Sample farm.

Create the background. Draw a curve to coming from the right side of your paper and trailing off at the bottom. Then add two more curves over the first, forming a couple of rolling hills.

3

Draw a stout, arrow-like shape for the front of the barn. Add in a small diamond shape on the left for the wall. At this point your barn won't look like much of anything, but don't worry, it'll start taking shape soon.
4

Draw two rectangular shapes. One will serve as the door and one for the window of the barn. You can also sketch in extra doors and windows on other parts of the structure, but don't put in too many or it'll look unnatural.
5

Draw the roof following the image here as a reference. Remember, the roof has to cover the entirety of the barn. Draw a smaller rectangle contained in your window(s) to make a frame, and letter-like outline for the door.
6

Add details like the grain silos in the back. You could also include some animals around the barn (cows, pigs, sheep, etc.) and some clouds in a clear blue sky.
7

Color in your drawing. Use blue for the sky, red for most of the barn, white for the details of the door/window, green for the pasture, and yellow for the fields!

Question

Is there any way I can make the farm more realistic?

One way you could make the farm more realistic would be by adding farmers, animals, and so on to make it actually look like a real farm. You could make it realistic by not making it animated, but with sharper edges for the clouds and color it like a proper farm.
Question

What about fields of crops?

Crops should be evenly spaced and in rows and columns in a rectangular, flat area. For root crops you could draw leaf shapes coming out of the ground, varying with each type of crop. For wheat fields you could draw a line with an oval shape with pointy triangle shapes overlapping and sticking out through the side. For corn husks you could draw a thicker line with an oval shape with large leaves scattered and sticking outwards from the corn. For sugarcane you could draw a thick line with a few evenly spaced lines going side to side. Add a few large leaves sticking up from the top. Consult photos if you need more direction.
Question

What about extra details, like tractors?

Yes, you can add more details. If you need help drawing something and you can't find it on wikiHow, check YouTube for tutorials.

Is there a rhombus in agriculture?

Community Answer

These are storage structures designed and constructed locally for storing unthreshed grains such as maize, millet, and sorghum in the Northern part of the country. Rhombus buildings are cylindrical in shape and have their walls made of mud or dry grass and the conical roofs are made of thatch.
