Halloween is this weekend, so I want to share this Halloween-themed tutorial with you. It is geared toward Adobe Illustrator, but if you prefer to use another vector editor (Fireworks, Sketch, Inkscape) I think the concepts transfer fairly easily. What this tutorial does really well is to step viewers  through the process of drawing the individual shapes which magically turn into a haunted house in the end. Additionally, I think taking a few minutes to work through a tutorial is a great way to keep up skill in a tool.  Many times when I’m following a tutorial I will learn something new, even though I already know Illustrator (or any tool) well.

If you’re interested in getting some drawing practice in and have time to give it a try, I hope you share your drawing with us. My attempt is below.
