3- I like it due to the colors and the fact people are walking by.

Shauna

2 - I’d like to be able to sketch interesting houses in older neighborhoods. This one has a lot of good angles.

This t

is the kind of unique building I encounter in my travels

3 I like the perspective challenge plus the people walking by. And the colours

CBond007

I am torn between 2 and 3. I love the perspective in 3.

Matthew Sims

2. I just think I'd like living in that house 😂

Red Mystica

3! I love Ireland and the colors of building are great

Sharon Foster

2 is most like the homes I find in New England.

Silattahoe

They are all good but I feel that some of your previous tutorials covered buildings like #3. So, rather 1, 2, or 4. Thank you!

dalgal

#1 please

Amber

#1 pls. Would be really fun to do, with the windows and the beautiful colour!

Eun Cho

#1. I love the color variation of the building and shadows in it.

Lorna Graham

I liked the look of #2 immediately so have chosen that one ☺️

Eris Gillis

I would like to do them all😜.

Lex Sijtsma

Looks like I can learn a lot of #2 because of all the complex angles.

Bonnie Kenney

That's tough.. I love them all 😂 I think #2 cuz of the street signs in the foreground & the house is beautiful 😍

AishahArt

Number 2 looks really interesting 😁

Dave Busse

Number 3 is a nice exercise in three point perspective, but # 2 would be my second choice, it has its own challenges.

Patricia Monaghan

Number 2 would be challenging with all the angels and textures...and I find it visually appealing

Number 4 would be challenging for me for painting around the white spaces

I recognize building 4 from an early December poll. Scottie must like it and is giving it another chance. 😀 So I will vote for it!

Monica D Franks

I would like to vote for #2 😊 This particular style of building really resonates with me. I live in Seattle, Washington, and I see houses like this often in my own neighborhood and while traveling around the U.S., so it feels very relatable and familiar. I know there are some concerns about complexity, but for me, highly ornate architecture, lots of intricate windows, and heavy traditional details can actually feel more challenging. What I really like about #2 is that I can see how it could be simplified in a very approachable way while still teaching strong fundamentals like structure, angles, and perspective. I also appreciate that we’re all coming from different places around the world, and what feels familiar or challenging can vary a lot depending on where we live. For me, #2 feels like a great opportunity to learn how to sketch something I encounter in everyday life, while still offering plenty of room for growth for artists at different levels.☮️✌️💕😊

Lorraine A

I like 1 because of the angle and color!

Barb 3

I like the building style and urban setting:)

Tami
