Build up a firm foundation for one of three distinct gourd and pumpkin shapes: A squat, mini-pumpkin, a tall gourd, and a round squash on which to needle felt fine details. Learn why eyes are the most important for guiding an expression, and how different eye and pupil positions tell different stories. Needle a variety of noses to fit both the gourd shape and the overall expression. Add a wide grin, a pouting lip, and a devious smirk to round out these extreme facial expressions. Then and add more details to enhance the eyes with shading and bloodshot details.
