Learn How to Draw A Jack O’Lantern – Halloween Quickly & Easily!

This angry-looking pumpkin will be greatly appreciated at any Halloween party. So, let’s try and learn how to draw a Jack O’Lantern to impress our friends. If you’ve been keeping up with our manuals, then you already know that preparation is the key to a successful drawing. Therefore, place your paper right and put all the individual parts exactly where I did.

The rough sketch will be your guide and help you keep the sizes and the balance right (00 min 39 sec). The most important part is that huge circle-slash-oval shape that will be the body of our pumpkin. Once that’s done, draw a vertical line in the middle (00 min 48 sec). The rest is just a number of curvy lines and a straight horizontal one. This is the easiest step in this how to draw a Jack O’Lantern tutorial.

Next, use regular strokes to put the nose in (01 min 36 sec). It’s just a triangle in the middle of the huge oval shape. The eyes are identical and you can just copy-paste the nose if you’re working on a computer. The mouth, on the other hand, looks like a blade turned upside down (01 min 58 sec). Take your time with it and make sure it’s perfect.

And remember that all the facial features are carved out on the pumpkin, which means you should try to depict that in this composition. If you’re happy with your work, move on to the body (02 min 26 sec). There’s nothing to it: just go over the rough sketch with regular strokes – that’s it! Next, finish the top and give the facial features some 3D features (03 min 07 sec).

The final stage of this wonderful how to draw a Jack O’Lantern tutorial includes using a marker and getting rid of the light strokes we did in the beginning (03 min 40 sec). And, you can go ahead and color the pumpkin using some conservative tones like I did.

Some Things To Keep In Mind…

These tutorials are only here to guide you. Your drawing does not need to look "identical" to mine.

Start with rough but light pencil strokes that you can work into the shapes you want.

Once you have your rough drawing completed, go over it in a darker stroke for your final drawing.

Add shading and/or color to complete if desired.

Using this technique you will be able to draw anything after some practice... even without following step-by-step tutorials.
