From the Illustration Friday quote: "Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them." - Jim Carrey
Pondering on what the fear described might be based, so many times one turns a corner and finds the unknown too much to face - open doorway, blank page, empty calendar - no matter how vast the blank, all filled one step, one word, one action at a time.
And despite the inference of the above quote, no need to overcome fear to take that first step, accept the opportunities that develop, write that first word - and the next and the next... just do it despite the fear, and then forget all about fear in discovery, growth and all that they bring.
Like your style..great crosshatching!
ReplyDeleteThe expression and hand positions are dovetailed well to show the anxiety here.

I love this one, how you managed to show how afraid he is not of dark, not of entering a tunnel, but of going outside, into the light... very interesting concept.
