Easy step by step pumpkin drawing
1.Simple Pumpkins with Face Options
- Draw a short bent stem.
- Under it, make a wide curve.
- Close the shape into a round pumpkin.
- Repeat to make more pumpkins.
- Add faces:
• Happy face (big smile).
• Triangle eyes + nose.
• Heart eyes + smile.
• Or keep it plain and draw a few soft vertical curves for the pumpkin sections.
2. Pile of Jack-o’-Lanterns
- Draw two round pumpkins side by side with short bent stems.
- Add a third pumpkin peeking from behind in the middle.
- Tuck a small fourth pumpkin behind on the right.
- Build the pile: add one more in front so you have a snug group of overlapping pumpkins.
- Trace the final outline darker, then add simple triangle eyes and smiling mouths to turn them into jack-o’-lanterns.
3. Pumpkin-Head Character
- Start with a tiny bent rectangle for the stem.
- Under it, draw a curved “C” shape for the top of the pumpkin.
- Close the circle to make the pumpkin head and attach the stem.
- Sketch two slanted lines under the head for the shoulders (a ghost-like robe shape).
- Extend the robe down with wavy sides; add one arm.
- On the pumpkin, draw eyes, nose, and a mouth; in the hand, draw a stick and a curved blade to make a friendly scythe.
4. Pumpkins on a Vine
- Place 2–3 round pumpkins at different heights.
- Draw a long, slightly curved branch under them.
- Add stems and a few flowing vine lines that trail left and right.
- Sketch leaf shapes (teardrops/almonds) along the vines.
- Overlap a couple of leaves in front of the pumpkins for depth.
- Add gentle vertical curves on the pumpkins to show sections.
- Go over the best lines, thicken the branch, and clean extra marks—your vine of pumpkins is ready!
