When drawing a haunted house, you can fully engage your imagination to add various mystical creatures around the house. For example, ghosts, zombies, bats, black cats, and more. You can draw them anywhere around the house, but it’s best if they are encountered on your path to the house. You can also add other elements of mysticism, such as shimmering lights, fog, and secret passages. However, don’t overdo it and overload the drawing.
Use your imagination and don’t be afraid to experiment. Drawing a haunted house is a wonderful way to express your imagination and creative abilities. Don’t forget that you can create your own stories around this house and share them with your friends.
We hope that this haunted house drawing lesson will teach you how to create mystical and mysterious drawings. Enjoy the creative process!

How to Draw a Haunted House Step-by-Step
- Draw the roofs.
Begin by drawing two trapezoidal shapes for the upper and lower roofs.
- Add the walls.
Draw walls that connect the upper roof and lower roof to create the upper floor of the house. Then, using wavy lines, texture the roof by adding roof tiles.
- Draw the window.
On the floor you drew, you need to add the square window like in the example. Also, draw vertical fence lines on the large roof.
- Add details.
Detail the window by adding the grid, then draw a windowsill-stool. Following the example in this step, add the horizontal line to the roof fence.
- Draw the walls.
Under the drawn roof, form the walls of the house using straight lines, then draw the triangular-shaped hip roof.
- Add the roof tiles.
Detail the large roof of the house by adding roof tiles with wavy lines. Then add the walls of the basement of the house.
- Add house parts.
Draw the rectangular door, as well as the large window on the first floor.
- Draw the full moon.
Now, to add a mystical atmosphere, you need to draw a background for the house with ghosts. Using a circular shape, draw the moon behind the house. Also, add the windowsill under the window, as in the example.
- Draw the bats.
Draw the bats above the house to add the mystical atmosphere to your haunted house.
- Color the ghost house.
We shaded our ghost house in a mystical dark purple shade, but you can use, for example, gray color. Just take your favorite coloring tools and add colors to your drawing!
