How To Draw A Haunted House

10 Amazing (and Easy!) Tutorials

Introduction

If you want to draw a haunted house but don’t know where to start, you can do what I did, and go through a few YouTube drawing tutorials. For me, haunted houses don’t usually have a specific visual description. But in order to make them look haunted in your artworks, you need to come up with a way to give the houses an eerie, and spooky vibe.

To draw a haunted house, you first need to draw a regular looking house, and then add necessary elements to it so that it can have that eerie and spooky look. You can do so by placing dead trees, tombstones, or even draw ghosts that can be seen through the house’s windows.
