My first halloween pumpkin.
Hello community, today I want to show you how to carve a pumpkin for Halloween, Since I was little, Halloween has been one of my favorite seasons, although in my country it is not a tradition to celebrate it, I like everything that has to do with this theme and I had never thought of making one. pumpkin, I really thought it was complicated, but recently I wanted to make it for the first time to accompany it with one of my makeups and it seemed quite simple considering that you need a very sharp knife or a cutter preferably, I saw that you can also make pumpkins with balloons at home but I chose to use a real pumpkin and live the full experience, maybe I'll be encouraged to make some small ones with balloons to decorate my home.

I chose a pumpkin that is quite large, it was very heavy and that worried me because I thought that I would not be able to carve it well, however, I began to make a hole in the upper part and thus be able to remove all the filling, this hole took me a lot of effort with several knives and changing the shape of the circle several times to see if it came out at least a little haha, finally I managed to open it and the first part of the pumpkin came out.
With the help of a large spoon and my hands I took out the rest of the filling, I also wanted to reduce a little thickness so I scraped the edges of the pumpkin a lot, I think it took much longer emptying the pumpkin than cutting the rest, it was quite difficult.

After finally emptying the pumpkin, I moved to a more comfortable table and began to draw the face of my pumpkin, starting with the eyes, then the nose and mouth, I was very nervous about starting to cut and I thought that I could look bad, but with a lot of patience I started with one of the eyes using a small serrated knife and in turn alternating it with a large knife.

And that's when I realized that, despite the fact that I had carved a little inside, the pumpkin was still quite thick and some pumpkin hairs could be seen behind the eye, so I cleaned again this time using the knives.
So little by little I opened each part of her face, the most difficult was the mouth and nose, since the space to work was a little smaller, but we just need to continue with patience and a little precision.

After several minutes carving his mouth and fixing some edges of the nose and eyes I got the result I wanted, a cute scary pumpkin for Halloween, the best part was to test it later with a candle inside and put it in a dark place, it looked too beautiful , I am very in love with my pumpkin and proud to say that I finally made a pumpkin and it turned out well hahaha, the truth is that at first I did not have much faith since I am quite bad at cutting.
To keep the pumpkin for a few days without damaging it, I read online that it is advisable to clean it with lemon everywhere, I did this when I finished the pumpkin and so far it remains quite well, I really don't know how long it will last.
Además que quedo super bien como acompañante de este maquillaje artistico que realice el día de ayer, me diverti muchisimo y me hizo muy feliz, espero que les haya gustado el resultado y se animen a intentarlo.
Also, it looks great as a companion to this artistic makeup that I did yesterday, I had fun a lot and it made me very happy, I hope you liked the result and are encouraged to try it.
