Step-by-Step Drawing Guide
Step 1: Outline the Rounded Roof
Draw a broad domed roof curving down on both sides. Curl the lower corners inward and leave the center bottom open.
Pro Tip: Make the roof wider than the walls you will add below.
Step 2: Add the Roof Edge and Walls
Draw a shallow upward arch across the roof’s open lower area. Extend two slightly slanted walls downward from beneath this curve.
Pro Tip: Keep the walls well inside the roof’s outer edges.
Step 3: Draw the Chimney
Draw two short chimney sides rising above the right roof slope. Join them with a wide rounded cap at the top.
Pro Tip: Stop the chimney sides where they meet the roof outline.
Step 4: Add the Door and Windows
Draw a central arched door, a round knob, and a curved baseline. Add a round window on either side, dividing each with a cross.
Pro Tip: Keep the windows small enough to leave space around the door.
Step 5: Plant the Rounded Bushes
Draw a low bush beside each lower wall corner. Use rounded bumps across the tops and flatter curves along the bases.
Pro Tip: Let the bushes cover the lower ends of the wall lines.
Step 6: Curve the Front Path
Draw two winding path edges spreading outward from the door. Add several small irregular oval stepping stones inside the path.
Pro Tip: Make the stones near the door smaller than those in front.
Step 7: Color in your drawing!
Fun Facts
- The house repeats rounded shapes in its roof, chimney cap, windows, door, and bushes.
- The widening path makes the house drawing suggest distance without complicated perspective lines.
Pin it now, Draw later!
Your house now has a rounded roof, chimney, circular windows, bushes, and a winding path. Choose cheerful colors and keep the path lighter than the surrounding garden. Try drawing another house with your own roof pattern.
