Easy Halloween Things to Draw

A collection of easy Halloween drawings, made with the help of an easy step by step tutorial.

Sometimes you just need a refresher course on how to draw some Halloween things. Like when you want to add a doodle to an envelope, or draw fun stuff to your whiteboard, or who knows … even decorate cookies. Hint: Go with spiderwebs, they are easy and always look cool.

On the other hand, maybe your day got turned upside down and now your students have about 20 minutes for a quickie class. Or, they just completed a tough test, and would love a fun early finisher project.

In that case, this tutorial might be just the ticket. Use it as you see fit, OR, tell your students they need to make up their own project. And if they think up something brilliant, please let me know. I love sharing student art at the end of blogs posts.

Note: The download includes a page of boxes and a Coloring Page to give your students lots of options.

Learn how to make an easy Halloween drawing with just a marker and crayons. Careful coloring can create a striking silhouette.

A sunset silhouette always makes for a colorful drawing, but if you add in a few Halloweenish elements, then you get a fun seasonal project as well.

One of the great thing about drawing a silhouette like this is that it's so easy to fix little oops-es. Not happy with how your cat looks? Turn it into a bush. Thinking your tree looks too thin? Add more black to thicken it up.

Whatever students end up drawing, just make sure they know that the drama of their black shapes against the colorful sky depends on how well they fill in the black. Scribbles will only take away from the contrast, which is what makes this kind of work so fun to look at.

And teachers, DO try to provide newer-ish markers so that students can get a really black color. It always pained me to see some struggling with worn out ones as they are doing all the work for a fraction of the impact. Budget permitting of course, and you have my sympathy if your budget is whatever is in your wallet. I've been there. 🙁

Materials for a Halloween Sunset Drawing

Pencil. The Ticonderoga brand are the most reliable, make nice dark lines when you need them, and are the easiest to erase. Buying the pre-sharpened ones will save busy teachers a lot of time.

Eraser. Large ones you can hold in your hand do a much better job than just the pencil tip erasers, especially when erasing leftover pencil lines after tracing.

Black Sharpie Marker. These fine point permanent marker pens make nice black outlines, have a good tip for coloring, and never bleed when they get wet. Use them with good ventilation and add extra paper underneath to protect your tables.

Prang Crayons. These are a bit softer than other crayons so they sometimes look like oil pastels. They also have a some nice brown shades that Crayola does not have unless you buy their larger boxes.

Crayola Crayons. The reliable brand that always works well. The 24 pack has some of my favorite golden orange and yellow colors that seem a bit richer and warmer than the ones Prang has.
