NOTE: THIS PAGE IS NOT FULLY COMPLETE, YOU CAN READ IT AND LEARN FROM IT, BUT I HAVEN'T MADE THE FINAL TOUCHES YET.
I am tring to use mspaint to everything I do, because that is a program that almost all windows users have got. And you can't turn something from 45-degree view to isometric in a good way that I know of in Paint, so the bottom line should be:
Two straight pixels, next row:
Two straigt and so on. I am not sure that I explained very well, but I hope that you will understand if you look at the image.
Copied the line and put some copies of it to make is longer without any need to draw more pixels.
Mirrored a copy of the line and put it at the other side. At the same time I drew two lines going straight up, without walls it wont be a house.
Copied the bottom and put it at the top.
Mirrored it to make a complete roof.
Drew a line that should make a sloping roof.
Finished the roof with a line on the other side.
And drew a top of the roof.
Deleted the lines that would not be seen through a solid roof.
Drew door and windows.
More windows.
Colored the roof, and drew brighter lines in it. I know that the lines haven't the correct distance between themselves, but that wont make any difference when viewed with no zoom.
Colored the house blue.
Shaded it, I couldn't really choose from where the sun should shine, but I hope nothing got messy.
Colored the windows in a greyish color. The door in brown.
I removed all black outlines, they just don't look good in a isometric image. Note how I changed them to a darker color of what they are outlining.
The image in its normal size looks like this:
