Draw an Animated Glowing Jack-o'-Lantern

  • Course
  • 7 Lessons

Let's carve a pumpkin (without getting our hands covered in pumpkin guts!) I'll teach you how to draw and animate a glowing jack-o'-lantern flickering beneath a starry sky. Practice many digital art skills like working with layers, masks, blend modes, warp and distort transformations, animation, and more. You can make a jack-o'-lantern like mine, or carve your pumpkin with whatever design you want!
