Before you begin, study different shapes, sizes and types of pumpkins
When lines bend in a shape to conform to the outside, it is called
This happens in many objects.
These videos will help you better understand cross contour line.
That may seem complicated...
WE will start SIMPLE, with PUMPKINS
The top and bottom of the pumpkin is where the lines start and stop.
This is the top stem and blossom bottom end.
Didn't know pumpkins had a blossom...

PUMPKIN PRACTICE
Practice drawing 4 different size and shape pumpkins.
Pay special attention to how the lines on the pumpkin change as they go from
the left and right side of the pumpkin. Use contour line on your pumpkin practice to make them appear like forms, or 3D objects.
After you practice, experiment with 4 different arrangements.
For a challenge, change the angle or perspective of the pumpkin.
Use overlapping for a more interesting composition.
Once you have
You may now begin on your final piece.

Outline with a Black Permanent Marker when it looks right.
Next, you can use a pencil, grey colored pencil, grey crayon or a grey marker (for advanced shaders)
to shade the pumpkins. Maker sure you are using a consistent light source.
See video for shading help...

Next you will need NON Washable Crayola Crayons.
Get some Warm colors.
You'll want 4 or more.
Use the warm colors on the top of the picture on the
BACKGROUND ONLY.
(reds, oranges, yellows, pinks, peaches)
Intentionally leave some paper showing.
You can scribble color the colors in the background if you want.
(see below)

Finish off the 2nd half of the background with cool colors.
(Blues, Greens, and Purples)
Next, we will use watered down black paint to fill in the background
behind the pumpkins where the crayon did not go.
If you do not have black paint at home, you can use a black washable (not permanent) marker as well.
You can get a cup of water about 1/2 inch deep. Put the black marker in the water with the cap off. Let the uncapped end sit in the water for a bit. Use the water and a paintbrush to go in the background.
The crayon will push away the paint, letting it just go around it, not on top of it.
This is called a Crayon Resist.
Because the crayon is made of wax which is water repellent.
ONce you are done with the black paint, you are done with the project.
