Lol thanks it's just one pumpkin (one picture with light on, one with light off) and I did carve it. The whole thing took me about 2 hours because I freehanded them.

How do you do carvings like that?

There are templates online. Or you can just draw them onto the pumpkin.
I don't have anything to contribute to the thread, as my art attempts are indistinguishable from a baboon's.

Is that cut all the way through though?  Or just scraped so the light shines through? 

I must have always used a crud knife.  A small triangle was a lot of effort I remember.

@Bob I just start cutting and figure it out and I just use a steak knife.

@chopinlover don't worry about it, a baboon painting sold for $100,000 once...

So, there is distinguishable difference between my paintings and a baboon; the baboon can make a living.
