Step by Step Ghost Drawing Instructions

Step 1

Start by drawing a curved shape (like a upside down letter U). This will be the top part of the ghost’s head.

Step 2

Draw hands – you can keep them simple, with drawing “U” shapes, or make them more detailed.

Step 3

Let’s start working on the body. Start on the left side, drawing a curved line from the hand downwards.

Step 4

Now move to the right side and draw another curved line, ending it above the first one.

Step 5

Complete with the wiggly “tail”.

Step 6

Now comes the face. If you want your ghost to look happy, draw “normal” eyes, and a “moon” shaped mouth. This way your ghost won’t look scary at all.

If you want a scary one, color the eyes all black and draw the “moon” shape with it’s end points turned downwards. You can even add a diagonal line on top of the eyes to make the ghost look angry. Scary isn’t it.

All done, you have learned how to draw a ghost!
