Step by Step Pumpkin Drawing Instructions
Step 1
Start by drawing two curved lines – make a letter C on the left and an inverted C on the right.
Step 2
Connect the endpoints at the top and bottom by drawing 3 arches between them (3 on top and 3 on the bottom).
Step 3
Take a look at the middle arch on top and on the bottom.
Draw two curved lines to make the first rib of your pumpkin. This one can be a bit wider.
Step 4
Draw two more curved lines. You can already see your pumpkin taking form.
Step 5
From the middle arch, draw two curved lines for the stem.
Step 6
Draw a circle on top of the stem to complete it.
Step 7
Add an arched line on the left…
Step 8
Draw another arched line on the right.
Step 9
Draw a vine. All done, you have learned how to draw a pumpkin.
Step 10
Color your pumpkin drawing.
