You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
We will start this tutorial on how to draw a scarecrow by drawing the scarecrow’s head.
The head part will be made from a pumpkin to really match the Halloween feel that scarecrows are usually associated with!
Before you draw this pumpkin head, you can start with the hat on the head first. This will be drawn with an oval vertex, two lines going down from there and then a circular rim.
Once you’ve finished drawing this hat, you can also add some lines to it to create a slash effect that makes it look like it’s made of straw.
Finally, you can draw the pumpkin head by drawing some curved lines from the hat down. A few simple lines for the eyes and a jagged line for the mouth would complete it beautifully!
Step 2
Now that you have finished drawing the scarecrow’s head, you can start drawing the scarecrow’s first arm.
The scarecrow will be wearing a coat, so the arms will be covered with that material. You can also use some curved lines to draw the rope around the sleeve of the jacket.
Finally, some straw and wood will stick out from the sleeve of the shirt as shown in the reference image. That’s all it takes for this step and you’re ready to go!
Step 3
You have successfully drawn the first arm in the previous step of the scarecrow tutorial and in this step you can draw the other arm.
This is not a challenge for you, as all you need to do is draw the mirror image of the arm you drew in the previous step. However, you can always change the details a bit if you want!
Step 4
We will lengthen the scarecrow’s clothes from the head down in this step. First, start by drawing the collar at the base of the neck.
Then use some curves for the edges of his jacket to hang down. Finally, draw a line running down the center of his shirt, then draw some small circles running down to make the buttons.
You can also add some little squares with lines at the edges for the patches on his shirt.
Step 5
This part of our tutorial on how to draw a scarecrow is about adding some details and final elements before the final step.
First, use some straight lines from the scarecrow for the pole he’s hanging from.
You can then add some crows to his arm to show that this might not be the most effective scarecrow ever!
That will wrap up the details of this tutorial, but before you continue, you should add any of your own that you like!
A great addition would be to create a background for your photo. You can paint something like a cornfield or maybe a creepy haunted house as the background to create an even more Halloween-inspired image.
Any background elements of the hat or additional details you can think of to bring your own ideas into this puppet drawing?
Step 6
Now that you’ve completed the puppet drawing, you can now bring it to life in this final step of the how to draw puppet tutorial!
In our reference image, we used some orange for the pumpkin, then finished with some blue and brown for the rest of the scarecrow.
