How to Draw a Halloween Ghost Face

Creating homemade ghost face decorations is an inexpensive way to decorate your house.

Knowing how to draw a cartoon ghost face is useful if you want to make homemade Halloween decorations. Draw your ghost faces on white construction paper, which will be sturdy enough to hang up and not tear. Afterward, hang the ghosts around your house and on your front door for trick-or-treaters to enjoy.

Things You'll Need

• White construction paper
• Pencils
• Black marker
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Create a simple outline for the ghost's head. Draw a circle for its head, and divide it into even quadrants to keep it in proportion. Trace the outline very lightly in pencil so it will not be visible later when you display it.

2. Sketch a pointed hood around the circle to serve as the top of the ghost's head. The hood should come together at the top in a point.

3. Draw the eyes and mouth of the ghost. To create a happy ghost, draw a smile on its face and wide eyes. If you want a meaner-looking face, sketch smaller eyes and a frown.

4. Add detail to your ghost's face. Draw extra lines under its mouth and around its eyes to create the illusion of depth. Outline the ghost face with a marker to make it pop out more.

5. Personalize your ghost. You can create many different versions of this ghost face. Think about adding such personal features as a caption bubble that says "Boo" or "Happy Halloween."

6. Cut out the ghost face if you are planning to use it as a Halloween decoration.

Tips & Warnings

• Hang up your ghost decorations with wall putty, because it will not remove paint or destroy your wall finish as tape might.
