When it becomes boring to draw banal houses and trees, it comes to mind to depict some fairy-tale heroes from cartoons or comics loved by adults and children. The first thing that comes to mind will, of course, be the familiar ghost that lives on the roof. Drawing it is not at all as difficult as it seems at first glance. How to draw a ghost will be described in this article.
A ghost can be good or evil, depending on your plan. However, all of them without exception are united by one important detail: all ghosts have an amorphous body, that is, their silhouette actually spreads and does not have clear outlines. Now we will look at how to draw a ghost with a kind smile.
Start drawing
As with any other drawing, you need to understand how to draw a cast in stages. First of all, you need to start with the head. And since the head and torso of the ghosts are almost inseparable from each other, it’s worth drawing a small circle at the top of the paper sheet - this will be his alleged head.
The dimensions of the head correspond with the body approximately as one to three. The head usually has a round shape, but can also be elongated - if desired.
Ghost torso
Having drawn a circle, you can begin to draw a torso. Usually it has the shape of an oval or circle. The body should be smoothly connected to the head and erase all unnecessary lines.
Sometimes ghosts are depicted with hands or something like hands. To do this, short limbs or tentacles should be drawn on both sides of the body approximately in the middle or slightly higher. You can draw fingers.
Next, draw a ghost “bottom”, as these fabulous creatures have no legs. Usually the bottom is depicted as a tattered fabric or narrowed if the ghost looks like Gin from a fairy tale. It should be borne in mind that some ghosts may have a kind of “train” or even a tail. For greater realism, creases and folds should be drawn on the fabric. So the ghost will gain a certain volume and will seem revived and mobile.
Ghosts of Ghost
After the body and basic details are drawn , the ghost can be depicted with a face. You can leave it faceless, but you can also figure out how to draw a ghost with a funny grimace. In this case, start from the eyes. Eyes can be represented as dots or ovals. So the ghost will turn out mysterious. But since we decided that our ghost would be kind, his face should be given a good-natured expression. To do this, in empty ovals, you can draw perky pupils. It’s also worth a smile. To do this, draw a crescent or just a rounded line in the lower third of the head, from which a smiling mouth will go down. Here is our ghost and done!
If you need to draw an evil ghost, then the smile should be replaced with a twisted mouth or an evil sly smile. You can also leave a smile with a slightly twisted mouth instead of a smile. For greater credibility, you can draw flattened or raised eyebrows above the eyes.
What other ghosts can you draw?
The imagination of the artist can be truly limitless, therefore the ideas on how to draw a ghost can be completely different. All their diversity can be seen in the figure below.
You can draw a ghost evil or good, funny or sad. It all depends on the author’s ideas. Also, a ghost can be painted in different colors: for example, draw an evil ghost black or gray, good - white or purple. A simple ghost may look like Carlson dressed in a white sheet from a cartoon, or it may be more difficult to perform if the author wants to portray him as a perky Casper with hands and big kind eyes. You can draw with paints, felt-tip pens. This article described how to draw a ghost in pencil.
