Drawing Materials I Used
To make this drawing, I used Ohuhu Honolulu markers in the colors Grayish Yellow (Y110), Soft Sun (E160), and Black Brown (BR208).
You can also buy these colors separately on their website.
I used a Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pen to outline the sketch.
And I made this drawing on Canson Illustration Manga Paper.
How Do You Draw an Adorable Ghost?
Step 1: Sketch the Outline of the Cute Ghost
To sketch the outline of our cute ghost, I first drew a big curve towards the top of the paper. It's shaped like the top half of a circle.
Next, I extended the left side downwards and curved it to the right and slightly up. It looks almost like an upside-down egg shape.
Then, I added a hook shape to the right side to form the tail. Well, not a real tail, more like the ghost’s body fading away.
And to complete the outline, I added a short line to connect the bottom of the "tail".
Step 2: Add the Ghost’s Arms
After that, I added two bean-shaped arms to either side of the body of the ghost. I drew his right arm pointing up as if he's waving.
Step 3: Draw the Ghost’s Face
Next, I added 2 small circles in the middle of the top half of the ghost. These will be his eyes.
I also added a small circle to the top of each of his eyes.
And I erased the part of the outline that overlaps with his right arm.
Then, I added his mouth, which is just a small curved shape, and his blush spots, which are two circles below his eyes.
Step 4: Add a Shadow Below the Ghost
And to complete the sketch, I added an ellipse shape to mark his shadow.
I didn't connect the shadow to his body to show that he's floating.
Step 5: Outline the Ghost with a Black Pen
Before coloring the ghost, I like to outline it first with a black brush pen.
I first erased the whole sketch and then outlined it, except for his blush spots and the shadow.
I also colored his eyes, except for the 2 sparkles at the top.
You could leave it here and call it done, but I like to color my drawings.
Step 6: Color Your Cute Ghost Drawing
To color our adorable ghost, I used 3 alcohol based Ohuhu markers.
I started by coloring the whole ghost with Grayish Yellow (Y110).
Next, I added shadows to the right and bottom edges with Soft Sun (E160), and I colored his blush spots with Black Brown (BR208).
