This is a PDF Document with 30 pages with over 80 photos.

In this beautifully illustrated PDF tutorial, I will guide you step by step through building, shaping, sculpting and painting these whimsical pumpkin characters. You will learn how to create their rounded pumpkin forms, expressive faces, dimensional features, stems and curly vines—then add layers of colour that give each little pumpkin its own vintage personality.

No two Pumpkin Heads will ever look exactly alike. Give yours a sweet smile, a crooked grin or a wonderfully silly expression!
