How to Draw this Halloween Ghost

in #drawing8 years ago

Draw this fun little ghost

Penciling

Start with lightly sketching a simple body shape. Not all ghost are the same so have fun with it. Block in some simple arms. Rough in shapes, and then as the lines ring true to you, darken and thicken the lines to firmly establish them in the drawing. Do your lettering the same way. Rough shape and then refine. Be sure to keep the face simple and expressive.

Inking

I'm using a brush marker, but any marker will do. Just be sure to vary line thickness. It helps the eye distinguish objects. Also thicker black lines on an object read as shadow. Over all varying line weights add interest to whatever your drawing.

Clean up

Once you have laid down all the black you desire. Let everything dry for awhile then erase. Use a kneadable eraser, to get all of your pencil marks up without tearing up the paper. Use whiteout to fix details.
