If you love this unusual holiday as well, then this will be a tutorial that’s not to be missed! This is a guide that you will certainly want to see all the way to the end.
Our step-by-step guide on how to draw a Halloween kid in just 6 easy steps will show you how to create a wonderful interpretation of this spooky event!
How to Draw A Halloween Kid – Let’s Get Started!
Step 1
During this guide on how to draw a Halloween kid, we will be portraying a little girl who is dressed in a witch outfit. To begin this process, we will start with the hat that she is wearing.
This will look like a traditional witch’s hat, as shown in the reference image. This means that you can use some curved lines for the large rim of the hat. Then, it will have a belt around the top of the rim.
Finally, use some more curved lines for the top of the hat. It will get quite thin and pointy near the top, and it will be flopping over as well.
With this hat drawn, we can then proceed to step 2 of the guide!
Step 2 – Now, draw the face for this Halloween kid
This second part of your Halloween kid drawing will have you drawing the head and face of the kid.
First, use some curved, wavy lines for the locks of hair dropping down from her hat. Then, draw some ovals with circles inside of them for her eyes.
We will then use some simple curved lines for her nose and mouth, and then use some more for the outline of her head.
Once these aspects are complete, you will be ready for the third part of this guide.
Step 3 – Draw the outfit for this Halloween kid
In this third step of our guide on how to draw a Halloween kid, we will be focusing on the outfit that she is wearing.
We will be using a lot of curved lines for the outlines of this outfit, as we want it to look quite puffy.
There will be some thick shapes used for the outlines of the sleeves, and the skirt will fan out at an angle as well.
Then, we will draw her hands extending down from the sleeves where she shall be grasping her Halloween basket in a future step.
Step 4 – Next, draw the legs for this Halloween kid
Before you add the final details for this Halloween kid drawing in the next step, we will first draw some legs for her.
There will be a big empty space near the top of the legs, as this will be where the basket will be going later on.
As for the legs, you can use some curved lines for the outlines and then draw some lines across them for the patterns on her long socks.
Finish off by drawing her shoes, and then you will be ready for those final details that we mentioned as we move to the next step!
Step 5 – Add the final details to your Halloween kid drawing
Trick or treating would be made quite difficult without a container to receive candy in, so that’s why we will draw a treat basket in this step of our guide on how to draw a Halloween kid.
These baskets will often take on the theme of a Halloween jack-o-lantern, and this one is no different.
Use some curved lines for the outlines of the basket, and then add some lines vertically along it.
Then, draw the jagged eyes, nose and mouth for the face of the lantern. You could also go for a different design for this basket if you prefer!
One idea would be to draw a cauldron-shaped basket, but there are many ideas that you could also go for instead.
You could also draw a Halloween background or even add some more costumed kids! How do you think you will go about finishing off this image?
Step 6 – Finish off your Halloween kid drawing with color
All of the outlines for this amazing Halloween kid drawing are complete, and that means that you’re ready for some coloring fun as you finish it off!
Witches are often associated with the color purple, and for that reason we went with purple as the primary color for this image.
We used purples for her hat and outfit, and then incorporated some orange for the jack-o-lantern. Then, for her socks we used some white and red stripes.
These are the colors that we went with, but they are merely a suggestion! You could go for these same colors in your own picture, but there’s also a lot of freedom to use any of your own color choices instead.
You could also play around with different art tools and mediums for some color variations, so what will you decide on when finishing this image?
