Something about Fear

Today I tried coloring something for the first time with colored pencils. I've always used Photoshop to do any coloring and I discovered I was afraid of coloring without it. So I decided to use Fear as the theme of the piece to be colored.

I like fear, it gives me a goal. To conquer my fear becomes my finish line and I can see the path in front of me more clearly once I know what is that wich fear.

I used to fear clowns. They look weird and shady hiding under makeup and costumes. But in this drawing it looks like the weird clown apparition is afraid of the human as well. Sometimes we don't realize that what we fear might fear us back in return. Looking at things from a different perspective helps me destroy my preconceptions, erases the felling of fear and gives me a better understanding of the world.

This drawing comes from a children's story I am making about a Starcatcher. The Starcatcher colects stars that people wish upon and puts them into his jar. In this scene the skeleton man (wich represents fear) is trying to persuade the starcatcher to give up his stars but the starcatcher will protect them and won't give into fear.
