Halloween Doodles

Last week I was planning a halloween window mural (if you’ve followed my instagram for a while you might remember the series of window murals I did during lockdown and then at Christmas last year). When planning I like to keep it simple; after all, the design has to be easy to transfer on to a large space.

For this week’s blog I’ve taken 5 objects from the mural and created an easy to follow how-to, showing you how to draw these popular halloween things in approximately 5 steps. 

Check it out and don’t forget to tag me in your attempts.

2. Draw a half oval from the top middle, round to the left and down to the bottom. Repeat on right hand side.
3. Draw another set of half ovals on the left and right. 
4. Add a stalk on the top
5. Draw the eyes and mouth
