Variations of this Easy Pumpkin Drawing for Kids
Okay I know you love the look of my easy to draw pumpkin but you might be wondering how you could make it different!
-Do not draw the individual rinds and leave the pumpkin orange. You can encourage little children to draw a smiley or scary face using a black marker! This would then become a Jack O Lantern!
Alternatively you could draw several pumpkins and make some smaller than the rest, i.e mini pumpkins. You could also draw some giant pumpkins; they do exist!
Why not experiment with colors; we do get bluish pumpkins and green ones also. You might want to draw a Queensland blue pumpkin or a Jarrahdale as opposed to a traditional orange one!

Fall is a time for pumpkins! Find out how to draw a pumpkin easily with my easy drawing instructions complete with pictures. To draw this easy pumpkin, first you need to draw 4 (four) curved lines on the paper. Draw the two lines on the ends slightly smaller than the two lines in the middle. The two curvy lines should be symmetrical, and the two curvy lines on the ends should be symmetrical to each other. Now draw similar four curvy lines under the previous curvy lines. Keep at least two inches gap in between them. Your pumpkin should look as below. Now, join the middle part of the first lines with the middle part of the second lines. Similarly draw a line from the top second left point to the bottom second left point as below. Repeat this on the right side. Now, draw a curvy line from top to bottom joining the two ends.
