Signing UpStep 1Step 1: Draw your pattern
In this case, I chose an interesting image of Spiderman. It is important to pick an image that has enough contrast to allow for good light/shadow interplay. For Spiderman, the webbing provides a challenge but makes for an amazing visual presence.
Once the pattern is drawn, you then have to chose whatb will stay and what will go. To get detailed pumpkins like this one you have to utilize different carving depths. I usually use a 4 depth system:
1 Pumpkin that will be left in completely, skin and all (Black)
2 Just the skin removed (Grey)
3 Skin plus some flesh removed Light grey (White)
4 All skin and flesh removed (yellow)
In the uploaded picture you can sort of make out my legend. The only backward thing is in the final pattern... the webbing is grey and his suit is white... it should be the other way around but for ease of drawing the pattern, i switched it.
