Drawing Notes:

Our ghost is facing you with his arms out wide to the sides. The eyes and mouth are slightly distorted, like the ghost is blown by a breeze. We believe he is a “friendly” ghost because he has a smile on his face. Perhaps he wants to be like “Casper”, the friendly ghost that appeared on TV in five different shows between 1959 and 2012.

Fun facts:

The word ghost originates from the Old Germanic word gaistaz, meaning soul or spirit. It also shares a root with the word gasp.

Ghost stories have touched everyone in some way and that’s why ghosts are universal.

Not all ghosts are intent on showing up out of nowhere and scaring the living daylights out of us. There are indeed many examples of good ghosts.

Ghosts have been credited for saving people from accidents, delivering important messages, and emanating an overwhelming feeling of peace and love.

Phasmophobia is the official term for a fear of ghosts. This phobia can also be linked with the fear of the dark.

The outline of a stingray.

Drawing Notes:

When finished, turn the page clockwise a quarter turn and our witch is flying to the left. She is sitting on her broom with her pointed hat bending backwards in the breeze. Her cape is blowing out behind her and looks striped due to the many folds in the fabric. She is wearing big heavy boots that show just below her skirt. The back of the broom reminds me of the old time straw brooms that were tied onto a stick before they started using a wire wrap and trimming the top of the straw.

An old-fashioned skeleton key.

Marie’s drawing notes:

This small pumpkin takes 7 lines down, 12 spaces across. It has a stem on top, two eyes, a nose, a smiling mouth with teeth, and it requires a little skill in spacing in order to look correctly proportioned.

Drawing note:

If you want to turn this Jack-o’-lantern into a pumpkin, eliminate the eyes, note, and mouth.

An umbrella with rain around it.

Drawing notes:

I removed 9 cells from each row to create a symmetrical pumpkin. I believe this is the intended drawing style. I also moved the nose down one row. This pumpkin now appears to be narrow and tall. I also used Marie’s optional row 15 to see what was intended with the change to the mouth.

Fun Fact:

In the United States, people carve faces into pumpkins for Halloween and call them Jack-o’-lanterns. Sometimes, they put lights inside the pumpkin to show off its face.

Do you think this is a pumpkin or a Jack-o’-lantern?

A sailing ship.

Drawing Notes:

The apple has smooth areas for the eyes, nose, and mouth that you can color. The mouth is the lower three areas that look like running ooze. I think of the apple as a lime green with blood red eyes, nose, and mouth, however my favorite poison apple is purple with glow in the dark red in the smooth areas.

Here is another Halloween pattern.
