How to Draw a Jack-o-Lantern Pumpkin: Step-by-Step for Kids

The carved pumpkin Jack-o-Lantern is the ultimate Halloween symbol. Here is how to draw a perfectly spooky pumpkin face glowing in the dark!

What You'll Need

  • Pencil
  • Eraser
  • Paper
  • Orange, green, and black markers

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Draw the Pumpkin Body

Draw a large oval or slightly rounded square shape — the pumpkin body. It should be wider than it is tall, like a slightly squashed ball.

Step 2: Add the Pumpkin Ribs

Draw two or three curved vertical lines across the pumpkin body, dividing it into rounded sections — these are the pumpkin's natural ribs or lobes. Each section curves outward slightly from the centre.

Step 3: Draw the Stem

At the top centre of the pumpkin, draw a short, twisted stem — a curved rectangle or slightly bent cylinder shape. Add a curling vine tendril line extending from the stem.

Step 4: Draw the Triangle Eyes

In the upper portion of the pumpkin face, draw two triangle eye holes. Classic Jack-o-Lantern eyes are isosceles triangles with the point facing downward. Make them look angular and menacing.

Step 5: Add the Triangle Nose

In the centre between the eyes, draw a smaller triangle for the nose hole — often drawn as a simple upside-down V or small triangle pointing upward.

Step 6: Draw the Jagged Mouth

Below the nose, draw a wide, jagged smiling mouth. The classic Jack-o-Lantern mouth is a wide curve with rectangular teeth cut into the upper and lower edges — some teeth missing for a gap-toothed scary look.

Step 7: Add the Glowing Inner Light

Inside each carved opening (eyes, nose, mouth), shade them completely black. Then draw thin orange glow lines radiating outward from each opening to suggest a candle glowing inside.

Step 8: Add Background Details

Draw a dark background — a night sky with stars or a full moon. Add flying bats above the pumpkin. Draw a few fallen autumn leaves near the base.

Adding Colour

The pumpkin is deep orange. The stem is brown or dark green. The carved openings are solid black with orange glow outlines. The background sky is dark blue-black. The moon, if included, is yellow-white.

Tips from Parikshet

  • The jagged, uneven teeth are what make the pumpkin look scary rather than friendly — don't make the mouth too neat.
  • Triangle eyes point downward for angry/scary; upward-pointing triangles look more surprised or silly.
  • The orange glow effect around the openings — drawn with thin radiating lines — is the finishing touch that makes the pumpkin look like it is really lit from inside.
