Pumpkin House

Like my Pumpkinman and Pumpkin family, I drew this for a digital pumpkin carving contest that Paintable hosted. This one was in October 2024. My idea here was to have a quaint little pumpkin house.

My WIPS for this include a couple pages of sketches where I was trying to figure out the overall angle and then the type of window/opening. (Please forgive the dark smudges in my sketchpad -courtesy of the terrible eraser I was using at the time :laughing: )

Technically, I realized afterwards that in my final version… unless one’s meant to climb in through the window… it might be hard to get inside. :grin: So! There’s an inferred door on the other side of the pumpkin. :wink: Or maybe the leaf lid comes off and you hop out and in :thinking::upside_down_face:

Love this. It reminds me a little of Kincaid’s work, the painter of light.

Nicely done. I like it. I agree with Sooz, the light through the window is excellently portrayed. It gives depth to the interior.

Thanks so much! :heart: Yeah, I was surprised at the difference that inner light made. (Turned out better than I expected. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: )

Wow! Is incredible!

I like this pumpkin, it makes me want to live there <3

The color palette is very pleasant and the soft texture of the coloring conveys tranquility and visual rest.

Great job!
