Level: beginner
Tutorial steps: 7

Step 1

To begin, draw a large circle as the general shape of our pumpkin. Then draw a second oval shape on it's side near the top of the large circle where the root of the pumpkin will be.

Step 2

Now add the eyes, nose and mouth on the pumpkin. In the reference image above you'll see the iconic style shapes for the face, but you can draw your own shapes for the eyes, nose and mouth if your prefer.

Step 3

Now in this third step we'll add detail around the eyes, nose and mouth as shown in red in the reference image above, to create depth to the eye holes, nose hole and mouth. Then add in the broken root shape sticking out from the top of our pumpkin starting from the oval shape.

Step 4

Here's where we'll start drawing in our ribbed section of the pumpkin skin. Let's start by drawing the four lines down the face starting at the top and down to the bottom point of the pumpkin as shown in the reference image above. Be sure allow some space between each line. Now add a couple of lines on the pumpkin root at the top.

Step 5

It's time to draw the remaining skin lines around the rest of the body, from the top down to the bottom of the pumpkin.

Step 6

Now our pumpkin body is ready with all the face and lines showing the body shape of the pumpkin. It's looking great!

Step 7

Our final step here is to colour the eye holes, nose hole and inside the mouth with black which makes the pumpkin's face look like it has real holes for the face.

And that's it! Our creepy pumpkin is finished. Perfect for Halloween.
