practice builds CONFIDENCE. And confidence perpetuates the student's desire to learn more and more. I call this "self-perpetuating learning cycle".

We have seen in all previous lessons that drawing is an absolutely trainable skill. In addition, the ability to draw can dramatically increase your communication skills, which in turn can have an extraordinary impact on your life.

7. Draw a horizon line over the house and position the light source. Clean up your drawing by erasing the guide lines.

8. Using the lines already drawn in the NW direction as a guide, lightly apply the framework for the shingles. Draw a SW guide line on the ground to add a drop shadow. Apply shadows along the base of the roof. The closer to the roof, the darker the line along it, pushing it deeper into the picture.

9. Complete a simple house with roof tiles, make the nearby tiles larger and smaller as they get further away. Draw a window, make sure that the lines are parallel to the edges of the paper. Same thing with the door. Draw the vertical lines of the door corresponding to the vertical lines of the center and right side of the house. You can paint on additional details, for example, in the form of bushes.

10. Add slopes on the window and door. Finish the drawing with hatching. Great job! You have drawn a cute little house in the steppe.

LESSON 12: PRACTICE

Understanding how basic shapes such as a cube or sphere can be turned into objects real world is the main purpose of this book. Look at the picture of the mailbox. Try to draw this box yourself. Start by turning the cube into a mailbox. Next, form the front of the box on the right and left. Again, note that the near edge of the box is longer. This is another example of how size creates depth. Draw the post and drawer details. See how the dark shadow pushes the post under the box. Complete your mailbox by adding other details. These little details - the postal flag, the pen, the address, and especially the texture of the wood - complete this drawing perfectly. Texture adds a visual feel to the surface of objects: fur on a cat, cobblestone on the street, scales on a fish. Texture is a delicious "flavor" that adds zest to your drawing.
