Pen and Ink
12 in x 15 in

Part one of a project. View part two here.

We were asked to create a pen and ink illustration depicting a fear that some people may have. My choice for this is a fear of snakes. Personally, I’m not afraid of snakes (I love snakes and find them fascinating and regal), but I know snakes are a common fear for a lot of people.
 
In order to get across the concept of being fearful of snakes, I took a look at the most common reason why people are afraid of snakes. That reason is that they are afraid of the fangs and getting bit by a snake. From there, it was pretty easy to make the decision to focus on a snake’s mouth and setting up the composition as if the snake were striking out at the viewer.
