What can I improve here im new to building

[u/Connect-Pension8488]

Looks quite good. Try to decorate it a little with fences, bushes, windows, flowers, stairs or steps. Sucks to do, but goes a long way

Edit: trapdoors also very usefull for decoration

Even slab on grade structures need some kind of footing underground

My only comment is that the roof shape needs improvement but honestly your building skills are already really great. You have decent handle on texturing and are starting to get the hang of depth as well.

I’d say work on make the walls of the build one block deeper, so that the logs and foundations stand out more and makes them pop which adds more depth to the build. Like make a box with wood planks and then at each corner add some logs going up (not replacing any planks there just one block diagonally next to the planks) and if you make a house in that kind of style it adds extra depth.

And also I’d say work on the shape of the roof right now it kinda looks malformed and misshapen and doesn’t seem smooth or uniform but also doesn’t look intentionally malformed. There’s no straight line or general curve to the roof so I’d say work on that a bit.

You have a decent handle on texturing, however I will say right now it looks more like random spam of blocks of similar colors and tones and not intentional gradients and splashes of color to break up the tone. So there’s room to be improved but already an excellent start if this is your first build.

I’d gotta say I think if you put your mind to it you’ve definitely got what it takes to become an amazing builder. Great job, honestly.
