How to draw a ghost drinking hot chocolate step by step
How to Draw a Ghost Drinking Hot Chocolate · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The ghost body
Start on the left side about halfway up and draw a big tall dome over the top, like an upside-down U. Let the right side slope down, then finish the bottom with a wavy line like little hills that curls up a little on the left.
Step 3: The mug
On the left of the ghost, draw a cup. Start with a flat line across the top, then add two sides that slant in a little and join with a rounded bottom.
Step 4: The mug handle
Add a C-shaped handle on the left side of the mug. Start and end it on the mug wall.
Step 5: The whipped cream
Draw a short bumpy line poking up above the top of the mug. Start at the left end of the rim and make two or three puffy bumps to the right, ending at the right end of the rim.
Step 6: The little arm
On the ghost's body, to the right of the mug, draw a curved line like a letter C. Start near the top, curve around to the left, and sweep back to the right at the bottom.
Step 7: The happy face
Draw two round dots high on the ghost's face with space between them, and fill them in. Add a tiny U-shaped smile low between the dots.
Step 8: Steam and cream edge
Finish the left side of the whipped cream with a small curve down to the rim. Then add two short curved lines above the mug on the left to show the drink is warm.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a ghost drinking hot chocolate
- Draw the flat line across the top of the mug first. The sides and bottom are much easier once the top is in place.
- Make the whipped cream bumpy and uneven, like a cloud. Perfect shapes look less fluffy.
- Keep the little arm as an open curve. It does not need to close into a shape.

Questions about drawing a ghost drinking hot chocolate
What shapes do I need to draw a ghost with hot chocolate?
You need a big dome with a wavy bottom, a cup shape with a flat top for the mug, a C shape for the handle, and two dots and a small curve for the face. A bumpy line makes the whipped cream.
How do I make my ghost look cuter?
Put the eyes high on the face with space between them, and keep the smile very small. Round, simple shapes make it look friendly.
How do I draw the wavy bottom of the ghost?
Think of a row of small hills. Move your pencil up and down in gentle bumps, and keep the bumps about the same size.
