How to Draw a Slice of Pumpkin Pie · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Pie front and top
Draw a tall line on the left, curve around the bottom corner, and run a long line to the right that rises a little. Then draw a second long line from the top of the left side going right, and add a short slanted line sticking up and left from that top corner.
Step 2: Crust and top edge
At the right end, draw a straight line down from the top of the front to the bottom. Draw a slanted line going up and right from the top, and let it curve down to meet the straight line. Then draw a bumpy, cloud-like edge outside it, up and over the top and back down to the bottom corner.
Step 3: Whipped cream swirl
On top of the slice, draw a flat oval for the bottom of the swirl. Stack two smaller rounded layers on top of it, then finish with a little curl sticking up.
Step 4: Eyes and smile
On the front of the slice, draw two small round dots for eyes, spaced wide apart. Between them, a little lower, draw a small curved smile.
Step 5: The fork prongs
To the right of the pie, draw a tall, narrow U shape that is open at the top. Add a line down the middle from the top to the bottom curve so the fork has three prongs.
Step 6: The fork handle
Below the prongs, draw two long straight lines going down, close together and side by side. Close the bottom with a rounded end.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a slice of pumpkin pie
- Start with the front of the slice and draw the long bottom line slowly, letting it tilt up a little toward the crust so the slice looks like it is sitting down.
- The bumpy crust is the trickiest part. Draw it as a row of little bumps, like a cloud, and do not worry if the bumps are different sizes.
- Draw the fork last and keep the three prongs about the same height, then check that the two handle lines start right under the U.

Questions about drawing a slice of pumpkin pie
What shapes do I need to draw a pumpkin pie slice?
You need a long wedge for the slice, a flat oval with smaller layers for the whipped cream, and a bumpy cloud line for the crust. The fork uses a tall U shape with a middle line, and two long handle lines.
How do I make my pie slice look cuter?
Add two round dot eyes and a small curved smile low on the front of the slice. Placing the face a little low and wide apart makes it look extra sweet.
How do I draw the bumpy crust edge?
Draw the curved line first as a guide, then add small rounded bumps along the outside, like a cloud. Go slowly and let each bump touch the next one.
