🧡 How to Draw a Pumpkin – Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Draw the Pumpkin Base

Start by sketching a vertical oval in the center of your paper. This will be the middle section of your pumpkin.

Step 2: Add the First Crescent Shape

On the left side of your oval, draw a curved crescent shape to begin forming the pumpkin’s ridges.

Step 3: Add the Second Crescent

Mirror that same crescent shape on the right side of your oval to balance the pumpkin.

Step 4: Continue Building the Pumpkin Shape

Add more crescent shapes to the left and right sides (3–5 total). These give your pumpkin its classic rounded appearance.

Step 5: Draw the Stem

At the top of your pumpkin, add a short rectangle or curved shape for the stem. You can even give it a little twist for character!

Step 6: Time to Color!

Color your pumpkin using classic fall tones like orange, green, and brown—or get creative with your own color palette!

🎨 Pro Tips:

• Want a taller pumpkin? Start with a longer oval.

• For a chubbier pumpkin, make your oval shorter and wider.

• Every pumpkin is unique, so don’t stress about perfection—just have fun!
