Great for kids and Halloween.","totalDurationSeconds":520,"difficulty":"easy","tools":["black fine point marker","pencil (optional)","eraser (optional)"],"materials":["drawing paper","oil pastels or crayons"],"steps":[{"number":1,"title":"Draw the Witch's Head as a U Shape Under a Hat Brim Line","text":"Draw a big U in the middle of your paper, a little above center. That is the witch's head. Now draw a long wobbly line across the top of the U for the bottom of her hat. Let it stick out past the head on both sides. A wider brim looks more like a witch hat, so push it further out if yours feels short."},{"number":2,"title":"Add the Witch's Shiny Eyes, Eyelashes, Nose and Smile","text":"Draw a circle for each eye, spaced wide apart inside the head. Color them in but leave a small white circle in each one so her eyes look shiny. Add two or three eyelashes on the outside corner of each eye. Draw a tiny curve for the nose, then a bigger U under it for a wide smile."},{"number":3,"title":"Draw the Witch Hat's Pointed Cone With a Curled Tip","text":"From each end of the brim, draw a diagonal line in toward the middle of the head. Stop about level with the top of the head. From the left line, go straight up and curl over at the top into a little hook. Bring the right side up to meet the curl, then back in. That bent tip is what makes it a witch hat."},{"number":4,"title":"Add the Square Buckle and Band to the Witch Hat","text":"Draw a square in the middle of the hat, a little above the brim. Draw a smaller square inside it so it looks like a buckle. Now add a curved line on each side of the buckle running out to the edges of the hat. Add a second curved line above each one to finish the band. A high band looks cute too."},{"number":5,"title":"Draw the Witch's Flared Dress Below Her Head","text":"Start under one side of the chin and draw a line that curves down and out. Do the same on the other side. Both lines should end at about the same height. Connect the bottoms with a straight line for the hem. You now have a short bell-shaped dress, wider at the bottom than the top."},{"number":6,"title":"Draw the Witch's Shoes With Little Heels","text":"Under the hem, draw a small U shape on each side for the shoes. Space them apart so there is a gap between her feet. Then add a tiny rectangle at the back of each shoe for a heel. Those little heels are a small detail, but they make them look like proper witch shoes."},{"number":7,"title":"Add a Pointed Collar to the Witch's Dress","text":"Draw an upside-down V right under her chin, in the center of the dress. From the top of the V, draw a curved line out to each side of the neck where the dress meets the head. That gives her a pointy collar. Later you will color it black so it stands out against the purple."},{"number":8,"title":"Draw the Witch's Arms and Hands at Her Sides","text":"On each side, draw a short diagonal line down from the collar for the outside of the arm. Connect it back into the dress. Add a curved line at the bottom of each arm for the hand, then a little bump for the thumb. Her arms should rest close to her sides so she looks tucked in and cozy."},{"number":9,"title":"Draw the Witch's Messy Zigzag Hair","text":"Start under the brim on one side of the face. Draw a wild zigzag line down past the cheek until it meets the dress. Do the same on the other side. Messy is good here. She is a witch, so her hair does not need to be neat. Keep the zigzags outside the face so they do not cover her eyes."},{"number":10,"title":"Color the Witch Purple and Green With Oil Pastels","text":"Color the hat and dress purple. Use green for the face and hands, orange for the hair and yellow for the buckle. Go over the band, collar and shoes in black. Press firmly with oil pastels for a bright, solid color. Pause the video at the end if you want to match the colors exactly."}],"recipe":null,"lastUpdated":"2026-09-27T15:06:18.276Z","published":"2026-09-27T15:06:13.627Z","license":"CC BY 4.0.
