The Last of the Spirits

Lightly sketch the main shapes: the ghost, the figure, the tombstone, and the background building.

Establish the darkest areas of the ghost and the background using a dark brown or black.

Begin adding cross-hatching to define the forms and create shadows, focusing on the ghost's drapery and the building's texture.

Use lighter tones to build up the mid-tones, gradually adding layers of hatching.

Render the figure with similar cross-hatching, paying attention to the folds of the clothing and the pose.

Add details such as the grass, the fence, and the inscription on the tombstone.

Refine the values and details, ensuring a balance between light and shadow.

Add final highlights to create a sense of depth and atmosphere.
