Art project for this Halloween. 12 Cute Cats Drawings with Halloween Costumes and a Story About Reanimating an Art Career. By PumkiMask. Expect the zombies, ghosts, skeletons, and vampires!
For this October, and to start drawing again, I’m making some silly cats as an objective (around 12) and posting them on X. I´m also creating other drawings in between, just so I don´t get bored.
What got me drawing again?
After that, it feels like 2 years or more, I’ve been working (and still am) as a photographer in my city with a partner. A few weeks ago, this October, I received an email from Redbubble, my long-forgotten art store, I had sold a sticker! For many, that’s nothing – 60 cents – but I hadn´t touched that store or my social media in years, and with the money problems we are having at home, a slight hope arose.
So, I restarted everything again
After my YouTube feed showed me a video, I started again, this time in X, again in Pinterest, and again in Redbubble. So, I posted the first time that comes to mind, old content, and let me say, this one isn’t that old, but it was also a restart in a sketch book I recently bought, to show and tell:

It’s mixed media, but I really liked how it turned out. And yes, the project is a lot simpler than what this drawing was.
From what I can see in Clip Studio Paint, it takes me between 20-50 minutes, but it’s something, and I want that “something”, not a massive drawing meant to attract a thousand people. I don´t think social media and the internet work that way
The project at last
I will be updating this in the time I’m making it, but you can see the content on X or Pinterest anyway. I’ll start with the sketches that I will be working on:

I don’t know if you can see it clearly, but it´s Halloween-themed, you’ve got some ghosts, maybe Death itself, a zombie, or Frankenstein’s monster
The first one isn’t even in those sketches; it´s was a random idea inspired by the words “Halloween Horror, which – to no one’s surprise – are popular right now on Redbubble.
You can check the shop collection if interested, it’s called Halloween Horror – Cute cats with costumes

For this one, I kept the color of the cat and played with the idea of the “glasses” I used in the first one. I also used these light brown colors because I liked them.

For the Haunted Cat, I thought of skulls and tried to give it the same bone color, but I ended up not liking it. So, I decided to stick with the “costume” idea instead.

For a cat demon, I truly wanted to make it red and with fire, however, i wanted to maintain the idea that is: Or the same black cat or a group of black cats wearing costumes for Halloween, so i just added the little wings and the tail.

For the Grim Reaper i remembered the meme where the Death is visiting door, so i applied the meme to the drawing, i also liked more this one, maybe i find something i liked in the process of this tiny art project

Oh, the mighty and always used zombie, what is Halloween without this creature
I liked this one, especially since I focused on adding more details than the previous ones, and also worked differently from the earlier designs.

Returning to the lazy cat theme, but this time with a pumpkin in its head, and maybe a coma candy

A specter, it’s kind of a Ghost? And I didn’t want to repeat the look of the number 2, so I went with this transparent style, and a — kind of crazy — personality

It’s Frankenstein’s Monster Cat, of course, it’s made the same way as the first one

For the final one, I wanted a “bat” monster, but since I already have the vampire simulating that idea, I just went with these stone monsters.
