Okay, I started out drawing a normal isometric block, then decided to turn it into a house of some sort... Only got one wall done lol because I didn't really know whether it looked right, so I thought I would come here for some C+C before I continue.

(And I know it needs a roof, )

it's a nice start good attention to details in the reflections in the windows.You might place a reflection line over the mountain image to complete the illusion. The windows would reflect more sky then landsxape though.

I would recommend you settle the architecture first to prevent redrawing things later on.

Okay, here it is with a roof, lol. My first ever attempt at a roof, so C+C appreciated.

EDIT*
With chimney and some erm... reflection lines on window? I guess this is what you meant, if not lemme know

EDIT* again...
I swapped the cracks for crawler plants but couldn't decide which was better. Any opinions?

EDIT* again again...
I added the crawlers to the other wall and a little air vent. I also made a lame attempt at a background hehehe.

The roof could use better definition between the colors and some texture. The chimney would be wall color not roof color. For better interest I would extend the roof out a little bit. Sadly the BG is not ISO. Otherwise good progress.

Okay I made the roof stick out a bit and changed the colour of the chimney, and removed my terrible bg hehe.

I'll see if I can do anything with the roof. Hmmm

EDIT*
Made some minor colour alterations to the furthest sides of the roof, any better?

it looks nice and detailed, but could use a lot more contrast. right now its hard to see the 2 rooftiles that are farthest away, and the wall could use a bumping too

maybe get rid of black lines?

Hey thanks for the comments snader,
Do you mean get rid of the black lines entirely? Everywhere? Or just certain parts?

As for the tiles and walls, I agree that I need to do something about them. It's just everytime I try, it always looks dodgy,
