Description Oil pastels for the background, soft pastels for everything else
I love almost everything about pumpkins - their shape, their colours, the cheerful mood they instantly create - but not their taste! Pumpkins taste awful (and pumpkin juice too!) XD
I used a really great online tutorial I found on instagram by @sheshina_ekaterina, the artist has so many tutorials for soft pastel lovers, it's truly an awesome page

Pumpkins are indeed a cute and colorful sort of vegetable. And yep, it's getting that time of year for them!

I... don't think I've ever tried pumpkin juice. I admit it doesn't sound too yummy. I like pumpkin pie okay, but probably not freshly-squeezed pumpkin juice!

I am so glad that you like them! Their colours are really pretty, so sunny and bright
I wanted to try pumpkin juice because of the Harry Potter books and movies, they always drank it there. So I expected it to be really tasty, but it just didn't happen   I have never tried pumpkin pie, only baked pumpkin and pumpkin puree. Both were nt so nice  But pumpkin pie sounds really nice! I imagine it being gold-orange, like a fresh pumpkin

Yes, pumpkin pie is usually a nice, brownish-goldish orange color. People usually eat it a lot in November, since it's a traditional dish for our holiday of Thanksgiving. I can send you a recipe for it in a note if you'd like to try it!

Aww, thank you so much! I will be happy to get a recipe!   I have seen a lot of pumpkins in a local store, some were even already cut into slices. It will be fun to try to bake a pumpkin pie

You're welcome! I just now sent it. (Do they sell pumpkin [pre-mashed and pre-cooked] in cans at your local store? That's what this recipe was designed for, though I'm sure you can just cut up and cook and mash the same amount of fresh pumpkin to make it if you need to. )

Thank you! I am going to read it right now!

I think I only saw fresh pumpkins, and sometimes they are just cut to halves or big slices. But I can cook them to fit the recipe

Thank you, my dear friend I am glad that you think that it is good. Your support means a lot to me <3
I have never tried pumpkin soup  Only baked pumpkin and pumpkin juice. Oh yes, and pumpkin puree for babies XD I remember being so excited about the juice because it appeared so often in the HP books, I thought it would be delicious, but nooo XD
But I love the colours and the texture  I would totally keep a pumpkin at home just for decoration. I even tried once, but it got rotten in a couple of weeks, so I had to get rid of it

I don't like the taste of pumpkins either, but I like your drawing a lot. It transports a lot of the cheerful mood you've mentioned.

Thank you! I am so happy that you like it! I tried baked pumpkin and pumpkin juice (the latter because of Harry Potter books, they always drink it there ), but could never understand the taste. Apples are so much nicer But I love the colours, so bright and warm
