Time Needed: 20 minutes

1. Form The Walls

   

   Start by drawing three vertical lines. Then, connect the bottom of these lines with a horizontal line.

2. Attach The Roof

   

   Form a diagonal roof for the left part of the house and a horizontal roof for the right side.

3. Draw The Windows

   

   Now, draw a wide rectangular outline with two upright rectangles to form the windows on the first floor of the house. Next, form a rectangular outline with the top part sliced diagonally to draw the windows on the second floor. Create vertical strips to add the grilles of the windows.

4. Add The Doors

   

   Start by drawing two vertical lines to outline the main door in between the first floor windows. Next, draw an upright rectangle slightly on the left side of the door. Then, attach a thin rectangular door handle. For the garage door, draw a wide rectangular outline and add evenly spaced horizontal lines as shown.

5. Build The Front Steps

   

   Build the front steps of the house by drawing a stack of horizontal rectangles.

6. Complete The Modern House Drawing

   

   Let’s give the modern house drawing some personality by adding some color! Start by filling in the glass on the door and windows with a light blue crayon. Next, paint the walls with a muted blue tone. Now, color the roofs and the framing of the door and windows with a dark gray crayon. Then, use a brown crayon to shade the front steps and the door handle. Finally, fill in the garage door with a darker shade of blue.
