      Art direction / copy, "Halloween is creeping up soon! To have fun and protect yourself while trick-or-treating, remember this safety tip: Be sure you have some type of reflective material on your costume or carry a light stick or lit flashlight."

      Feedback would be greatly appreciated. As always, I'm hungry to learn and have a slice of humble pie. Thank you so much in advance!

          @tom-shannon This looks good - my thoughts are to possibly decrease left hand side of composition and add a bit to the right - possibly take the moon out or not center it - desaturate the background a bit is another idea - did a quick cut and paste too and messed around a bit - i went too dark but i do like the canvas being larger to the right - anyways - nice image!

            @kevin-longueil thank you for your feedback, rough comp. I like your ideas. I did noticed something seemed "off" to the left of the ghost. Good eye.

              @kevin-longueil That is what I was thinking, too.

              I really liked your illustration as is, but since it's about safety in the dark, I think pushing the values a bit really helps make the message clearer. I also like it extended on the right. Gives the piece more breathing room. I would also think about putting a bit of under-glow on the vampires nose.

                      @tom-shannon it's great, and I agree with what was said already. I think all it needs is a more nightish background to make those lights and glows pop.

                        @marsha-kay-ottum-owen This is a new illustration. I posted a pencil sketch of it a few weeks ago. Thank you!

                          @pamela-fraley Thank you for the kind words and feedback. I agree, the background needs to be darker. Work in progress.
