How to Draw a Witch- Simple Steps

Below are 10 easy steps. Do one at a time. Pause when you need.

Start by printing out the free tutorial at the bottom of the post. Follow along and have fun adding your own touches!

A red, roughly oval-shaped line drawn to represent the outline of a head, with the text STEP 1 written above it in black, as part of a How to Draw a Witch tutorial.

Head Shape

Draw the outline of the witch's head. Make it sort of angular or pointy around the chin, and a bit wider at the top.

A simple drawing labeled

Nose

Add a long, crooked nose coming off the side of her face. Don't worry about symmetry-crooked is cool!

A simple line drawing labeled STEP 3 shows a partially drawn animal head with a red outline of an open mouth, sharp teeth, and a tongue inside-perfect for those learning How to Draw a Witch's magical companion.

Mouth & Teeth

Sketch her mouth. Give her a big grin with jagged teeth to make her look wicked.

A drawing labeled

Eyes & Eyebrows

Draw two eyes. Make the eyebrows slanted down toward the middle to show attitude or mischief.

A cartoonish, evil-looking face with sharp features, exaggerated nose, sneering mouth, and large pointed ears outlined in red. Above the drawing, the text reads STEP 5 of How to Draw a Witch.

Ears

Add pointy ears on both sides of her head. They can stick out a bit for character.

Witch Hat

On top of her head, draw her witch hat: tall, pointy, maybe a bend or curve in it. You can add a band or buckle if you like.

Hair

Draw her hair flowing from under the hat. Let it wave or curl and maybe be messy to show she's been flying around.

Step 8 of the How to Draw a Witch tutorial shows a simple line drawing of a witch with a pointy hat, long nose, flowing hair, and robe outlined in red. She has a mischievous expression.

Cloak / Robe

Sketch the cloak or robe around her body. Let it drape, fold, or flutter-makes the picture more dynamic.

Broomstick

Add a broomstick under her hands. Draw her hands holding the stick if you like.

Broom's Bristles & Details

Finish the broom with bristles at the end (wispy or rough edges look good). Then go back and add any extra details-wrinkles in her clothes, shading, or small lines for texture.

Finishing Touches & Color

A green-skinned witch with red hair and a pointed hat flies on a broomstick, wearing a dark robe. The text above her reads STEP 11, showing progress in your How to Draw a Witch tutorial.

Once your drawing is done, you can trace over your final lines with a marker so they stand out. Then erase any extra pencil lines. Now for the fun part-coloring!

Here are some ideas:

  • Skin: maybe green for a classic witch, or another color if you want a friendly witch instead.
  • Hat & Cloak: black, purple, dark blue, or whatever spooky colors you like.
  • Broomstick: brown handle, golden or yellowish bristles.
  • Background or accents: moon, stars, maybe a haunted forest silhouette, if you want to draw more around the witch.

You did it-you drew a witch! Drawing something spooky can be super rewarding when you see it come together.

Keep practicing: try different styles, make the witch friendly or scary, change the pose, add a cat or potions. The more you draw, the more your witch drawings will reflect you.
