Halloween is all about spooky and playful characters, and what’s better than drawing a running skeleton to add some motion to your artwork? This cartoonish skeleton, caught mid-stride, is a simple but energetic character that’s perfect for Halloween projects. In this guide, you’ll learn step by step how to draw a cartoon skeleton in a running pose that looks both cute and spooky. Let’s get started!
About the Running Skeleton
- Cartoonish style: The skeleton has exaggerated features in the skull, hands, and feet.
- Dynamic pose: It’s frozen in a running motion, with one leg raised and the arms pumped.
- Simple bone shapes: Each bone is simplified, making it easier to draw while still capturing the essence of a skeleton.
After finishing your running skeleton, why not try drawing other Halloween classics? You could create dancing skeletons, a cute simple skeleton, a black cat, a vampire, or even a witch to keep your Halloween theme going!
