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!
