Candle Glow on a Grinning Skull

A wide-mouthed skull tilts slightly, showing a big row of squared teeth. Its eye sockets sit dark and round, with one a little larger for a silly look. Thin cracks curve along the temple and jaw like tiny roads. Right on top, a chunky candle perches, and wax drips curl down its forehead.

The small flame stands steady, shaped like a leaf and ready for a warm glow. Bold lines make friendly spaces for bright colors and careful strokes. The smooth skull dome leaves plenty of room for spooky shading and soft highlights. The open background invites extra doodles like stars, candy, or a crescent moon.

Fun Fact!

In medieval times, a practice called "souling" involved the poor going door-to-door on All Souls' Day, receiving food (soul cakes) in return for prayers for the dead.
