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 round head
Draw the bottom of a big round head, like a bowl, a little wider than it is tall. Leave the top open for now, because the hat will cover it.
Step 3: The hat brim
Draw a wide, flat oval across the open top of the head, like a squashed circle. It is a little wider than the head and sits on it like a plate.
Step 4: The pointy hat
On top of the brim, draw a short triangle with a slightly bent tip. Then add a small square buckle in the middle of the bottom of the triangle.
Step 5: Face and body pieces
Draw two small dots for eyes, side by side in the middle of the face, and a little curved smile below them. Then add the small starter marks under the head: two short neck lines, two pairs of short leg lines, and a small bucket shape on the right for the broom bristles.
Step 6: The dress
Under the head, draw the right side of a short dress, slanting out from the neck down to the bottom. Add a wavy line along the bottom for the hem, and one straight line down the middle of the bucket shape.
Step 7: Arms and hands
Draw a long oval on each side of the dress for the arms. At the bottom of the left arm, add a small rounded hand.
Step 8: Pointy shoes
At the bottom of the short legs, draw two shoes with curly, pointy toes that stick out to the sides.
Step 9: Broom and star
Draw a tall straight line next to the witch for the broom handle, and tie a small loop where it meets the bristles. Add a few lines down the bristles, then a little star in the middle of the dress.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a kid in a witch costume
- Draw the hat brim as a wide, flat oval first, then set the small cone on top so the hat looks like it sits on the head.
- The curly shoes are the trickiest part. Start with a simple rounded shoe shape, then pull the toe out to a point.
- Keep the broom handle straight by drawing it with a ruler, or by making one slow, steady line from top to bottom.

Questions about drawing a kid in a witch costume
What shapes do I need to draw a witch costume?
You need a round shape for the head, an oval for the hat brim, a triangle for the hat top and a trapezoid for the dress. The arms, shoes and broom are made from simple ovals, curved shapes and lines.
How do I make my witch look cuter?
Keep the eyes small and far apart, and give her a little smile. A big round head and a hat with a wide brim also make her look friendlier.
How do I draw a witch hat that sits right?
Draw the flat oval brim first, then place the cone so its bottom edge sits in the middle of the oval. That way the hat looks like it sits on the head.
