Instructions
- Draw a pumpkin shape, it is a rounded shape with that dip in the top and the bottom. You can draw yours in the same shape as I did as you learn.
- Draw 2-3 vertical smile lines on the left side of the pumpkin and as you cross over the centerline of the pumpkin, the vertical smile lines will shift to the other direction.
- Next, we draw the stem on top of the pumpkin. A stem is a variation on a cylinder. We have drawn them before. Draw two lines up from the center top of the pumpkin and an oval on the top to connect them.
- Draw a curlicue line (or two) to represent a tendril from the pumpkin vines.
- A leaf is two dipping lines that connect on each end. I usually draw a line down the center of the leaf and maybe even a couple vein lines.
- Now, if you would like to make your pumpkin into a jack-o-lantern, that is easy to do! If not, skip over the jack-o-lantern instructions down to the shading steps.
- Draw two triangle eyes and a triangle nose.Then draw a toothy big grin underneath.
- We will imagine that our light source is to the top right of the pumpkin.Draw some contour lines on the left side of the stem and pumpkin. Do some shading on the left side of the pumpkin with the side of your pencil lead. Use your finger to do a bit of blending in the shaded areas.

Notes
After some practice, alter the shape of the pumpkin and make the stem taller or wider. Change the jack o lantern face to make it unique!
