Draw: Use a washable marker to sketch out the face. It’s OK to mark over corrections — you’re going to wash it off at the end.

Scoop: Use a melon-ball scoop to create an eyeball that, without removing, you will gently spin in its socket for a 3-D effect that Marc created on TV’s “Halloween Wars.”

Etch: With a linoleum cutter, define the eye by etching around the ball to create a classic jack-o’-lantern shape. Don’t go too deep — just about ¹/8-inch deep will complement the eyeballs well.

Scrape: Scrape out the skin with the cutter and go a little deeper into the area that will become the mouth.

Design: Create teeth definition with a variety of sizes of paring knifes and clay loops. Use the biggest blades first to create a basic structure (such as the outline of each tooth), then go back over with smaller tools for the little details (gum lines, tooth ridges, etc.). Voila!
