How to Draw A Scarecrow Step by Step

Step by Step Guide

I never learned how to draw a scarecrow. To me, it just occurred naturally. But that does not mean that I did not have to practice. In fact, I practiced a lot before I could eventually be satisfied with the overall design. And I think if anyone is looking to learn how to draw scarecrows, they will feel comfortable with the procedure I follow to draw them.

I start from the top and make my way down. I keep the design and details simple with minor depth. For coloring, I use dark colors with a few shades of lighter ones.

Start with the head

Draw a pumpkin.

Do the hat

The hat is sort of like a clown hat and pointy at the top.

Carve the face

Draw the eyes and mouth on the head.

Now the body

It is basically a simple shirt.

Draw the hands

The hands are drawn small.

Now the stand

It is a long stick through the middle of the scarecrow.

Do the base

It is two simple curves made to resemble a stone.

Draw the hay

The hay is drawn around the shirt.

Almost done.

Keep going. You are almost there.

Final touches

Use a dark pencil to do the finishing touches.

Time to color

The scarecrow drawing is ready. Now you just have to color.
