Painted Chica FNAF No-Carve Yellow Chicken Pumpkin

From pumpkin to porch

1. 1

   Clean and dry the pumpkin

   Wipe the rind with a lightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry fully. Smooth-skinned pumpkins give the cleanest edges on the circular eye shapes. Avoid any soap residue, which can prevent acrylic adhesion.

2. 2

   Sketch the Chica face layout

   Use a soft pencil to lightly map the yellow head boundary, orange beak position, white eye circle positions, and bib outline below the beak. Chica's beak is broad and flat, so keep it wide in the sketch. Hold the pumpkin at arm's length to check proportions before painting.

3. 3

   Paint the yellow base coat

   Fill the entire head and neck area with flat yellow acrylic in two thin coats, letting each dry to the touch before the next. Leave a narrow strip of natural orange rind around the outer head edge. Yellow over orange requires at least two coats for coverage; a thin white primer coat first can help if the orange bleeds through.

4. 4

   Block in the orange beak

   Paint the beak area in flat orange over the dry yellow base. The orange beak over yellow base will need two coats for clean coverage since the colors are close in value. Keep the beak edges clean by following your pencil sketch. The beak should be broad and flat rather than narrow and pointed.

5. 5

   Paint the eyes, irises, and bib

   Apply white circles for the eyes in two coats over the dry yellow base. Once the white is dry, add magenta iris circles in each eye. Paint the spotted white bib below the beak area using a flat brush, then add small magenta or dark spots to the bib with a fine detail brush. Let each element dry before adding the next.

6. 6

   Seal and display

   Apply a light matte acrylic sealer spray from twelve inches once all paint is completely dry. Cure for two hours before outdoor display. The bold yellow and orange palette means this pumpkin reads well even in daylight without any interior lighting.
