How to carve a Pumpkin like a pro [Beginners Pumpkin carving tutorial]

In this beginners Pumpkin carving tutorial, I will show you how to carve a pumpkin like a pro. I'll go through how to make a stencil from any picture, the tools I use, and some of the basic principles of "Pumpkin shading" a style of Pumpkin carving that involves shaving the Pumpkin to different depths to make a design. I use the same stencil method regardless if I've drawn the image myself or working from a picture - for this tutorial I wanted to show something anyone can replicate, so I've selected a fairly easy image to work from. In other tutorials, I will be breaking down more complicated images and carving techniques, along with showing how to draw your own designs and adapting them so they can easily be carved on a Pumpkin. I hope you find this beginners Pumpkin carving tutorial useful, and feel free to ask any questions or put any design requests in the comments...viva la Pumpkin!
