Spooky Drawing Time Coming :)

Happy October :)

I created fun and cute spooky mini-series with beginner-friendly tutorials. In this first part we will draw a cute ghost under 30 minutes!

You will learn a lot of skills

We will go together through each step, from sketch to final details and a simple background. Even though this is for beginners, I believe advanced artists can also find some fun and practice here. Because besides simple ways of drawing, I will teach you some useful drawing and Procreate tips.

You can level up your art with me — I pay attention to details and play with shapes, shadows, highlights, and cuteness! I always jump between coloring, shading, and details, going back and forth to fine-tune everything. This way, you can learn how to work in flow — in a living process the whole time.

So at the end, you will have an amazing picture and a lot of new skills!

Sketch

I’ll take you through the rough sketch, but this won’t be a part of your final drawing, so don’t stress too much about perfection. But if you struggle here and need a little support, you can always grab a PNG outline or, even better, a stamp with the sketch. It’s all in one spooky package with sketches for two more tutorials (plus one more pumpkin and broom as a bonus) and also full ready-to-use stamps! Have fun :)

Glitch note

I had an issue with lighting in the video (a few short times) — not sure why, maybe some tiny ghost was flying around me :) So I just hope you can see everything clearly and well.

I put these and also two more tutorials perfect for Halloween drawing into a scary collection right here!

Useful tech details

I used terms like “layers” and “clipping masks” – let me explain what it is, so you can easily use them later:

• layers: it is like drawing on “see-through sheets”—one for the body, one for the eyes, etc. They let me color or fix things without messing up the whole drawing, therefore I use a lot of layers. In Procreate, the layers icon looks like two little squares (in the top right corner).

• clipping mask – this one keeps my colors inside the lines/shapes. I tap on the particular layer, choose “Clipping Mask,” and anything I draw will only show up where it’s supposed to. Super helpful for clean coloring!

• Size of my canvas: 9 x 9 inches, 340 DPI, RGB or Display P3 Color profile -if you have no idea what I’m talking about 😄 no worries—just check out this postand it’ll all make sense!
