Hi, Tom here in this week's Circle Line Art School video I'll show you one way to
draw a haunted house, for this drawing I'm going to use a pencil and a black pen,
the first step is to draw a slight hill
for the house to go on, next draw a series of three rectangles,
the taller one in the middle,
you could have the vertical lines, the upright lines of
these rectangles, sort of getting closer as they go up the page,
now we can add a simple roof structure on the left and right
and then in the middle part of the building, we could add a sort of wedge
like roof on the tallest part of the house, with some metal spikes at the top of it,
now that's the basic shape of the house
that we need, next we could add a veranda around the lower part of the house,
like a thin roof going all the way around, wrapping around the house,
we could just sketch in a few uprights for this veranda roof as well,
now draw a door at the base of the taller tower, the taller of the three
rectangles that we drew and we could extend the hill a little bit too,
and just sketching small lines to show you steps leading towards the house,
from where we are viewing it,
next we could add some windows, I will draw a window in the roof, a dormer window,
then we could draw some other shape windows, we could draw ovals or arched
windows or windows, sort of Gothic windows, with points at the top and rectangular
windows, just draw a range of windows
draw a shutter, you could draw a shutter unhinged, at an angle,
you could also add a key stone, like a triangular sort of flat based
triangular stone, at the top and in the middle of some of the windows,
we could add a bit more to the corners of the roof and at the top of the roof
we could draws some more spikes and ironwork, you could add some more windows
to the side here,
draw some planks of wood across some of the windows,
at the front we could draw some pillars, tall posts either side
of the steps, and then a few more details for our haunted house,
once you have the basic sketch okay, then draw a big circle behind the haunted house
and then in front of the drawing we could add a sort of twisted iron railing...
if you have some space, you could draw as of gnarled tree on the left or the right,
and the twigs of the tree could look a bit like bony hands,
and then draws some bats in the sky in front of the front of the moon, the bats just have
tiny little heads with little pointy ears and then a curved body with
semi-circles below,
in front of the house we could erase some of the pencil drawing in a small area
and then we could draw a ghost!
I guess to draw a ghost we just need to draw some eyes and not much else,
you could also add some lines of wood to the outside of the
building at maybe some odd angles and maybe some tombstones in the garden too,
once you have the details that you would like, you could go over your
drawing in pen and then some soft pencil for the moon and then I think for this
drawing I'll do some darker pencil shading for the sky, you could make the
sky dark than this, but I think I'll just have it a pale tone, so that it makes the
moon look brighter, thank you very much for watching this video from
