First of all, resize your images when you put them on the computer. It's hard to critique when you have to scroll around to see the whole thing.

Now, grab a pencil, and hold it up to the screen, in line with the points of the roof on the front and back of the house. Then, while you're still holding the pencil at the same angle, scroll up to the drawing, and move the pencil (without changing its angle) to one of the points from the previous image. You can see that they aren't aligned.

Next time you're drawing, hold the pencil up from time to time to get an idea of the angles, then bring it down to your page to see how steep a line you need to draw. Keep your hand steady while you're moving the pencil, and trust that you're drawing the correct angle even if it looks off.
