Lopsided Mean Pumpkin With Two Chunky Teeth

From pumpkin to porch

1. 1

   Hollow the pumpkin

   Cut the lid from the back and scoop all pulp until the inner wall is about 2.5 cm thick. Dry the face surface with a paper towel before marking.

2. 2

   Mark the eyes

   Draw two triangular eye holes, deliberately making one significantly larger than the other. The size difference is what sells the mean asymmetric look, so resist the urge to even them out. Angle both inner corners slightly downward.

3. 3

   Mark the lopsided mouth

   Draw a smile that rises higher on the same side as the larger eye, creating a lopsided smirk. Sketch two chunky upper teeth along the top lip edge, rooting each one across its full base width.

4. 4

   Cut the larger eye first

   Starting with the larger triangle keeps the face stable while you refine the smaller eye. Use a pumpkin saw in short controlled strokes and pop the piece free from inside.

5. 5

   Cut smaller eye and mouth

   Cut the smaller triangle eye, then move to the mouth. Cut the outer smile line first, then remove the negative space between the two chunky teeth. Leave both teeth rooted at their full top width.

6. 6

   Light and position

   Place an LED tea light inside and position the pumpkin low on a step so the uneven eyes look up at approaching visitors. The asymmetry reads best when viewed slightly from above.
