Halloween spooky house colouring ideas and techniques
This haunted Halloween house drawing gives you plenty of creative opportunities and adds a unique touch. Here are some ideas and techniques to help you color it:
1. The haunted house: Use dark and cool tones to give it a spooky look. You can use gray, black, or purple for the walls. For shadows, use a soft black colored pencil to add depth and make the house look old and mysterious. If you want a more realistic effect, blend two colors like dark gray and blue to create the illusion of moonlight reflecting on the walls.
2. The windows and door: A neat trick for the windows is to color them in pale yellow or orange to make it look like there are lights on inside the house, adding a more ghostly touch. The door can look like old wood by using browns with black shadows to highlight the texture.
3. The path and grass: The stone path can be colored in gray tones, but be sure to add shadows between the stones to make them look more realistic. The dry grass can be shaded in muted greens, browns, or even yellows. You can also add some fallen leaves in brown or orange tones to give it an autumn feel.
4. The pumpkins: These are a key part of the drawing. Color the pumpkins in orange, but don’t stick to just one tone. You can add details with brown or dark red pencils to give the pumpkins shadows and make them look more realistic.
5. The sky and bats: For the sky in the background, you can use a dark blue or deep gray. If you want the perfect Halloween night scene, add a gradient that goes from dark blue at the top to lighter gray near the house. The bats and tree branches can be completely black to add mystery.
Remember, creativity has no limits! Add your personal touch to the drawing, whether by using bright colors or sticking to a darker palette.
