Expert Pumpkin Stencils

Expert pumpkin stencils are sculpting patterns. Rather than a picture cut through a wall, they map three or more depths into the flesh: full openings for highlights, deep scrapes for midtones, shallow scrapes for shadows, and untouched skin for the darkest areas. Carved well, the pumpkin becomes a lit relief portrait with real tonal range.
