How to draw a two-story house with a pencil

Surely we all imagined the house of our dreams more than once. Each one has his own. Someone dreams of a small brick, like a gingerbread house, someone - of a stylish town house, and someone - of a big house in the style of Russian wooden architecture. So let's figure out how to draw a two-story house.

There is such a thing as a direct linear perspective. And if you want to depict the house as realistic and even voluminous as possible, you must follow it strictly. In fact, everything is quite simple. A direct linear perspective involves a fixed point of view on the object and a single vanishing point on the horizon.

Necessary items for drawing:

  • paper;
  • pencil;
  • ruler;
  • eraser.

Stage one

House position relative to linear perspective

Using a ruler, draw a square or rectangle with a pencil. Next, in the middle of the finished figure, draw a conditional horizon line from edge to edge of a sheet of paper. On the finished horizon line, put one point (perspective point). For greater realism of the object, we draw thin straight lines from the corners of the square to the conditional point of perspective.

Now you need to draw a notation for the border of the side wall, connecting straight lines that are directed to a point on the horizon.

To complete the figure of the house, you need to draw a roof. To do this, draw a line with a pencil in the middle of the side wall, draw this line up and connect it to the facade of the house. We finish a full roof. Now you know how to draw a two-story house.

Stage Two

Before us is the outline of the house on paper. Now literally everything is in our hands. At this stage, you can turn on your imagination and design your dream home.

First, you should depict the windows on the first and second floor. The window of the top floor can be large panoramic, and the windows on the first floor can be drawn with standard double-leaf. They can be plastic or wooden with carved shutters. Next, we denote the front door. It will be beautiful if you depict a pen in detail and draw a porch.

What will be the roof? It can be made tiled, that is, draw small rounded scales. You can use the lines to indicate the iron roof or imagine that solar panels are located on it. Maybe you dream of a fireplace in the house? Then on the roof you can depict a chimney.

The facade of the house can be painted brick or log. It is not superfluous to imagine the attic around your building, and on it, for example, you can depict a table and a rocking chair.

At the very end, you should draw up the adjacent territory. What is a house without trees, a lawn, a flower bed at the porch?
