Halloween/Fall Pumpkins Tutorial

 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?

  3. Thanks, 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.

    Thank you, Kayono! Yes, try it out. It is so much prettier in real life!
