Mystical Haunted MansionÂ
It would take a whole lot of effort and special effects to make your house as spooky as this one. It looks straight out of a movie set! Draw it instead and save yourself some time and expense.
Enchanted Jack-O’-LanternsÂ
Would you rather draw a pumpkin than carve one? These designs may inspire you to do just that.
Ghostly Forest SpiritsÂ
These drawings might be a little too creepy for the littles. But older kids may enjoy putting their own spin on this haunted forest motif.
Bewitching Witch’s BrewÂ
Have your kiddos draw this one with some ingredients they can see at their drawing station. It will be even more fun to see things they already have floating in the cauldron!
Dark and Dreamy Moonlit GraveyardÂ
The Graveyard design, just like the forest one, may be too scary for your younger kids. Let the older ones stretch their imaginations with this one. Is there someone walking down the path?
Are they a ghostly visitor?
Creepy Candlelit CatÂ
The eyes on this cat are hauntingly beautiful, especially this time of year. Be sure to notice the light from the candle reflected in them. If your kids are drawing with you, have them name the cat.
Ethereal Skeleton DanceÂ
This drawing will give adults a chance to practice their detailing and shading skills. Beautiful but haunting, keep this one for the grown-ups.
Spooky Spider’s WebÂ
This spider's web drawing is almost hypnotic. The web design seems to have depth, as if you would feel the silk of the strands if you touched it.
Lunar Werewolf TransformationÂ
This drawing begs for a backstory. Was this man always this way? Or did someone transform him into this monster?
Come up with your own conclusion as you put this piece together.
Charmed Fairy Goth GardenÂ
This gothic fairy garden allows you to mix mystery with old-world charm. Be sure to play with different shades of purple.
Magic Potion ShelfÂ
What do the bottles on your Magic Potion Shelf create? You can range your mixtures from harmless to creepy with this fun and enchanting drawing.
Eerie Eyeball SoupÂ
This one brings back memories of the game we played as kids, where we'd close our eyes and put our hand in a bowlful of grapes that we were told were eyeballs. This time, it actually is eyeballs!
Whispering Witches’ CovenÂ
Your kids will for sure want to make these witches into people they know. Who better to include in your coven than your best friends?
Gothic Pumpkin PatchÂ
These pumpkins put a sophisticated twist on Halloween. Play with the deep purples and blacks and create something totally new!
Venetian Masquerade PhantomÂ
As someone who visited Venice on my honeymoon, this one is extra special to me. The art captures the mystery and magic that permeates the city itself.
Chilling Crystal Ball VisionsÂ
What do you see in the crystal ball? Tell your kids (and yourself) to let their creativity shine when they decide what the crystal ball is showing them.
Spectral Shipwreck ShoresÂ
The muted colors give this drawing idea a special mysterious quality. What caused this ship to run aground? Answering that question is part of the fun!
Bewitched Pumpkin Spice VillageÂ
Perfect for the kids, this whimsical Halloween village is sure to get them into the spooky spirit! It makes me want to grab a delicious pumpkin drink and stroll down the cobblestone path.
Wickedly Whimsical Broomstick RideÂ
Almost every girl I grew up with was a witch for Halloween at least once. This design captures that magic of childhood trick-or-treating. Halloween is the one night a year when you can pretend to be anything you want to be!
Mystical Raven’s PerchÂ
This gorgeous raven is something I'd be happy to have on my wall all year. The blend of purples and blacks gives the bird a magical glow.
