At this point your cabin should really be starting to take shape. , Draw in the windows and the door.
These can be wherever you like, but you can always just follow the example image for a solid guide. , Sketch in a floor/porch for the cabin, again adding extra lines to indicate depth. , Try to make all the supporting posts about the same size, and the horizontal section as straight as possible. , Use various shades of brown (since it's mostly made of wood and timber), although you can color the chimney grey or red to make it look like stone or brick. , Draw an equilateral triangle over the right half of the line. -
Step 2: Draw a rectangle for the chimney.
Below each of the triangle's corners, draw a long skinny rectangle. , Then, connect the horizontal lines at the top and bottom of the triangle.
