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
)

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.
So! There’s an inferred door on the other side of the pumpkin.
Or maybe the leaf lid comes off and you hop out and in ![]()

Love this. It reminds me a little of Kincaid’s work, the painter of light.
Thanks!
Your comment is a good reminder to study his art! Beautiful inspirations for sure.
And I thought: Wow, a house for Pumpkin’s …

Nicely done. I like it. I agree with Sooz, the light through the window is excellently portrayed. It gives depth to the interior.
That’s awesome! What a disappointment! ![]()
Thanks so much!
Yeah, I was surprised at the difference that inner light made. (Turned out better than I expected.
)
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!
Thanks for the kind comments @ZGartz96! So glad you enjoyed it. ![]()
