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.

Step 2 – Draw the top part of the hat, giving it a pointy, bent shape typical of a witch’s hat.

Step 3 – Add the witch’s face, neck part, and flowing hair as they extend from under the hat. Keep it simple with sharp lines.

Step 4 – Sketch the main body shape. Try to create the same curved shape as in the image, with a bend at the waist.

Step 5 – Draw the first arm reaching out towards the broomstick and holding it firmly. Keep the lines smooth.

Step 6 – Draw the long handle of the broom, extending it beneath the witch. Make sure it’s straight and continues from her hand.

Step 7 – Now add the second hand holding the broomstick. It should look like she’s firmly gripping the broom.

Step 8 – Draw the hips and the legs down to the knees, using the same rounded shape as shown in the image for this step.

Step 9 – Draw the first leg, making sure the high heel is prominent.

Step 10 – Repeat the same shape for the second leg with the same high heel look.

Step 11 – Add the flowing cape behind the witch and the bristled end of the broom. Make the cape look like it’s blowing in the flight.

Step 12 – Review the drawing, fixing any uneven lines or shapes. Refine the details, and optionally ink the drawing to make it bold.

Once you finish your witch silhouette, consider trying another spooky drawing. You might enjoy drawing a haunted house or a black cat, which would go perfectly with this witch!
