There's a ghost in my bedroom!

Help, there are ghosts in my bedroom! Behind the wardrobe, under my bed, behind the curtains....

What do you need:

  • white drawing sheet 
  • indian ink
  • dip pen
  • pencil
  • paper towel
  • black paper for background

What should you do? 

  1. Sketch your room with a pencil: bed, wardrobe, toys, window, door. 
  2. Draw ghosts on several places. 
  3. Trace the drawing with indian ink. Leave the ghosts white.
  4. Fill the rest of the drawing in with various textures*. 
  5. Paste the drawing on a black sheet.
* Look for a lesson on texture : Exercise in drawing texture

Artworks made by students of grade 5.

  1. Cool idea for Halloween season. Do you have Halloween in the Netherlands? I should know the answer to this I think...

  2. Thanks for your reactions! Yes, we do have Halloween in the Netherlands, but it's just a pale imitation of the way you celebrate it in the USA! We don't celebrate it in schools. Some people organize a Halloween party for themselves, that's it. Stores do their best to let us buy Halloween stuff, but that's just for decoration. We don't know trick and treat, I learned about it from American blogs!
