Who’s ready for fall? I’ve never designed Halloween goodies before (well, except these postcards years ago), so I’ve been playing in my sketchbook to see what I can come up with. I’m not sure yet which of these will become cards, and which will just stay in my sketchbook.
I also messed around with gouache a bit. Last October I drew a “happy halloweenie” hot dog on our kitchen chalkboard. I loved that guy, and I think he needs to make a comeback! Do you think he needs mustard?

Oh My Gosh!! These are fabulous!! Thanks for sharing your process. :)
oh.my.gosh. i never thought I’d say this, but your drawings are dreamy! I’ll take one of each- I adore classy halloween decorations.
I love the one with the little ghosties!
These are amazing! They should most def be made into cards! I love the ghost one and the Halloween banner! Wonderful!
I love seeing your sketches! Looks like you are brewing up something special :)
I love it when you post up your sketches! They’re always so lovely… and oh so intimidating. I love the ‘trick or treat’ ghosts.
I think the little ghosts are my favorite – so adorable! I also vote that the Halloweenie needs mustard :)
They are so beautiful and fun. Mustard would be fantastic.
Those are so cool! I love the trees but they’re all great. The gouache halloweenie is so cute, maybe a little mustard squiggly?
Such cute “treats” for fall!
Also, wanted to share some gouache with you lol
I recently subscribed to soulpancake on youtube and they had a video of an artist using gouache and thought it might be helpful for you to see her techniques.
I’ll check it out, thanks Amanda! :)
Ha, I love the hotdog!!
a mustard bowtie would be cute! He’s fine the way he is tho…love it!
i’m a huge sucker for good halloween design (my favorite holiday to boot), so can’t wait to see what you decide on!
Love these! I’m so ready for Fall!
you and your blog are perfect and your sketches are fab
Oh wow! You’re planning for Halloween already? Can’t wait to see the finished products!
You totally inspired me to make one myself
I’m actually a bit behind! I should be working on Christmas stuff now—eek!
I’m in love with the little weenie. I agree some mustard might help brighten him up.
these are so freaking cute!!! yay for halloween!! love fall. and the weenie, love love love!
Looove the trick or treat ghosts!
Would you give the halloweenie a mustard bikini? ;)
Haha!
You guys are awesome! Thanks for all the great feedback. Mr. Weenie now has mustard. :)
I loooove that very first sketch in the photos! All the others are great too, but that’s definitely my favorite. I love the gouache work as well! You never cease to amaze! Keep it up.
Halloweenie! So cute! I think Mustard would be a fantastic touch!
clever, you are! i love your sketches… they’re such a treat. seriously difficult to choose a favorite but, i have to say, your gorgeous skull sketch made me wish i could twist/turn my screen and manipulate it to show me more!
Love the sketches! You are so talented. I love the Trick or Treat one…as well as the first sketch.
