Directions
- Take your pencil and lightly draw your chosen doodle patterns directly onto the surface of the foam pumpkin. Begin in a single area and expand outward, filling the empty spaces with small shapes like stars, dots, spiders, leaves, and swirls to create a dense, textured look.
- After the entire pumpkin is covered in your pencil sketch, carefully trace over those lines using black puff paint. To prevent smearing, work on one panel at a time. Let each painted section dry for approximately sixty minutes before starting the next, or use a blow dryer to speed up the drying time.
