Start with a wide triangle for the roof and a slightly flared trapezoid for the house body. Add a rounded window and a tall chimney up top.
Step 2 – Add Details to the Roof and Door
Decorate the roof with a scallop pattern and draw a front porch with a striped awning. Add narrow windows on the sides.
Step 3 – Add the Porch Steps
Draw layered steps under the door and add a base to the bottom of the house to ground it.
Step 4 – Add a Second Roof Tower
To the left, add another smaller roof and tower with scallop tiles. Now it’s starting to look spooky!
Step 5 – Add the Third Tower
Repeat on the right side to balance the house. Now you’ve got three cool roof tips like a haunted mansion!

Give your haunted house two big round eyes and a sweet smile in the center. Now it’s haunted AND happy!
