In today’s guide, we will be learning how to draw our very own pumpkin! This surprisingly simple tutorial is made of only 9 easy steps! If you follow the step-by-step instructions, soon you can have your very own pumpkin sitting on the page before you.

Pumpkins are very round and ovular objects that are extremely easy to draw. Only simple shapes are needed to draw a pumpkin.

As we begin the tutorial, you are going to want to sketch out the pumpkin very lightly. Any pencil marks too hard will prevent you from erasing away mistakes and imperfections in the long run.

Before you start sketching, it is important that you visualize the final product on the paper. This will make sure that you won’t squish or distort any of the shapes we will be drawing.

In the guide below, each step is highlighted in a light blue color.

You will need a pencil, pen, or whatever your chosen medium may be. Now finally, let's get right into it!
