How to Draw a Classic Witch Silhouette for Halloween

If you’re looking to draw something spooky and iconic for Halloween, then learning how to draw a witch silhouette on a broomstick is a great place to start. This guide will take you through the process in just 12 simple steps. Unlike other guides that might include a rough sketch phase, this one jumps right into bolder lines, making it easier to follow.

About the Witch Silhouette on a Broomstick

In this silhouette, the witch is flying on a broomstick. With her pointed hat and windswept cape, she’s a classic symbol of Halloween. Below are the key points of the drawing:

  • A witch in a classic pointed hat
  • Her long cape trailing behind
  • The broomstick she’s flying on
  • The overall silhouette style, making it bold and simple

This drawing focuses on creating a sharp, clear silhouette, with no rough sketch stage. It’s a fun way to create a simple, yet iconic witch image. There’s also a chibi-style witch on a broomstick guide if you’re looking for something a bit more playful!

Guide to Drawing the Witch Silhouette

This guide is easy to follow, with bold lines from the start. The Red Color: in the images represents the current step you should be focusing on, while the black lines show the areas you’ve already drawn. Since there is no rough sketch phase, we won’t be using grey color this time.

Step 1 – Start with the base of the witch’s hat, a simple shape as seen in the image for this step.
