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 with a tall rounded dome for the head, then draw two straight sides going down. Finish the bottom with a wavy line of little scallops.
Step 3: Eyes and smile
Draw two round dots for eyes, side by side in the middle of the dome. Add a small curved smile below and between them.
Step 4: The hand
On the right side of the ghost, draw a small curved hand that sticks out from the body. This is the hand that will hold the lollipop.
Step 5: Lollipop top and stick
Above the hand, draw a big circle for the lollipop. Then draw a straight stick going down from the circle to the hand.
Step 6: Swirl and finger
Draw a small curly swirl inside the lollipop circle. Add a tiny loop at the bottom of the stick so the hand looks like it is gripping it.
Step 7: Side of the bucket
On the left, draw a big curved line like the letter C. Start it high up beside the ghost, curve it out and around, and end it near the ghost's side at the bottom.
Step 8: Pumpkin and lid
Inside the curve, draw a small round pumpkin with two curved lines for ridges and a tiny loop on top for the stem. Add a curved lid shape tipped to the right of the stem.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a ghost with candy
- Draw the ghost's body as a light oval first, then trace over it. This keeps both sides of the dome even.
- The wavy bottom is the trickiest part. Make the bumps like little hills, and keep each one about the same size.
- Draw the lollipop circle before the stick so the stick has a place to start. Let the stick end right at the hand.
