Reading fears

I have no idea of how much time I spent trying to decide this one’s title. I thought on Crow’s spirit for some reason, then Observing (because there are 2 eyes looking at us), The fear, and some other before Reading Fears. I choose ts because this is supposed to be a creepy figure looking right at us, like it knows what we are afraid of.

I started doing this while I was on school, but then I made a break to work on other drawings, so I only came back to this one a week ago, when I went to Madeira, for short vacations, but I didn’t have much time, so I finished it here.

My goal was to create light and dark shades on the background with the graphite powder, but it didn’t work as I wanted.

On the center, there is an oddly shaped flower next to a “flame”, with an eye on the right. I wanted this to be some kind of plant, but someone told me it looked like a bird’s face, and I immediately thought on crows, because of the dark shadows. On the bottom right, there is a “melting eye” and a moth inspired shape. On the left, a leaf.
