Learn how to draw Pumpkin Pie with this easy step by step tutorial. A cut out slice lets you see all of its yummy colors!

A drawing of Pumpkin Pie, made with the help of an easy step by step tutorial.

This tutorial will show students how to draw pumpkin pie, make it look dimensional, and then add a pretty dollop of whipped cream on top. The side view reveals a peek at the inside filling, and is an easy way to make the pie look a little more dimensional too.

This drawing sample uses a different crayon to show the side shadows, but students could always use one crayon to make changes in the color value too. If students just use more pressure with their pie color crayon on the side, and a little lighter on the top, it will create its own shadow kind of look. It's also a great example of using Value, which is one of the Elements of Art.

There aren't many foods more symbolic of Thanksgiving than pumpkin pie, aside from the turkey of course. The built in fall colors make it one of the prettiest endings to a special holiday meal.

Materials for a Pumpkin Pie Drawing

  • Pencil. The Ticonderoga brand are the most reliable, make nice dark lines when you need them, and are the easiest to erase. Buying the pre-sharpened ones will save busy teachers a lot of time.
  • Eraser. Large ones you can hold in your hand do a much better job than just the pencil tip erasers, especially when erasing leftover pencil lines after tracing.
  • Black Sharpie Marker. These fine point permanent marker pens make nice black outlines, have a good tip for coloring, and never bleed when they get wet. Use them with good ventilation and add extra paper underneath to protect your tables.
  • Prang Crayons. These are a bit softer than other crayons so they sometimes look like oil pastels. They also have a some nice brown shades that Crayola does not have unless you buy their larger boxes.
  • Crayola Crayons. The reliable brand that always works well. The 24 pack has some of my favorite golden orange and yellow colors that seem a bit richer and warmer than the ones Prang has.
