For me personally I hand draw and mark with a super sharp knife.
Then both needed scraped out so the pumpkin was very thin to get the correct effect.

I had to be careful with Spider-Man's eyes as I got the hole effect with a skewer but still
wanted a layer behind so it looked like mesh.

You can get templates to follow online for most designs :-)

Templates are my friend and I am very much a beginner. All of these are absolutely fantastic! Love seeing all the different designs and creativity from people.

Oh my! We got a plastic type one you carve. I think it might be polystyrene. It was super easy for my wife to do ( I am disabled before you think I am lazy lol ) and we stuck a timer candle in it so it comes on at 5 pm with the other timer candles from Costco.

Reusable.. Cheating I know but it looks real!

That would be very annoying ... only plan on doing one pumpkin so hopefully it will survive that... I've had them before but just bin them cos I'd put it in that safe place everyone has at home where stuff mysteriously vanishes
