Hi, this is an entry that I'm submitting for a contest on teen job safety. I wanted to express the theme that a key component of safety at work is to work together and have co workers look out for each other.
I used canson paper with marker, pastel, and whiteout. I know the anatomy is pretty off, and the are some fundamental composition problems, but if you could also point out improvements I could make directly on the poster before I send it out, I would grateful appreciate it. Thanks!
C&C please.

Looks okay to me... But to improve it, my crit would be that there are several messages being illustrated here, and that the characters could be more graphic/ easily readable in their actions. When I think of safety posters, I think more about silouhettes, and one simple message per poster. That's my 2 cents.

My sketchbook is here (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=71080)

I would agree with softocean that it's kind of a lot of information. The 'safety whisp' that goes through the poster could be thicker maybe with less contrast.
Overall though, I think the media is very appropriate as well as drawing style.
