70 Fall Things to Draw (Easy and Cute Ideas)

The ideas run from quick doodles of acorns and single leaves to fuller pictures of woodland animals, wreaths and little autumn scenes. There’s a list of all of them by theme just after the pictures, so you can pick one in a hurry. You can even find inspiration for your next junk journal project in my Bee Junk Journal post.

Fall Drawing Ideas by Theme

Here are all the ideas from the pictures above, grouped so you can find the kind of thing you fancy drawing today.

• Pumpkins: a jack-o’-lantern in the leaves, one big round pumpkin, a pumpkin pile, a pumpkin patch group and a basket of autumn flowers. Want step-by-step help? Try my easy pumpkin drawing ideas.
• Leaves and trees: a single maple leaf, a maple leaf in pen, a leafy branch, an autumn tree with little birds and a row of fall trees. For bare branches to fill in yourself, there are free bare tree templates.
• Woodland animals: a squirrel, a fox, an owl, two robins, a badger, three hedgehogs, field mice, ladybugs and a beetle, and three fuzzy bumblebees.
• Acorns, mushrooms and berries: acorns with oak leaves (in color and in pencil), toadstool clusters, rose hips, crab apples and red berry branches.
• Cozy things: a hat and scarf, a bobble hat with pumpkins, a girl in a knitted hat, hot chocolate with whipped cream, a mug of cocoa with marshmallows, and rain boots.
• Wreaths: four autumn wreaths made from pumpkins, leaves and berries. They make a lovely frame for a journal page or a card.
• Little autumn scenes: a cottage with fall trees, a red postbox, a bicycle in the leaves, a watering can and wildflowers in pencil.
• Pets in the leaves: four puppies and two cats playing in falling leaves.

How to Draw Easy Fall Things (5 Tips)

You don’t need to be good at drawing for any of these. These are the things that help most:

1. Start with a simple shape. A pumpkin is a few overlapping ovals, an acorn is an egg with a cap on top, and a maple leaf is five points around a center line.
2. Sketch lightly in pencil first, then go over the lines you like with a fineliner and rub the pencil out.
3. Keep to a small autumn palette. Orange, a deep red, golden yellow and a warm brown are enough for almost every idea here.
4. Fill empty space with falling leaves. A few scattered leaves around a hedgehog or a mug makes the page feel finished.
5. Add a cozy detail. A scarf, steam from a mug or a few berries turns a plain drawing into an autumn one.

If you’d rather paint your autumn pictures, have a look at my fall watercolor ideas and these easy watercolor woodland animals. For colouring instead, there are free fall leaves coloring pages, and when November comes round, Thanksgiving doodles.
