In this tutorial, we will learn how to draw a simple house by breaking down the process into nine easy-to-follow steps with illustrations. All you'll need to follow along is a pencil, eraser, pen, some paper, and reference photos (if you want to add your own creative touch to the abode). Ready to get started? Then let's draw a house!
