Learn to Draw a Cartoon Ghost in 4 Steps

If you clicked on this because you want to learn how to draw a cartoon ghost, then you are in the right place.

If not…. Then I can’t help you.

I’ve done years of research and tests to figure out the easiest way to draw a cartoon ghost. I know you don’t wanna do all that, and that’s why I’ve broken it down into 4 easy to follow steps. So that even YOU can learn to be a cartoonist just like me.

Step 1: Draw the Ghost’s Body

We can draw the start of a ghost body with one simple line. Just draw an arched line. See how easy that was? You’re already one step closer to learning how to draw a ghost!!

Step 2: Draw the Ghost Feet

This Ghost needs some feet. Ghost feet are kinda funny because they don’t really look like feet. A wavy line makes the perfect ghost feet. Awesome, now this ghost can float around and scare people. If you like this, you might also enjoy my How to Draw a Jack-o-lantern tutorial.

Step 3: Draw a Ghost Face

The next thing this ghost needs is a face. I like a cute face. So, that’s the direction I went. You can go whichever way you want. Some people like to draw scary ghosts and that’s ok. You can also try my How to Draw a Skull tutorial for more spooky drawing practice.

Step 4: Scratch That Ghost up!!

This step is always optional, but I like it (it’s one of my favorite steps). Add scratches to the ghost. It will give a sense of subtle texturing that will trick people into thinking you are really good at drawing.

Bonus Step: Color and Shade

Bonus step is always the same. Ghosts are pretty easy to color. They don’t even need to be white. After that, pick a light source and keep it in mind as you shade and highlight this little ghost.

There you have it. Now you know how to draw a cartoon ghost, and just in time for halloween too. Heck, you’re prolly even better than me at this point.
