To draw a pumpkin, start by drawing an oblong shape that takes up about three-fourths of your paper. Then, draw a thick stem at the top of the oblong shape that curves to the left at the end. Next, draw curved lines along the face of your pumpkin that start at the top and bottom and end inside the oblong shape. Finally, trace the outline of your pumpkin in pen and erase any background lines. To learn how to draw a carved cartoon pumpkin, scroll down!

This is a perfect outdoor activity for these beautiful fall days But have no fear, if it’s cold or rainy you can do this indoors by using tape instead of chalk! This is great for kids because it gets them thinking and engaged in a game of tic-tac-toe, and gets them up and moving! If you don’t want to use pumpkins or gourds, you can wide a wide variety of fall/nature themed items: decorative corn, rocks, sticks, pinecones, etc, etc! Follow us to see our next fall activity idea!! #fallactivities #fall #halloween #halloweenactivities #fallactivitiesforkids #tictactoe #minipumpkin #gourds #kidsactivities #kidsactivity #kidsactivitiesathome #kidsoutdoorplay #playtime
Step 3
This step is particularly important. Here we should draw the lines on the pumpkin. Please note – the parts of the pumpkin, which are closest to us, appear much larger and wider than the those, that are farther. Another point – the further the lines are, the closer they are to each other.
Step 4
We work with the stem. Erase extra lines, so it does not seem transparent. Then draw a circle at its tip to designate thickness. Finally, using clear and confident lines draw the stem and outline a few lines inside it. Here draw the bottom of the pumpkin segments.
Step 5
Finish the lesson on how to draw a pumpkin by adding shadows. Note that the light falls on the left of us, then we will add shadows to the right parts of the segments. As you can see, the shadow is very simple – just a normal hatching. The density of the shadow controls the degree of pressure on the pencil.
