How to Draw a Chibi Ghost

Step 1.


The first thing to drawing a chibi ghost is making a large circle. This is going to be for the body, and the head.

Step 2.


Using a squiggle stroke, begin drawing out the actual shape of the ghost's head. There is a wispy trail behind the head like you see here. It almost looks like the top of a witches hat.

Step 3.


Now you can draw out the big oval shaped eyes, and then make the chibi style signature mouth. When that is done you can draw in the small fin shaped arms, and sketch in the blush marks on the cheeks.

Step 4.


Well folks, I'm sorry to say but this lesson is officially over once you have drawn out the rest of the body. I like ghost styles that have cone shaped tunnels for the end of the misty body. Once you have drawn in that part of the body you can erase    

Step 5.


This is how your chibi ghost looks when you are all done. You can choose to color it in, or leave this drawing the way it is. I hope you had fun with drawing a chibi ghost.

Description: As you know I have been filling a lot of requests for chibi Halloween characters. So far I did a few, and one of the ones I am missing is a tutorial on "how to draw a chibi ghost", step by step. Trying to conjure up a design for a chibi ghost was sort of hard. I had to think of something that was believable, had character, and still maintained some sort of cuteness. I decided to go with a real simple design that had some similarity to Casper. The big head and big eyes was an idea that came from Casper’s design, and then the small wispy body came from a dusting idea of a thick white smudged out cloud. The end result came out to be what I expected which makes me pleased with myself. Anyways the steps and instructions are going to make this drawing experience a breeze. I will leave you now so you can start drawing a chibi ghost of your own. Thanks guys, and enjoy!
