How to Draw a Pumpkin

This easy pumpkin drawing starts with a short stem and a curved top line. Add the center body, side lobes, and inner rib curves. Carve the eyes, nose, and gray grin last. Follow the steps. Each picture adds a few lines.

Step by step

Each picture adds a few lines to the last one. Copy the new lines, then keep going.

Step 1
Draw the stem
Start with a short stem: a small rounded top, then a short curved line under it with a tiny knob on each end.
Step 2
Draw the center body
Hang a tall round body from the stem. This front piece sits in the middle and will hold the face.
Step 3
Add the side lobes
Add a full round lobe on the left and one on the right. They sit a little behind the center and make the pumpkin wide.
Step 4
Add the rib curves
Draw one inner curve on the left and one on the right. Keep them short, inside the side lobes.
Step 5
Carve the eyes
Cut two triangle eyes in the center body, points up. Keep them off the rib lines, and fill them in.
Step 6
Carve the nose
Add a smaller upright triangle nose between the eyes. Fill it with a dark color.
Step 7
Carve the gray grin
Add a wide gray smile across the center. Cut two square notches for teeth.
