I had to do pumpkins, they aren't really Halloween so much, more just for fall I guess but I really like them anyways. These are very easy, taking only about twenty minutes for me to do.
If you would like to see the tutorial for this design keep reading.
I used It's Alive for the background, it seem perfect for pumpkins but you can use black, blue or anything else. Then I made random basic pumpkin shapes. They are almost like the top of a heart.
Once you have that add in some highlights with a light orange for the indentations on the pumpkin and add a brown stem at the top.
Now using the brown from them stem you want to outline a bit of the pumpkin and your first highlights. Then highlight the stem with a lighter brown.
Lastly, I put some green curly vines around the pumpkins.
Top coat and you are finished!

You could add faces to the pumpkins but I love them plain for this design. I love carving pumpkins for Halloween though, anyone else?
awesome! the highlighting and detailing makes them look so realistic. and that top coat makes the colors come to life! i really want to try this one day but i need to get a brown. the light orange you used to highlight what color is that? lol
ReplyDeleteThat's really pretty! I'll keep this design in mind when I'll finally try It's Alive :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, candice! The orange shades are red and yellow acrylic paint mixed together that I picked up locally here. I actually only have red, yellow, green, blue, silver, black and white acrylic and mix those to make the colors I need.
