Steps
Draw a wide oval for the pumpkin body, flattened a little at the top and bottom. Keep your pencil light so you can erase these lines later.
Add the ribs. Draw curved lines from the top centre down to the bottom centre, about four on each side, following the curve of the oval.
Draw a short, thick stem on top of the pumpkin, tilted slightly to one side.
Sketch the Spider-Man eyes on the upper half. Make two large almond shapes with pointed inner corners, angled inward toward each other.
Add the web. Draw lines spreading out from the point between the eyes, then join them with curved arcs that follow the pumpkin's roundness.
Draw the headphones. Sketch a padded band arching over the top behind the stem, with an ear cup on each side of the pumpkin.
Detail the ear cups with a smaller inner circle and a couple of small buttons or screws.
Erase the construction lines, then go over the final outline with firmer pressure so the drawing reads clearly.
Shade in layers. Build darker tone in the rib creases, at the sides and under the headphones, and leave one side lighter as a highlight.
Blend the shading with a stump or tissue, then add a soft cast shadow under the pumpkin so it sits on the page.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep the eyes the same size by checking the gap between them against one eye's width before you commit to the outline.
Sharpen your pencil for the web lines, since thin, even strokes look far cleaner than thick ones.
Blend in the direction the pumpkin curves, not in circles, or the shading will look flat and muddy.
Shade in several light layers instead of pressing hard once, so you can still erase mistakes.
Questions
Do I need special pencils?
No. A single HB pencil works, but a 2B and a 4B make the dark shading much easier to build.
How do I keep the pumpkin from looking lopsided?
Sketch the oval lightly and check it before adding ribs. Symmetry is easier to fix at the oval stage than after the details are in.
Can I colour it instead of shading?
Yes. Finish the outline and erase the construction lines, then colour with markers or coloured pencils and add shading only in the creases.
