Draw a half circle. Start by drawing a half circle for the pumpkin slice.
Inside the previous half circle draw a smaller one to set the thickness of the skin.
Add some small droplet shapes for the seeds.
Create the stem of the pumpkin by drawing a short cylinder.
Outline a full pumpkin’s front who is partially overlapped by the slice.
Complete the pumpkin’s outline.
Draw the ridges of the pumpkin by drawing a series of curved lines that start at the top of the pumpkin and curve downwards towards the bottom.
Make sure these lines be spaced evenly apart and should follow the contours of the circle.
Color your pumpkin with shades of orange for the body and green for the stem.
