So, for this third tutorial I will be showing you how to draw a gingerbread house step by step. I had so much fun drawing this cartoon like gingerbread house because it was so easy and because I had a good idea on how to design and decorate it. Now I know that there are a lot of people out there that love drawing festive things around the holiday seasons, so I made sure that this gingerbread house was easy enough for everyone to tackle. Gingerbread houses are not only used for Christmas though, they are used during Easter and even during Thanksgiving as well depending on tradition. Many of us remember the tale of Hansel and Gretel that were lured into a delightful, delicious looking gingerbread house that was owned by an evil old woman that is secretly a witch who invites the two starving children in for a bite to eat. Unaware of what the old woman’s real intentions were Hansel and Gretel accepted her offer and followed her in. Their eyes bulge wide open as they step foot into the house made of candy because they see a table covered of candy, nuts, pancakes and other delightful things to sink their childish teeth into. The witch eventually locks Hansel in a cage, and makes Gretel her slave. This tutorial is a fun way to learn how to draw a gingerbread house step by step. I know you will love how easy this drawing lesson is and if you look at it your finished drawing will look like a cartoon gingerbread house. I will be back y’all so stay tuned in.
