Here is an easy step-by-step guide to drawing a simple ghost:
- Draw a vertical line and mark halfway along it. Add a few quarter marks between the top and middle.
- Draw two parallel vertical lines on each side of the first line at a distance roughly equal to one quarter section.
- Draw a rounded oval from the top to the mark above the middle, touching the parallel lines.
- Draw a horizontal baseline connecting the bottom ends of the parallel lines and extend it slightly on both ends.
- Draw a wavy (wobbly) line along the baseline to create the bottom edge of the ghost's hanging sheet.
- Draw the ghost's "arms" by curving lines inward horizontally from the sides.
- Add fabric folds inside the ghost’s body by drawing curved lines cascading downward.
- Draw two oval eyes slanting inward roughly in the middle of the upper oval.
- Go over your outline in pencil to define the ghost shape and erase any extra lines.
This simple approach creates a cute ghost with a floating sheet-like body and gentle folds. It’s great for beginners and kids and requires only basic shapes and lines.
