ORIGINAL DRAWING LESSON

Pumpkin

Let's learn how to draw a pumpkin, the symbol of autumn and Halloween. It all starts with creating a rounded shape, which will be the base for our pumpkin. Then, we add the characteristic vertical grooves that give it volume and make it recognizable. After that, we focus on the details: we draw the stem on top and, perhaps, add a couple of curved lines to give it a playful or mysterious look.
