    Hi I'm planning on doing some carving this week so hopefully will have some pics soon.

    I've started carving. I decided to have a go at Pumpkinhead too.  So here are a few work in progress shots from tonight.  I'm carving it over two evenings so should finish tomorrow. So far I'm about 75% happy with what I've done. My basic shapes and forms could be a lot better and I'm going to have to carve all the top teeth separately as I got carried away scooping out the mouth, doh! Also he's looking more jolly than evil at the moment! Any advice/criticism much appreciated :)

    Night two of carving: luckily the weather here is cold and wet so my pumpkin was fine after it's night in a plastic bag wrapped in wet paper towels. Added a chin and detail tonight but still have a way to go. The chin and some adjustments to the mouth have made him look a buy more evil hopefully? I think I'm a bit more optimistic of it being a success than I was last night. Hopefully will finish tomorrow night. I think I've been lucky in the pumpkin I chose, it's a thick one. Looking now at my carving I think i've been a bit heavy handed with some of the wrinkles.n ere are some pics

    I finished my pumpkin! I would say I'm 90% happy with how it turned out. I definately learned loads carving this pumpkin and watching and listening to Andy. I made several mistakes but think I managed to bounce back from them.  I'll be carving at least one more pumpkin next week.

    Here's my 2nd pumpkin. I think my carving has improved a little but I was a bit disappointed in the expression I achieved, I would try to raise his cheek under the closed eye if I do a similar face again. I've entered my pumpkins into a local contest on Twitter so I'll let you know how I get on :)

    Wow, there are some really nice pieces here!  I totally destroyed one pumpkin due to internal anomalies and trying to get the hang of things. 
    I really wish I could have watched Andy do one eyeball with an iris and highlight just to see his technique. 
    My way technique involved a lot of praying and holding of breath. :)


    My interpretation of the Didact from the Halo 4 universe...


     

    I really enjoyed the class and especially appreciated the camera angles that allowed us to see how Andy uses his tools.
    Thank you to Andy Bergholtz and the production crew.

    Hey J Lee, great pumpkins, i really like the sandwich one, cool idea.

    Hi Carolyn, thanks for you kind words.  The pumpkin burger was a lot of fun but caught me off guard with how much time it took. (a day and a morning.)
    I still need to figure out a better way to do lettuce. :)
