Getting Started with Stencils:
Start simple with cartoon characters. For today’s practice, I'm using a Rick and Morty design. Learn how to transfer your design onto the pumpkin and carve with precision.
Advanced Carving Tips:
Understand 3D visualization and light sources. Today’s main lesson is to imagine your carved design as a 3D object and add depth using the Rembrandt lighting technique.
