If you use a transfer sheet, you transfer the sections you're going to cut and can then make much crisper lines and have more detail.
To get the shading and tones, ,cutting all the way through for the bright highlights, cut about half way through for the mid-tones and for lighter hightlight and details, like the tile dirt and lines in the first pumpkin, you just scrape the skin off with the blade and rub smooth with a bit of sand paper.
If you want to do a blood type of effect, you cut the part out, then slice the skin off the bit you cut and put that back on the pumpkin and hold it in place with toothpics, comes out really bright red/orange.
