My Finished Product

My Finished Product

I could have carved everything a bit deeper to make it light up better, but I’m pretty happy with this for a first-ever pumpkin carving!

Get Your Shave One

Slicing out and digging into the face to make it deeper (and thus brighter)

I would hold it up under a light above my stove to get a preview of how the light was working. This was originally where I was going to stop.

I was originally going to carve outlines only, but then realized I needed to shave the skin off to get things to light up properly, so had to keep going.

I decided to carve the guy from Pan’s Labyrinth who has his eyes in his hands. I drew something out first, then taped it to the pumpkin and went over the important lines poking a blade into the pumpkin so that I had something resembling a perforated line where I needed to carve things.
