The top shell of the roof is called the roof. It must be waterproof. Roofs can have a different shape, be flat or with an attic. Also, the roof can be covered with various building materials. The appearance and strength of the roof depends on the selected coating.

How to Draw a Roof
- Draw the top of the roof.
You need to draw one straight horizontal line and add arcs around the edges.
- Add the side edges of the roof and the line of symmetry.
From the ends of the drawn arcs, draw two straight lines, and add a straight line between them.
- Start drawing the elements of the roof covering.
Between the two previously drawn straight lines, draw several straight lines of the same length.
- Add some more roof elements.
You should draw a few more straight lines, placing them between the side and center lines.

Draw many arcs to connect the previously drawn lines at the top and bottom ends with them.

Now you should add many more arcs of the same length, arranged in four rows.
