Step by Step Ghost Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Draw the Left Side of the Ghost
Start with a tall curve on the left side of your page. It looks like a big hook or candy cane – this will be the ghost’s left side.
Step 2 – Add a Ghostly Arm
Now add a small oval-like arm shape curving out from the bottom of that line. This is one of the ghost’s cute hands.
Step 3 – Draw the Wavy Bottom
Draw a bouncy, wiggly line across to form the ghost’s floaty bottom edge. Think of it like waves or melted frosting!
Step 4 – Add the Right Arm
On the other side, draw a second small curved shape like the first hand. Now your ghost has two little arms.
Step 5 – Close the Shape with the Head
Connect the arms by drawing a big rainbow-shaped curve from one side to the other. Now your ghost is complete!
Step 6 – Add a Cute Face
Give it two round eyes and a small smiling mouth in the center. Boo! It’s not scary—it’s adorable!
