Six steps, one pencil, about ten minutes. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your pumpkin to life.
Watch it first
Draw it step by step
New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.
Draw one tall oval in the middle of your paper. Wobbly is fine — wobbly ovals make plump pumpkins.
Curve one line out to the left and one out to the right. Start and finish them both on the oval.
Two short lines climb up from the top and curl over to the right. Keep the stem stubby, like a thick twig.
One long line waves off the stem to the right. Spiral the end of it round like a spring.
Draw one curved line inside each round side. Start and finish them where the sides do, so the pumpkin looks bumpy.
A short stalk off the stem, a pointy leaf on the end, and one line down its middle. Now this pumpkin is yours.
Now draw a pumpkin that's afraid of the dark.
Practice on paper
Faint lines to trace, all six mini steps, and an empty box to draw your own. One page, works in black and white.
The magic part
Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper pumpkin into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little vine curl below is a wink; the real clips go much further.
Make an Animated Movie from Your Drawings
Draw your pumpkin, ghost, or bat on paper, then turn it into a short animated film with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at your side.
