Digital Illustration
The prompt for this illustration was to choose a unique fear and create a piece to illustrate that. I chose to illustrate Xanthophobia, the fear of the color yellow. Rather than going the route of blood, gore, frightened faces, and scared gestures; I decided to go for something that highlights the realities of coping with anxieties. This illustration is so calm, no one should even have to believe for a second that the prompt was fears! You begin to notice the plants that of which are dying in the light, and the cobweb in the corner of the window are highlighting the fact that our anxieties and fears make us neglect basic things. While, the all blue living room, wearing sunglasses inside, and even having her cat in sunglasses may be necessary coping mechanisms to be alleviated from these fears.
