Decorated Halloween Pumpkins

Halloween Pumpkins

If carving a pumpkin for Halloween fills you with dread then you might like this idea. When visiting the folks my mom presented me with five pumpkins "Do something with them" my mom instructed. So I got thinking about all the mess, skill and time required to carve five pumpkins with my minimal expertise in pumpkin carving and my thoughts moved to drawing. I'm not a great at drawing as I'm sure my art teacher would be able to testify so I managed to find some pumpkin carving templates online and then reversed them so I would be filling in the templates rather than cutting them out. I initially used a pencil to outline the shape, then outlined with a black permanent marker before colouring in the rest of the shape. As you can see the results are rather effective and I must say I am pretty pleased with them.
