Here is a fun and fancy twist on how to draw a pumpkin... with stripes and polka dots! Draw your pumpkin by making a circle or oval shape, then draw the 'ribs' with overlapping vertical ovals. Draw the stem and outline your pumpkin with a sharpie marker. Erase the pencil lines and fill in your pumpkin 'ribs' with an alternating pattern of stripes and spots. Use a fine tip pen or sharpie to outline the details, and erase again. Color your pumpkin green, orange, and purple. Another fun color scheme would be brown or black with orange or pink. Happy Drawing!
