In the final stage we add the shadows. It should be done by light hatching. The lines should be approximately the same distance from each other. Add the slightly curving shadows to the stem, light shadows on the top and bottom of the pumpkin and smooth strokes inside the eyes, nose and mouth. In order to give effect of luminescence, add the strokes of shadows outside inwards.
