Step 10Shaving and Shading
Here comes the tricky part, but this is also the part that get's the most "Wow" out of people.
There are 2 ways to trim out the grey regions. If the grey is along the border of what you have already cut out, you are in luck. Just make a shallow cut along the traced line, and then stick the knife in perpendicular to that cut through the hole. You can quickly remove large strips in this manner For larger areas of grey (such as my neck section.) you will need to slowly take the top layer off bit by bit. Make shallow cuts into the surface, and then at an angle, stick the knife into the pumpkin connecting with the first cut.. Don't worry too much about it being smooth just yet, just try to get all of the grey area off.
