A fairground clown rather than a frightening one, which is the version that belongs on a children's Halloween page. The curls either side of the hat, the ruffled collar and the three buttons are where the time goes; the suit itself is two big shapes that take any color. Give the hair and the nose the two brightest markers. This clown drawing to print suits a costume party invitation. The Halloween monster is friendlier still.
