Sunday Sketches - Prize Pumpkin


October seems to have come upon us so quickly!  It will be Christmas before you know it.

I did a 'prize pumpkin' for you today in watercolour pencil (6" x 6"). I started off on good quality textured orange cardstock, thinking 'orange' for pumpkins, although there is not a lot of that orange card showing up!  Happy Sunday Sketches from England!

The man behind the pumpkin was added to give a sense of scale, but he looks a bit spooky doesn't he?

I cannot comment on some Google+ blogs as I have not converted.  But I will visit your blog and leave a reply on mine. Some Google+ blogs are set up to allow me to comment.

  3. so nice. It put me right in the mood for Halloween. And, I didn't think the guy spooky at all, just maybe scared that pumpkin was going to roll over and squash him.

  7. This is such a great sketch! I love the size of the pumpkin and the man behind it looks perfect! His face shows blank astonishment with regard to the size of the pumpkin. The texture of your cardstock makes a wonderful effect!

  13. now, that´s a big one. The pumkin that is :) But I think I have seen this size in images. What I wonder is if they are edible?

  14. Yes, that's the choice of the blogger to only allow G+ to comment. It's too bad that they select that.

    He looks happy to me, the guy. Love the pumpkin.
