Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 2 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: The lollipop circle
Draw a big round circle near the top right of your page. Try a light sketch first, then trace over it with a smooth line.
Step 3: Swirl and stick
Inside the circle, start in the middle and draw a spiral that curls outward, like a snail shell. Then draw a short straight line going down from the bottom of the circle for the stick.
Step 4: The candy oval
On the left, draw a wide oval for the wrapped candy. Keep it smaller than the lollipop circle.
Step 5: Wrapper ends
Draw a narrow triangle on each side of the oval, like a bow tie, with the points touching the oval. Then add a curved line inside the oval, near its left side.
Step 6: The candy corn
Below the lollipop, draw a triangle with a rounded tip on top and rounded corners at the bottom. Keep the bottom line flat.
Step 7: Candy corn stripes
Draw two gently curved lines across the triangle, one in the upper middle and one lower down. Each one goes from one side to the other.
Step 8: The chocolate square
On the bottom right, next to the candy corn, draw a square with rounded corners. Tilt it just a little, like it was tossed into a trick-or-treat bag.
Step 9: Chocolate grid
Inside the square, draw two lines going up and down and two lines going across. This makes a grid of nine little pieces.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing Halloween candy
- Draw the lollipop swirl from the center out. Starting in the middle makes it easier to keep the lines evenly spaced.
- For the wrapped candy, make both bow ends point at the oval, and try to keep them about the same size.
- Draw the chocolate grid lines after the square. If your lines wobble, go slowly and keep them roughly parallel.

Questions about drawing Halloween candy
What shapes do I need to draw Halloween candy?
You need a circle for the lollipop, an oval with two small triangles for the wrapped candy, a triangle for the candy corn, and a rounded square for the chocolate. A few curved and straight lines finish the details.
How do I make my lollipop swirl look neat?
Start at the center and spiral outward slowly. Stop the spiral before it touches the edge of the circle, so there is a small gap.

Color each treat in bright Halloween colors. You can also add patterns like dots or stripes to the wrapped candy.
