Inktober 2019 Day 22: Ghost

A pretend ghost. That is how I interpreted today's inktober 2019 prompt which is ghost. How do I draw one? I got no real life experience or reference so the easiest one I can think of is this popular image of a ghost. I chose this because I don't want to create something dark or scary no not today. 😳

I made this in one sitting for like 8 minutes maximum. That was quick and the end look is awesome. Something I never thought could work. I love how the ghost is framed beautifully by random stuff that I could think.

Someone pretending to be a ghost is my starting point with this line drawing. I can be good with this drawing with less details

Then I added lighter shades on the ghost but the effect was too light, I think a darker shade on the background would compensate for it.

Simple details like random ghastly trees in white framed the background so well. I then added some more darker tones on the background to add depth. I put a black cat, flying bats and some graveyard stones and pine trees to help tell a story. I was happy with the outcome. No revisions or edits made as everything went well.

Hope you guys like it as much as I do. Thank you so much for stopping by
