How to Draw a Slice of Pumpkin Pie · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Sloping top edge
Draw a long, gently curved line that starts low on the left and rises up toward the right. Draw it lightly at first so it is easy to fix.
Step 2: The tall crust
Near the right end of the curve, draw a tall rounded rectangle standing straight up, with no bottom line yet. Give its top a little dip in the middle so it looks like a wavy crust.
Step 3: The bottom edge
Draw a straight line along the bottom, from the left end of the sloping line across to the bottom of the crust. Curl the right end up just a little.
Step 4: The plate
Draw a wide, flat oval under the pie, like a squashed circle. Start at the left and right ends of the bottom edge and curve the line down below the slice.
Step 5: Whipped cream puff
On the sloping top edge, draw a wide puffy bump that sits on the slice. Start on the slope, curve up and over, and end near the crust.
Step 6: Cream swirl
On top of the first puff, draw a smaller rounded bump like a little hill. Add a tiny curl where the cream meets the crust.
Step 7: The pointy tip
At the very top of the swirl, draw a small curved shape that comes to a point, like a flame or an upside-down drop.
Step 8: A happy face
Draw two small dots for eyes in the middle of the slice. Between them, a little lower down, draw a smile shaped like the letter U.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a slice of pumpkin pie
- Draw the sloping top edge first and keep it a smooth, gentle curve. Everything else sits on or beside it.
- Make the crust tall and a bit narrow, and let the little dip at the top be shallow so it looks like a soft wave.
- Draw the whipped cream as bumps stacked from big to small. Leave a little space between the bumps so each one stays easy to see.
