Scary!

EDM Challenge #70  Draw what you're afraid of.  This is a brown recluse spider. Spiders are useful creatures, I know this. They keep other insect populations in check, they tend to keep to themselves, they spin incredible, beautiful webs--all good things. But still, they give me the heebie-jeebies. As I wrote on the drawing, we recently moved from Chicago to Florida, where spiders, snakes, and other creepy crawlies live year round. Now I imagine them popping out from every crevice! When I have recurring scary dreams, they tend to involve spiders or driving. Honestly, I'm much more afraid of scarier, more sobering things, but I draw for fun, mostly - so here's a spider!

This is the second drawing I've done since we've moved. I went to do a watercolor yesterday and couldn't find my brushes, so I grabbed the pens instead. It's been fun! Yesterday I did a portrait for the Julia Kay Portrait Party - someone's childhood photo. I've posted that here, too.

I do need to find those brushes, though....
