Today's Drawing Exercise

Subject
A simple house
What you'll practice
Drawing a simple house helps beginner artists understand the basics of perspective, particularly how to create a sense of depth using vanishing points. This exercise will reinforce your ability to visualize and represent three-dimensional shapes on a two-dimensional surface.
Step-by-step guide
- 1Start by drawing a horizontal line across the page to represent the horizon.
- 2Mark a point on the horizon to serve as your vanishing point.
- 3Draw a rectangle or square to form the front face of the house.
- 4Use lines converging to the vanishing point to draw the sides of the house.
- 5Add details such as windows, doors, and a roof by following the perspective lines.
Pro tips
- —Keep your lines light so adjustments can be made easily.
- —Use a ruler to help keep perspective lines straight and accurate.
- —Observe real-life objects to better understand perspective in your drawings.
Self-evaluation
Check if the drawn lines accurately converge towards the vanishing point and ensure the house appears three-dimensional and proportional.
