7. For the shrubs, draw wavy, uneven hill shapes to make a shape like a fluffy cloud. Don't worry about making them perfect. The shrubs should overlap the bottom of the White House.

Draw an oval in front of the building with a curve inside this shape. Outline a box inside the United States flag, then draw stars and sketch lines for the stripes.

Outline your White House in black to complete the drawing. Use the same ruler that you used for the pencil sketch to keep the lines even.

Use shades of grey to give your cartoon White House depth. Color the sky, windows and fountain blue, and use green for the grass and shrubs. Use reddish-orange for the flowers around the fountain.

Add grey shadows to the clouds to make them realistic, then color the American flag with red, white and blue.
