How to Draw Ghostfreak
Ben 10 can transform himself into many different alien forms in order to use their unique power to fight crime, protect his friends or defend the Earth. Many of these forms are terrifying to the average citizen, but even Ben is slightly shaken by the form of Ghostfreak. This odd creature has wraith-like spectral powers that make him more like an evil spirit than a crime-fighting super hero. Drawing this character allows you to create a creature that does not conform to typical anatomical norms. Ghostfreak has long, strange arms and one twisted eye on his misshapen head. All of these features can be very satisfying to see spring to life on the page.

Draw the head of Ghostfreak with a large cone shape. Add the torso with a rectangular shape under the cone. Create the tail-like body with a cylinder coming off the bottom of the figure. Draw the arms of Ghostfreak with one diagonal line for the upper arm and a vertical line for the forearm. The forearms on Ghostfreak should be longer than the upper arms. Add shoulder, elbow and hand guidelines with circles.

Flesh out Ghostfreak's arms with a parallel line running along each side of his arms. Add the knuckles with three lumps and the bottom of each hand. Add the strange cyclops-like eye of Ghostfreak with a diagonally tilted oval that tilts downwards and comes to a sharp point at the left and right side. Add the pupil to Ghostfreak's eyes with a short diagonal line inside the center of his eye.

Draw a band across Ghostfreak's head with a stripe that runs diagonally up from the bottom left corner of his head, around the eye, and up to the upper right side of his head. Draw a band on his left-side arm with a curved stripe shape that goes across the upper section of his forearm. Add a band to the right-side bicep with a curved stripe at the bottom of Ghostfreak's upper arm. Add bands across the creature's chest, starting with a stripe that starts at the corner of the right-side shoulder and continues across the chest to the bottom of the torso where it splits into three stripes. One stripe goes off diagonally to the right. The other two continue to the left side with one going diagonally up and the other going diagonally down.

Erase the circles from the elbows, hands and shoulders. Also erase the bottom guideline for the head, as well as the bottom of the chest and top of the tail cylinder. Ink the illustration of Ghostfreak, being sure to darken in the bands across his body. Let the ink dry, and erase your pencil lines.

Tips & Warnings
Ghostfreak can pass through solid objects, and you can illustrate this by drawing a chair or other object halfway inside and out of Ghostfreak.
Be sure to let the bands dry on Ghostfreak completely. These areas have more ink on them and can smudge long after the rest of the picture is dry.
