How to Draw a Ghost
What you need:

- paper
- pencil or black marker
Step by Step Ghost Drawing Instructions
Step 1
Start by drawing a curved shape (like a upside down letter U). This will be the top part of the ghost’s head.
Step 2
Draw hands – you can keep them simple, with drawing “U” shapes, or make them more detailed.
Step 3
Let’s start working on the body. Start on the left side, drawing a curved line from the hand downwards.
Step 4
Now move to the right side and draw another curved line, ending it above the first one.
Step 5
Complete with the wiggly “tail”.
Step 6
Now comes the face. If you want your ghost to look happy, draw “normal” eyes, and a “moon” shaped mouth. This way your ghost won’t look scary at all.
If you want a scary one, color the eyes all black and draw the “moon” shape with it’s end points turned downwards. You can even add a diagonal line on top of the eyes to make the ghost look angry. Scary isn’t it.
All done, you have learned how to draw a ghost!

Step by Step Spiderweb Drawing Instructions
Version 1 – How to Draw a Cobweb
Step 1
Start by drawing a cross, draw one horizontal line and one vertical line.
Step 2
Draw two more lines, this time diagonals.
Step 3
Start weaving your web. Start with the inner “circle” making a small arch from one line to the other. We drew ours from the diagonal line to the vertical one.
Step 4
Continue with the next arch, starting it where the previous one ended.
Step 5
Now make more, all way around until you meet the first one.
Step 6
Make more “circles”. Weave your web until you are happy with how it looks like.
All done, you have learned how to draw a regular spiderweb!
Version 2 – How to Draw a Corner Spiderweb
Step 1
Start by drawing one horizontal line and one vertical line – at a right angle.
Step 2
Draw a few diagonal lines in between the horizontal and vertical line. We think 3 is a nice number but you can make more of them or less of them.
Step 3
Start weaving your web. Start by drawing the first arch, starting from the vertical line and going to the diagonal one.
Step 4
Make more arches, until you get to the horizontal line.
Step 5
Continue with the next set of arches.
Step 6
And all subsequent ones, until your corner cobweb looks as it should.
All done, you have learned how to draw a corner spiderweb.
