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: The pumpkin body
Draw a wide, round shape for the pumpkin, a little wider than it is tall. Leave the top open, because the hat brim will cover it.
Step 3: The hat brim
Draw a flat, wide oval across the top of the pumpkin, like a plate. Its bottom edge closes the open top of the pumpkin.
Step 4: The pointy hat
Start on the top of the brim and draw two lines that lean up to a point. Curl the tip over to the right like a bent witch hat.
Step 5: The hat band
Draw two curved lines across the bottom of the hat, just above the brim. Add a small square buckle in the middle.
Step 6: The pumpkin ribs
Draw one curved line down from the brim on each side, bending outward like parentheses. End each one at the bottom of the pumpkin.
Step 7: The triangle eyes
Between the two ribs, draw two small triangles with the points facing down. Put one on each side and keep them the same size.
Step 8: Nose, smile and tooth
Draw a tiny dot for the nose between the eyes. Under it, draw a wide smile shape like a bowl, then add a little square tooth hanging from the top lip.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.
