Draw it step by step

Six steps to a witch

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the head

Draw one big circle in the middle of your paper. Wobbly is fine — a wobbly circle makes a friendlier witch.

2

Add the pointed hat

One long curve across the top of her head for the wide brim. Then two lines climbing up from it, and a point that flops over to one side.

3

Give her a face

Two dot eyes high on the circle, a small pointed nose under them, and a wide smile. This witch is pleased to see you.

4

Draw the cloak

One wide triangle from her cheeks down to the floor. Let the bottom edge wave a little, the way cloth does.

5

An arm and a broom

One arm out to the side, with a round fist at the end. Then a straight stick through the fist, and a fat bundle of bristles at the bottom.

6

Finishing touches

A few wisps of hair falling out from under the brim, and a band around the hat. Now this witch is yours.

Go further

Now draw a witch whose broom is a vacuum cleaner.
