[wip] Pumpkin and squash

[wallpaper] Pumpkin and squash

Lately, the autumn atmosphere has been really strong. Leaves are falling... I wanted to draw something related to autumn. Then, the thought of pumpkin came to mind.

I usually draw animals, but sometimes I draw fruits or plants.... I've been thinking about drawing pumpkin once. I've been start Pikmin Bloom from last month and the main illustration there is a purple pikmin holding a pumpkin. Since I saw that illustration every day, maybe I felt some pumpkin pressure 😂

I drew it with both colors in mind from the beginning, so that it could match either one.

Originally, I was only going to draw 10 or 15, but there were so many attractive types of pumpkin and squash that I kept increasing them... I wanted to draw more if possible, but since fall is almost over, I compromised with this.

There are so many cute names!

Of these, I think the one I know best is Kabocha. It's incredibly sweet and delicious. I like to steam it and eat it. I even used it to hide medicine for my dog. It's soft and sweet. I'm really curious about the flavors of the other pumpkins that are featured here.

• Real pumpkins don't have animal ears or bat wings, but I drew them for fun

• I tried to reflect the actual size of the pumpkins to some extent. The small pumpkins in the picture are probably the size we can hold with one hand. I read the related articles for each pumpkin and it seems that some pumpkins can actually grow larger. Big Max is really huge. If I drew it exactly like its actual size, I would have had to exclude it because it would have filled the canvas with a fully grown Big Max. Big Max in this picture is probably a baby.

For the pumpkins that look like they're related to Halloween decorations, I drew them with slightly creepy mouths. For the pumpkins with "doll" in their names, I added cute eyelashes.

Thank you!
