MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Hi there, I'm David! 👋
I’m a professional artist with a passion for teaching aspiring artists.
When I started my art journey, I struggled so much because I lacked “skills”. The truth was, I just needed a better process. I’ve spent 10+ years honing my workflow for creating professional-quality illustrations, and in this challenge, I’m going to walk you through it.
Even if you are a beginner you can paint awesome digital art! You just need a simple, effective process to do so. The Pumpkin Carving Challenge provides exactly that!
Get inspired by the other participants
Being surrounded by artists like you is important. By joining the challenge, you’ll be painting with the entire Paintable community! Stay inspired and get connected in the Discord!

Got questions?
We’ve got answers!👇
Are you passionate about digital art and Halloween? This challenge is perfect for you! Whether you’re young or old, a hobbyist or a professional, everyone is welcome to join and showcase their creativity while painting their Jack “o” Lantern.
The Pumpkin Carving Challenge is designed for beginner and intermediate-level digital artists.
Most people who take the challenge have some experience already with digital art and illustration, and are looking to take their skills to the next level.
Yes, we highly recommend you use a tablet to follow along with this course!
Any tablet will do – whether that’s a Huion, Wacom, Apple iPad Pro, Microsoft, or any other make. You don’t need a professional tablet to paint professional artwork!
You can follow along in any software! We’ll be using Adobe Photoshop (which we highly recommend), but you can follow along in Procreate, Krita, Clip Studio, Corel Painter, or any other software of your choice!
Nope – all lessons will be available online, so you can follow along from the comfort of your own home (or studio, if you’re fortunate enough to have one)!
It’s completely free 🙂
If you like the class, all we ask is that:
- You’d be so kind as to leave me some feedback or a testimonial
- You share it with your friends! The more the merrier 🙌
The One Week Character Challenge begins Monday October 21st, 2024!
