I love Halloween doodles. They are fun to create, to color, and can be as creepy, cartoonish, or beautiful as you wish. October is usually when the Instagram feeds fill up with original Halloween doodles. I even created a few of my own with how to’s for this post.
Doodles are more than just funny cartoon drawings, they can look realistic too. Doodles can be any type of idle drawing. You don’t think about a doodle too much you just kind of go with the flow of the drawing.
As always make sure you sketch out in pencil first and then fill it in with color. I use Crayola Super Tips and Sipa Fine Liners for outlines. It gives you crisp cartoon like lines if that is what you are going for. If you want a more realistic look to your doodles use colored pencils.
Before we get started here is a list of my recommended supplies.

DO NOT BUY THAT! Scribbles that Matter should be back in stock soon. My second favorite journal is the Essentials Dot Matrix, though I warn you the pages on this one are thinner and bleeding and shadows show up on opposite sides. However, it's a decent cheap journal if you are in a pinch and just want to get started.

Popular Halloween Doodle How To’s
To help you learn Halloween doodles I have drawn step by step guides to some of the most popular doodles for this season.
Pumpkin Halloween Doodle
For this doodle you want to start with a center oval. By adding crescents to either side of the oval you are giving your pumpkin dimension. The vine should not be elegant but have a bit of stiffness to it.
Ghost Halloween Doodle
The next most popular Halloween doodle is the ghost. In this example I give you three versions of a ghost ranging from a classic simple version to a friendly version. Ghosts are extremely easy to create.
Bat, Witch Hat, and Cauldron Doodles
These are all fairly simple doodles to recreate but necessary for any Halloween spread. All of these drawings are pretty self explanatory. Remember to sketch them out in pencil. The dotted line is a guideline that will most likely get erased or covered up.
Haunted House, Grave, and Black Cat Doodle
The haunted house is just a bunch of basic shapes. If you curve the lines on the squares, rectangles, and triangles you’ll get more of a cartoon like vibe.
The grave and the cat are both self explanatory and easy to recreate. On the back of the cat you see I puffed the fur by using a black fine liner and making tiny wiggles along the outline.
Halloween Bullet Journal Doodles
Doodling is a fun way to get creative and relieve some stress in your life. I like to leave a few empty pages at the end of each month for doodles, pictures, and other memories from the month.
