How to Draw a Haunted House

Step 1.


Draw the foundation of your surface which could either be a flat ground, or a hilltop. Next, draw three structure shapes like you see here.

Step 2.


Begin drawing out the rooftops on both the house, and the houses porch. When that is done you will also need to make the sides of the porches structure which should be a bit squiggly. Lastly, draw in the stairs.

Step 3.


Continue to draw out the shape of yet another roof which is incorporated with tower structure, and porch structure which includes the columns. Now add some lining for the shingles like so, and draw in the shape of the front door.

Step 4.


The biggest part to drawing a haunted house, is getting all the roofs drawn in. That is what you will continue to do here as you can see. The other roof tops should be triangle in shape, and they should also overlap the sides of the building. Once do   

Step 5.

Description: What’s spooky, dark, full of mystery, and is usually home to many tales? It could only be one thing, and that thing is a spooky house. I just had to do another tutorial on one of these creepy structures because we will be seeing a bunch of them in less then a month. So, for today I will be showing you guys "how to draw a haunted house", step by step. One great thing about these houses of lore, is the fact that they all come in many different styles, colors, and sizes. You got to think, why is it cool to go on a haunted house amusement ride, but not walk inside of the real thing? I know the answer to that question, and it’s simple. For starters, haunted houses that can be found at various amusement parks, and carnivals are all fake, but walking inside of the real thing is a bit different because you are actually risking your life by even stepping foot into a house that is spooked to the max. To me, I think it’s more fun to "draw a haunted house" because you can make them look like anything you want. If you want to draw a really fantastic creation, adding some real scary looking gargoyles or bat structures may be something that can spruce up your drawing creation. This is a fun submission because I really want you guys to follow the steps, but also add some of your uniqueness to bring out the monster in you. I hope I see a lot of artwork going up on your very own haunted house. Remember, everybody’s perception is different when it comes to inventing your own stuff. Have fun guys, and remember to also have an awesome Halloween when it’s time to ring that bell and shout “TRICK OR TREAT”!
