About This Article

To draw a ghost, first draw an upside-down U shape with tails that curve slightly outward to one side. This is the outline of your ghost’s body. Next, connect the two tails with a wavy line. This is the bottom of your ghost. Now draw a circle on the top left half of your ghost’s body for the first eye, followed by another circle to the right of it for the second eye. Draw two smaller circles inside of each eye, then shade in the eyes around the small circles. Finally, draw an upward-curving line under the eyes for the mouth.
