Steps
Draw a wide oval in the middle of the page for the pumpkin body. Keep the lines light so you can adjust the shape later.
Add a short curved stem on top, then draw two or three curved lines from the stem down the sides to suggest the pumpkin's ridges.
Sketch two angled, slanted eyes near the top of the oval. Make them narrow and tilted inward for an angry, evil look.
Draw a small triangle nose below and between the eyes. Keep it simple and centered.
Outline a wide, jagged mouth across the lower half. Add sharp pointed teeth on the top and bottom edges.
Add small curved lines around the eyes and mouth to give the face a wrinkled, carved look.
Erase the light guide lines you no longer need, then darken the final outlines with your pencil.
Shade the ridges and the inside of the eyes and mouth with short pencil strokes to add depth.
Go over the main outlines with a black pen or marker if you want a bold cartoon finish, then erase any leftover pencil marks.
Tips and common mistakes
Draw the body and face lightly first so you can fix the shape before darkening lines.
Tilt the eyes inward and keep the teeth sharp to make the pumpkin look evil rather than friendly.
Shade the ridges with the side of the pencil for a smoother, rounder look.
Questions
Do I need special drawing paper?
No. Plain printer paper works fine for a pencil sketch. Heavier sketch paper holds up better if you plan to shade a lot.
How do I make the pumpkin look scarier?
Slant the eyes more, add sharper teeth and keep the mouth wide. Extra wrinkle lines around the eyes also help.
Can I color it in afterward?
Yes. Colored pencils or markers work well. Use orange for the body and dark brown or black for the shadowed ridges.
