Trick or Treat!
Let’s have a little Halloween fun today
and draw and color a witchy pumpkin!
This photo from Lady Bug Wreaths was my inspiration
I started with a pencil sketch
adding my own version of her hat,
with a spider web, buckle and dangling spooky spider
Next I went over the sketch with a waterproof black liner pen,
and erased the pencil
I added more details as I inked
I made a free printable if you want to color along,
you can download it here
Let the coloring begin!
Yellow for the cut edges for her features and hat buckle
I used a medium gray for the highlighted areas on the hat
{on black surface highlights aren’t going to be white,
more like a soft gray}
Then I began filling in the black areas with a dual tip pen
The fine tip is great for outlining and small spaces
and then I used the broad chisel tip for large areas
I use a set of Calliart Markers that I got from Amazon here
Next a deep orange for the more shadowed areas of the pumpkin
on the sides, bottom, in the groves and under the hat
Then I used a lighter orange yellow to fill in the rest
A touch of lime on the hat band,
and squiggly lines for her hair with green, orange and black
Some yellow dots with a Kuretake Zip Color Dot Marker
Then a few black dots to finish!
If you don’t want to color your own,
you can download this colored one here
and use it to decorate a space in your home
Have some witchy Halloween Fun and
Be Fearless!
