Cute Blanket Ghost Drawing Guide
This guide is designed to be super simple and fun to follow, making it perfect for all skill levels. We’ll skip the basic shapes and start build up to the final look from the first step, adding personality along the way. The ghost’s design is chibi-inspired, meaning the features are exaggerated and playful, which makes it even easier to draw. You don’t need any fancy tools — just a pencil, paper, and your Halloween spirit! Here’s how the guide works:
- Red: These lines highlight what you should be focusing on in the current step.
- Black: These lines show what you’ve already drawn in previous steps.
By the end, you’ll have an adorable little ghost ready to join your Halloween collection!
Start by drawing the top half of an oval. This will be the top part of your cute blanket ghost.
Draw the remaining part of the ghost, making wavy lines at the bottom to give the impression of a flowing blanket. Leave small spaces on each side between the line from step 1 where the hands will go.
Sketch two raised hands on either side of the ghost’s body, connecting them to the spaces you left in step 2.
Add two circles for the ghost’s eyes, and then draw a wide, happy mouth below. Fill the mouth with black.
Fill in the eyes with black, but leave small circular highlights inside each eye for a playful expression.
Draw two small horizontal ovals for the ghost’s cheeks, giving it a blushing look. Add two bold, curved lines above the eyes to create expressive eyebrows.
Review your ghost drawing and adjust any details that need defining. Smooth out the lines or enhance any areas that need more clarity.
To finish your drawing, add some simple colors — such as light blue shadows along the edges of the ghost’s body and light pink for the cheeks—to bring your ghost to life.
Once you’ve finished drawing your cute blanket ghost, review the details and make any final adjustments. If everything looks good, you can erase any remaining pencil marks and maybe add a few Halloween-themed decorations around your ghost.
