Halloween Jack-O-Lantern

This sketch of a menacing jack-o-lantern with a witch’s hat combines traditional Halloween iconography with stylized character design. The exaggerated facial features and angular hat suggest influence from classic horror illustrations, which use sharp lines to convey tension and drama (Jones, 2011). The piece reflects the artist’s exploration of holiday themes through a whimsical, spooky character. By balancing familiar seasonal elements with expressive design, the sketch resonates with viewers through its accessible yet eerie charm.
