How to Draw a Wagon Full of Pumpkins (Easy Step by Step)
A wagon piled with pumpkins is a cozy fall scene, and it is made from shapes you already know. The pumpkins are rounded shapes with curved ribs, the wagon is a long box, and the wheels are circles with a small square and a few slanted lines. Once you can draw those, you can fill your own wagon with as many pumpkins as you like.

Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: Big pumpkin top and ribs
Draw a curved line like an upside-down U for the top and sides of the big pumpkin. Inside it, add one more curved line on the left and one on the right to make the bumpy ribs.
Step 3: The curly stem
On top of the big pumpkin, draw a short stem going up. Bend it over and finish with a little curl at the end.
Step 4: The pumpkin on the right
Next to the big pumpkin, draw a second pumpkin with a rounded top and sides. Add two curved ribs inside that cross each other near the bottom.
Step 5: Wagon box and small pumpkin
Under the pumpkins, draw a long, flat box with a line across the middle and a bottom edge. On the left, draw a bumpy rounded top for a small pumpkin peeking over the box.
Step 6: The wheels
Under the wagon, draw two circles, one near each end. Let the tops tuck up behind the bottom of the box.
Step 7: Hub and spokes
In the middle of the right wheel, draw a tiny square. Then draw four short slanted lines from the square out to the edge of the wheel, like an X.
Step 8: Wheel, ribs, and handle
Give the left wheel a tiny square and four slanted lines, just like the right wheel. Add two short curved ribs inside the small pumpkin on the left. Then draw a slanted handle line going down and away from the left end of the wagon, with a small circle at the end.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a wagon full of pumpkins
- Draw the big pumpkin first and let the other pumpkins sit partly behind it. Lines that stop where they touch another shape make things look layered.
- For the ribs, curve your lines like parentheses, bending away from the middle of the pumpkin. Two ribs are enough to make it look bumpy.
- Draw each wheel circle slowly. Use a plate or a cup as a guide if you want it rounder, then add the little square and the slanted lines.
