If you're looking to get into the spooky spirit of Halloween and want to try your hand at drawing, we have just the thing for you! In this easy drawing lesson, we will guide beginner artists through the process of drawing five iconic Halloween characters. So grab your pencils and let's get started!
1. Halloween cat:
To begin, draw a large circular shape for the head. Add two triangles for ears and a small circular shape for the nose. Then, draw two curved lines for the eyes and a curved line for the mouth. Add some whiskers on each side of the nose and draw a small triangle on the forehead for decoration. Finally, draw a curvy shape for the body and add some stripes.
2. Witch:
Start by drawing an oval shape for the head, and attach a long curved line for the hat. Add two triangles on top of the hat and connect them with a curved line. Then, draw two dots for eyes and a curved line for the nose. Add a curved line for the mouth and draw some small lines for the teeth. Finally, draw a dress shape under the head and add some details like a belt and sleeves.
3. Jack-o'-lantern:
Begin by drawing a big circle for the pumpkin shape. Then, draw two triangles on top for the eyes and a zigzag line for the mouth. Add a small curvy shape for the stem at the top. To give it a spooky look, draw some lines around the eyes and mouth to create a carved effect. Feel free to add some shading to make it more realistic!
4. Skeleton:
Start by drawing a vertical line for the spine. Then, add two circles for the head and hips. Connect the head and hips with curved lines for the neck and ribcage. Draw long curved lines for the arms and legs. Add some rounded shapes for the hands and feet. Finally, draw some smaller lines to indicate the bones and joints.
5. Ghost:
Begin by drawing a big oval shape for the head. Add two small circles for the eyes and a curved line for the mouth. Draw a flowing shape for the body, making sure it connects with the head. To make it look more ghostly, erase some parts of the body lines to create a wispy effect. You can also draw some lines underneath for the ghostly tail.
There you have it! With these simple steps, you can easily draw five Halloween characters: a cat, witch, Jack-o'-lantern, skeleton, and ghost. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don't be discouraged if your first attempt doesn't turn out exactly as planned. Have fun and let your creativity shine this Halloween season!
