How to draw a house step by step | Simple Easy Drawing


Hi everyone, welcome to Simple Easy Drawing! Today we are going to learn how to draw a house, and this lesson is made especially for kids. This project is very close to my heart because I love being at home. I know for so many of us, home is the place where our favorite memories are made.

We are drawing a simple, countryside style house today. It is the kind of house you might see on a quiet backroad with a big front lawn and plenty of open space around it. We will use simple shapes and you can finish your drawing in just a few minutes. Grab a pencil and let’s draw a happy home together

Here’s an easy step by step tutorial that will help you create a simple and easy house drawing.

Materials you will need:

  • A piece of paper
  • An HB pencil
  • A dust-free eraser
  • A black sketch pen for outlines
  • Crayons or color pencils for coloring


Let’s get started!

Please note: In each step, the new parts of the drawing will be highlighted in orange, while everything you’ve already drawn will stay in black.

Step 1: Draw the base of the house

Simple rectangle drawn for the base of the house.

Start with a rectangle in the center of your page. This will be the main part of your house. Try to keep it neat — it’s okay if the lines aren’t perfect!

Step 2: Add the roof

Triangle added on top to form the roof.

Draw a triangle on top of the rectangle to make the roof. Extend the sides a little so it looks like a real roof with edges.

Step 3: Draw the door

Small door drawn in the center of the house.

In the middle of the rectangle, draw a small door. Add a tiny circle for the doorknob. That’s the entrance to your cute little home!

Step 4: Add windows

Two square windows drawn on each side of the door.

Draw two small squares one on each side of the door. Then, add a cross inside each square to create window panes.

Step 5: Draw a chimney

Small chimney added on top of the roof.

Add a small rectangle on top of the roof for the chimney. You can place it on whichever side you like best.

Step 6: Outline and color
