Use another guideline for the outside edges of the roofs. There will be four or five of them. Each roof is a different size, the bigger ones are below, and the smaller ones are above.
The higher roofs are seen from underneath so their undersides show more than, the lower roofs that are seen more on the edge, and less of the underside shows. This means the angle is different higher up and it is more diamond-shaped, while the lower roofs are more triangle-shaped.
Between the roofs are sidewalls, they are shaped like rectangles.
After you have a basic design, then give the roof beautiful curves. The top sweeps out and up. Under the roofs are supporting structures that make it look line a slight triangle upside down.
There are rounded shingles on the roof that are in rows.
Draw parallel lines horizontally for the railings around the sides.
Draw decorations on the top tower and the sides.
Shade one side more than the other and put shading underneath the roofs.
Add a background of trees by scribbling a few irregularly shaped lines for the tops of trees. Add a mountain with some light jagged lines. Put a garden in the foreground with a lot of small scribbled shapes and a few large rocks. Add a fence and a path leading up to the pagoda.'
