Description This is my pumpkin for 2014, the legendary Hatbox Ghost from Disneyland's Haunted Mansion.

I started doing the 3D carving back in 05 after sent me a link to a true pumpkin artist: villafanestudios.com
That guy is awesome!

Have a hauntingly happy Halloween!

Pick up a set of the metal loop sculpting tools. I got some cheap ones from Michaels last year and they worked great. A big loop peels a pumpkin nicely and smaller ones are great for wrinkles and detail.

Damn, I was hoping I could improvise. Guess it's a trip to Michaels for me tomorrow!

Well, you could use just a regular knife, but it's a lot more work and didn't give me as good of results.

So I went and got some sculpting tools. Really glad I did! Those loops are definitely time-savers. X-acto knives also helped a great deal.

Here's my attempt: m-everham.deviantart.com/art/2…
