I really like this illustration. It has a very dark tone that is really emphasised can communicated well throughout the image. The red skull face of the main character, the blue hands reaching up tied around by a noose. Shape in this image plays a fundamental role. Squares within the body of the main character, the shapes of the arms as well. There are rectangles in the legs and arms and triangle shapes make up the feet. The composition of the image is good, I really like how the rope is used as a line of sight to uncover different elements of the image , and how it interacts with different elements of the image. There is also a line of sight from the main figures shoulders to the head and across, this gives an idea of the direction they are going in , and what too. When looking at the picture you slowly realise the it is a noose and you follow the rope round and then you see the hole story behind the image, a hang man dragging his victims off to be hung.
Using subtil textures within the shapes helps to show the tone and values , and I think it looks better then flat shapes however are flat shapes bolder?
