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.
