Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Sketching the Main Body

A light pencil sketch of a squared C-shape representing the back of an Among Us ghost character.

Draw a large, slightly squared 'C' shape on the right side of your paper. Teacher's Tip: Keep this shape loose and light; it serves as the foundation for the entire character.

Step 2: Closing the Oval

The completed oval body shape of the Among Us ghost drawn in light pencil.

Complete the oval shape by drawing the left side. Make it slightly uneven to give it a more organic, cartoonish feel. Tip: Don't worry about perfection; ghosts are meant to look a bit floaty!

Step 3: Adding the Visor

An egg-shaped visor added to the upper right section of the ghost's body.

Draw an egg shape in the top-right corner of the body. Ensure the left side of the egg is narrower than the right. Tip: This creates the perspective of the visor wrapping around the helmet.

Step 4: Creating the Ghostly Trail

A wavy line starting to form the bottom trailing edge of the ghost.

Sketch a vertical line extending from the bottom of the body, then curve it into a wavy line that trails downward. Tip: Use a fluid, continuous motion to make the ghost look like it's drifting.

Step 5: Finishing the Bottom Edge

The completed wavy bottom edge of the ghost's trailing body.

Continue the wavy line until it nearly reaches the other side of the page, resembling the hem of a curtain. Tip: Vary the size of your waves to give the ghost a more dynamic, ethereal appearance.

Step 6: Adding Internal Curves

An upward-pointing curve added to the interior of the ghost's body.

Draw a gentle curve that points upward inside the body. Tip: This helps define the ghost's posture and adds depth to the drawing.

Step 7: Completing the Shape

The completed outline of the ghost body with the dome shape connected.

Close the shape with a dome that connects back to the main oval. Tip: Ensure your lines meet cleanly to make the final inking process much easier.

Step 8: Adding the Backpack

A backpack shape sketched onto the left side of the ghost's body.

Sketch a curve on the left side of the body to represent the backpack. Tip: Think of it as a small 'D' shape attached to the back of the astronaut suit.

Step 9: Finalizing the Outline

The final inked outline of the Among Us ghost with pencil lines erased.

Connect the backpack to the body with a clean curve. Once you're happy with the sketch, trace over your lines with a black pen. Tip: Use thicker lines for the main body and thinner lines for the visor highlight to create visual contrast.

Step 10: Adding Color

A fully colored Among Us ghost with blue shading and a reflective visor.

Use two shades of blue for the body to create a ghostly, transparent look. Leave a white space on the visor for a reflection. Tip: To make it look truly transparent, try drawing a faint background behind the ghost.
