Nice! You're winning so far

Are the pumpkin carving patterns allowed? Because that seems like cheating to me. If you aren't able to buy a pumpkin carving pattern then you would be a disadvantage because other people would.

It seems to me that anyone with a computer and a printer (or a pencil and a piece of paper -- or, heck, even just a pencil) would have the same "cheat" available to them. If you want to do the photorealistic thing, just posterize an image and trace that onto the pumpkin (using transfer/carbon paper or pouncing through pinholes in the picture).

If you've got a printer and Google, you've got pumpkin patterns

If you don't have a printer, it'll be a bit trickier but it -is- still possible to hand-sketch one based off an image you've seen, just as Essellar pointed out.

I always use templates, I am a bad artist :-(

Ditto. Except I don't think I can get away with winning :/

 

[Dead-i]

Lol I probably won't win either, but I'll submit some anyway. :biggrin:

Would pumpkins that Weren't made with a stencil of some sort get a higher chance of winning since they would be harder to make?

I guess it'd depend on whether it is actually good XD

Hello callumacrae

Coming from Ireland my granddaughter wants me to ask you; does using a turnip break the rules ?

Good luck in your Competition.

Love
Liz.

@callum: Maybe he meant that he was having a look at the competition. However, it still isn't a good contribution to the topic.

Hello callumacrae

My granddaughter managed to pick one of the smallest turnip in the shop for me to carve, but heres some pictures of my starting design.

I uploaded the file below to my free web account as I'm going to use it on my next page of my website.

Full jpeg image plus signature will be added to this thread once project is finished.

Love
Liz
