Section 1: Draw a House with Squares
Kids can easily learn to draw a house by starting out with some simple shapes. Begin by drawing two big squares that overlap each other slightly. These will form the two walls of your house. Then, draw a square in the middle of the two walls that slightly shorter and narrower than the walls to create the roof of your house. Now that you have the main structure of your house, it’s time to add some finishing touches.
Using the same basic technique, draw four smaller squares at the bottom for windows. Add three more in the top square for the roof. Don’t forget to draw some lines around the house to make it look more authentic. To make it even more detailed, you can also draw doorways, sidewalks and a chimney on the roof. With a few strokes of the pencil, your house is now ready to come alive with color and be part of your very own drawings!
Section 2: Add Color to Your House
Now that you have the basics down, it’s time to add some color to your house. Fortunately, there’s no wrong way to do it and you can let your creative juices flow. Choose whichever colors you want and make your house stand out. For a more classic look, you can use warm tones of red and brown. For a more vibrant look, use cool blues and greens.
A fun way to spice up your house is by adding some stripes and dots. Try polka dots, stripes or other fun patterns. Use those same colors to make it even more vibrant. Your house is now ready for any kind of adventure that your drawings will be part of.
Section 3: Make a Garden Around the House
What’s a house without some flowers and trees? Make your house look even more fun by adding a garden around it. Start with some small trees for the background and then add some tall grass and flowers. For a realistic look, draw some potted plants as well. When you’re happy with the garden, it’s time to add some animals.
Draw some birds or cats, or maybe even a dog or a rabbit. Place them around your house and garden and they will look like they were made to be there. Draw it all together to create a vast and diverse world of your own. Making your very own garden is the perfect way to express yourself and be creative.
Section 4: Let Your Imagination Lead the Way
After making your house and garden, the fun doesn’t stop here. The possibilities are endless and you can now let your imagination lead the way! Add some beaches, clouds, mountains and hills around your house. Draw some more elements from nature like butterflies, dragonflies and grass. The sky truly is the limit here!
Don’t forget to add yourself and your friends in the picture. Draw yourself inside the house and your friends around it, playing and having fun. Use bright and vivid colors to make it all stand out and bring it to life. Make it a picture of a perfect day where your drawings come alive and you are part of the scene.
Section 5: Make More Cool Houses
Drawing one house for kids isn’t enough! Get inspired and make some more fun houses by changing the shapes and colors a bit. Try different types of roofs, such as a triangle, hexagon or even a circle. Change the orientation and make your houses taller or wider. Mix up the colors and make some houses with more than two walls to create an even more unique look.
Get creative and keep playing with the shapes and colors. By making different houses, you’ll get more and more practice in drawing and you’ll also become more comfortable in making your own designs. Once you become an expert, you can make entire cities! With some patience and creativity, you can make wonderful art that you can be proud of.
