#AuGHOST 2019!

It's August once and again, and that meant my twitter buddy Sommerjam along with David Pietandrea brought back AuGHOST!



For those that weren't aware, it's one of those monthly drawing themes, but this one's about ghosts! I did this last year and had a bunch of fun doing it, so naturally I got in on the act this year, too!

Once again I've collected all 31 drawings into one convenient post! Have my drawing skills improved in the last year? Enjoy.

1) Lock 



It's the Wow Ghost from last year, but he's in jail?! Only his lawyer can say why (who in my head is Ghost Matlock)

2) Aquatic



Also returning from last year is the Massive Ghost. But he seems to be sleeping with the fishes, with a nifty pair of cement shoes.

3) Dressed Up



This cute little bugger is all dressed up, but sadly nowhere to go. That's (after)life for you.

4) Robot



You knocked its block off! My inspiration for this was a Rock'em Sock'em Robot.



Yeah, pay no attention to the crudely drawn fists.

5) Fall



Skydiving is a type of falling, right? He's falling with style.

6) Hollow



Ghost innabottle! I really liked how this one came out.

7) Hatchet



I don't really trust that hatchet, you guys. (for one, I don't really like how I drew it)

8) Fabulous



For whatever reason, my mind went to "Wilma Flintstone" for this prompt. Yes, bishie sparkles and everything.

9) Pop



Top ten pictures drawn before disaster. For some reason a few people thought this balloon ghost looked like a tampon. Have...have those guys ever SEEN a tampon? I'm guessing no.

10) Chicken 



This ghost is in a ten piece bucket of trouble. I couldn't find my black pen that day, so switched to the blue pen and wasn't a fan of how it came out. 

Yes folks, you might've have noticed I started to branch out into other colors this time around. First blue, then red. I tried inking these pictures with red pens, but didn't like how it showed up. Here's the original version of this drawing:



Yeah, looked just as crude, when what I really wanted was some solid shading. So a pretty long trip to Michaels and I came out with the perfect red marker for these drawings. You'll see more of it later.

11) Wound



Uh-oh, Hatchet Ghost had a little accident. Also, yay, I managed to get a draw a hatchet better this time.

12) Damaged



What are the odds? Now he's lost both his arms. And quite bloody, I might add.

13) Stone



"Can I get a HELL YEAH?!" Ghost Stone Cold Steve Austin was one of my favorite drawings this year.

14) Hack



Another one of my favorites this time. He's even got a mullet like many 80s comics had. My backstory is that he died on stage, doomed to performing hacky material for the rest of eternity.

15) Cat



Once again Hatchet Ghost had some bad luck, now a cat scratched him in the face. I'd be sad at myself at how I drew that cat, but I realized that medieval artists weren't that much better.



16) Seance



I didn't really know how to draw a proper seance, so here's a ghost looking in a crystal ball.

17) Bury



Over the course of the month, Hatchet Ghost went from crude ghost drawing to my version of Rickety Cricket. Now on top of losing his limbs, he's missing an eye and has a few scars.

No, I have no idea how he did all this without arms.

18) Cool



Ice cream time! Not a big fan of how I drew the ice cream, but here ya go.

19) Dreamy



I can't believe it...Wow Ghost is on the cover of a magazine!

In case you can't read it, it says "(Dead) People Sexiest Ghost (Not) Alive!"

20) Deceive



Yeah, that's totally not magazine cover model Wow Ghost. That's supposed to be a mustache, and not a mouth.

21) Trap



On top of everything, now Hatchet Ghost is getting sucked into my drawing of the classic Ghostbusters Ghost Trap.

22) Holy



"Do you like doing a drawing every day?" Is the Ghost Pope catholic?

23) Serve



(Gasp) It's a cookbook! This is my little tribute to this classic Simpsons gag (which in itself was referencing the Twilight Zone)



24) Kidnap



The Wow Ghost went missing?! Well, like "Seance," I didn't exactly know how to draw a kidnapping, so I drew the aftermath of it.

25) Mine



You work 16 tons and what do you get?

...I don't know what ghosts would mine, but this one's been a bit busy.

26) Smart



"Well I sure hope I'll do better next weekend on the Price is Right (ight ight)"

Here's my tribute to Weird Al's classic "I Lost on Jeopardy" video, with a little cameo from "Jeopardy James" Holzhauer tossed in for good measure.



27) Land



Aww, a polaroid of a ghost wearing Mickey ears. So many memories.

28) Lost



Maybe he shoulda taken that left turn at Albuquerque?

29) Bolt



Ghost Thor! I think I nailed the hammer and the lightning hitting it, the rest of the drawing...not so much. I based him off how Thor looked in Endgame, with the epic beard.



30) Sink



Huh, I wonder where that ghost in the "Lost" drawing went? He dropped his map, and his hat fell onto that quicksand.

31) Deadline



And so we reach the end. Here's all my favorite ghosts all in a row, waiting for...something.

Hatchet Ghost's been in a few more scrapes since we last saw him, and I liked having the chance to redraw Ghost Pope. He looks a bit more sinister this time.

Well, I hope you enjoyed these drawings! And be sure to check out the drawings done by other artists on Twitter and Instagram under the "AuGHOST" and "AuGHOST2019" tags. They're quite good. I'm gonna go take a nap.
