R.I.P. Skippy: Zombie Dog Pushing Out of a Halloween Grave

A grinning moon with spooky eyes and jagged teeth looks down on a graveyard hill in this busy Halloween scene. At the center, a big tombstone reads R.I.P. Skippy, with a jack-o'-lantern perched on top. A floppy-eared dog with a wide-open mouth seems to push out from behind the stone, and a furry, droopy-eared creature with a long snout sprawls in the heap of dirt and clutter below. Around them you can spot zombie arms reaching up, lace-up boots, more carved pumpkins, a small tombstone on the right, crosses on the left, and spiked fences along the hills. Try coloring the moon in pale yellows and grays, then use warm oranges for the pumpkins so they pop against cool greens and purples in the ground. It also works well for a lesson on foreground and background, since the dog and pile of objects stand out in front of the faraway fences.
