7. Next, draw the windows. Draw a narrow horizontal rectangle on each side of the house. These are the flower boxes.
Use "U" shaped lines to enclose the cloudlike greenery in each box. Use circle and "U" shaped lines to draw daisy-like flowers.
Then, use three straight lines to enclose a rectangle above each flower box. Use straight lines to enclose smaller rectangles at each corner of the window, leaving a cross shape in the center.

Draw a quadrilateral inside the top facet of the cube and shade it. This is the opening of the chimney. Sketch a few rectangle shapes on the side of the chimney to give it the texture of brick.
