Fearless Friday, Spooky Pumpkin
Today let’s draw a Spooky Pumpkin
This is very simple, all you need is a pencil, a few black liner pens
and a yellow and orange marker or colored pencils
For the black, I used a fine nib .05 black liner pen,
a .08 medium nib liner pen, and a large brushliner pen

Begin with a pencil sketch of the pumpkin


Add the face

Erase the lines through the eyes and mouth

Add a candle and lines to the eyes and mouth
so they become 3 dimensional

I went over the sketch with the .05 liner pen
and erased the pencil

Then I used the brush pen to add wider lines to the pumpkin groves

Next I used the .08 liner pen to add the shading



Now a little color

All done!
“Spooky Pumpkin” 5″ x 7″ pen, ink and marker on mixed media paper

Have some Spooky fun and
Be Fearless!

Thank you Mary 🎃
I always enjoy looking at your tutorials, but I think I will give this one a try! Looks do-able for me. I love the arts but have little talent for drawing.. Thanks for the easy step by step tutorial.
Thank you Judee, Happy Drawing!

Perfect jack-o-lantern Jenna! Another work of art….Happy Halloween.
Thank you Kari 🎃
I always enjoy your art tutorials, and admire your skill. I had to laugh when you said “begin with a pencil sketch of a pumpkin,” the assumption being that I could actually make a pencil sketch of a pumpkin. Honestly, I actually got private lessons from Danny Gregory, and found it was impossible for me to draw something as simple as a mug. There are some of us who are just artistically challenged.
Thank you Pattie, you just have to practice practice practice…give it a try!
This is so cute! Thank you for the step by step tutorial. I’ve been trying to do a family craft night with my teens and husband 🙂 This looks like a great project for next week! 🎃
