Ok, so I updated it some. I really need some help on the steps and on making shadows, so if anyone can make a edit, or help me some, that would be great.

I like your color palette. It makes the house look almost adobe-like, in a good way :)

I did an edit to show you how I do stairs (my way takes longer haha). I added another color as a highlight. Some of your lines aren't fully isometric or they don't make perfect edges, so I suggest you read this tutorial- http://pixel-zone.rpgdx.net/shtml/tut-isometric.shtml. It should help a lot :)

The main issue I see with your current work is the platform. it looks flat, and the feet are off to me. Also, be careful not to use too saturated colors for the windows.

One last thing that bugs me is that the left block isn't connected with the rest of the building. I don't know if you intend on leaving it this way, but in case you do, just know it looks weird.

EDIT: I couldn't help but add a few things to marshall's edit:

I added a color to highlight the wood, and circled a few flaws in the lines.

On the right corner of the balcony, the distance between the fence and the edge of the platform is bigger than on the left side. I also lowered the saturation of the windows.

Oh and the balcony's door was shorter than the others. I fixed that.

Changing the color of the inner edges from black to brown helps decreasing the overall thickness of the piece.

Be careful and everything should end up just fine.
