Start With a Bold Ghost Outline

1. Begin by drawing an upside-down letter ‘U’ shape on your paper. This will form the main outline of your ghost’s body, creating a smooth, curved arc at the top.
2. Ensure each side of the ‘U’ is of equal length to maintain balance.
3. This simple yet important base will guide the rest of your ghost drawing.

Create Wavy Ghostly Bottom Curve

1. In this step, extend the lines you drew in the previous step to form a curved bottom for your ghost.
2. Make sure to create a wavy line to give it that traditional ghostly appearance.
3. Connect the ends of the curve smoothly to maintain the overall shape of the ghost.

Add Playful Ghostly Arms

1. In this step, draw two curvy lines on each side of the ghost. These lines will become the ghost’s playful arms, giving it a friendly and welcoming appearance.
2. Keep the lines slightly curvy and symmetrical for a balanced look.
3. These arms can be adjusted to convey different emotions, depending on your creative preference.

Start Drawing Ghost’s Pumpkin

1. The pumpkin should be nestled between the two wavy ends of the ghost’s arms, adding a friendly touch.
2. Draw two arches that touch each other and the ghost’s arms.
3. Draw the third arch under the first two.
4. Add a curved rectangle on the top center of the middle arch to represent the pumpkin stem.

Finish the Pumpkin

1. Finish the bottom of the pumpkin’s rounded shape.
2. Draw wavy segmented line to depict its segments.
3. Use smooth lines to ensure clarity.

Draw Pumpkin Mouth

1. Draw a circle with three peaks on the top to represent the smiling mouth.
2. Fill it in to show that the mouth is open.

Add Pumpkin eyes

1. Add two small circles for the eyes inside the pumpkin face area.
2. Fill them in.

Happy Ghost’s Charming Smile

1. Draw a tiny, cheerful smile, right above the pumpkin to give your ghost a playful expression.
2. Make it slightly open for extra charm.
3. You can color it in red for a touch of color and personality or you can fill it in black.

Add Cute Ghostly Eyes

1. Finish your drawing by giving the ghost adorable bright eyes.
2. Fill them in black leaving a few symmetrical unfilled circles to make the eyes look especially cute.
3. Review the drawing to see if all lines are clear and smooth.
