How to Draw a House for Kids

Step 1.


The first thing you will draw is the shape of the house's roof. You might want to use a ruler for this tutorial just because you will mainly be drawing straight lines and angles.

Step 2.


For the mini roof that covers the second floor window you will need to make a triangular line in the form of an A or angle arch.

Step 3.


Draw in the square shape of the window and then make another pitched line to make a trim for the roof.

Step 4.


Now the glass for a window can be many shapes and styles. For me I wanted to make a round window shape and then draw in a pie for the window design.

Step 5.


Draw out the shape of the actual house and this time as you can see it is just a bog square. Draw in another smaller square for the house window, and then move to step six. You can also choose to draw two smaller windows if you want a house with two    

Step 6.


Draw in the window glass and then make window trim in the inside. Draw a door and a foot step.

Step 7.


Okay guys last step. Draw in the bushes and then another step. Like I said in the description, you can add some flowers if you like.

Step 8.


Here is what your house looks like now that you are all done. Have even more fun coloring in the drawing and then move to something else to draw.

Description: I have this picture that is really old, and when I say old I mean old like from the seventies. It’s a picture of my mom when she was only six years old. She is standing there in front of an easel holding a stack of crayons in her hand. On the side of her she is posing to show off her work because she was getting recognition for the house she drew. Just that picture alone gave me the idea to make a tutorial on "how to draw a house for kids", step by step. The house looks very much like the one in the photo, and because my mom drew almost the same house at age six, I thought that the same design would be something that all beginning artists can draw. Just because you can’t become a member because of your age, that doesn’t mean that you have to suffer. There are tutorials on here for everyone including stuff for the youngest artists. You can even tweak the tutorial by adding some flowers or maybe even coloring in your door red instead of a greenish yellow. I hope you like this lesson, be sure to join me for many more coming to you shortly!
