Cozy Autumn
In September 2024, the Funky Pumpkin Challenge took place, where the goal was to create 3 illustrations based on the following themes: Pumpkin Birthday Party, Pumpkin Carving Day, and Halloween Pumpkin Night.
While I was thinking about what to draw, I had an idea: the 3 illustrations would be part of a story about the pumpkin boy. So in the first illustration, he would be celebrating his birthday with his mother and friends; in the second illustration it would be the night the pumpkin boy and his mother would raise his sister; and the third illustration would be Halloween Day, where they would all be gathered around the campfire eating marshmallows and drinking hot chocolate while his mother read scary stories.
Illustration Process
I started the illustrations with sketches. First I just sketched an idea, and then I refined it. The first lineart I finished was the illustration where everyone is around the campfire. That way, I was able to define what each character would look like. Then I used that as a basis for the birthday scene.
Time to paint! I wanted to use purple in the illustrations, so I used other colors that go well with purple to create a harmony of colors.
