Rectangle, rectangle, rectangle, rectangle everybody can do this. It is so easy. Make the windows style with four panes if you like. Put a little attic light and a little crash course in 3D if you want to start at this corner draw a diagonal line. This corner draw a diagonal line and diagonal line. Basically everything on this side we are drawing diagonal line out from and then do parallel lines. This line parallels that. Whoops I am curving a little bit here. This like parallels that.

And if you want you can do a little bit just to show there are some shingles there. And a little bit that is the shadowed part of the house. The sun comes this way. Of course if you want to dress up your picture do all of the typical things that people do. And there you have a house. "
