EDM Challenge #70 - Draw something you fear.
This was a difficult challenge for me because I couldn't think of anything I am scared of or fear. I finally remembered when I am put back in the boiler house after a long absence from it I am totally petrified. All the load noises going on from every where freak me out. You don't know if they are normal, supposed to be there or what's going on. My heart races and I shake. I keep looking over my shoulder every time I hear a new noise while I am doing the chemical tests...Freaking out! It takes about 3 days on the job to get used to all the freaky noises.
This is a picture of boiler No. 1. There are three in the boiler house. Drawn in my sketchbook with black pen. I might colour it one day.

OOOOO! Creepy!!! I am not sure that I would like going in there either. I like the looming effect of your drawing.
Great drawing, interesting story! I had the same problem coming up with something I fear just right off the cuff like that! My initial reaction was "I can't think of any thing I am afraid of (yet I know there are really lots of things!)
Interesting subject. I used to be terrified of the heater in my grandparents basement. If it kicked on while I was down there, you could see these two glowing eyes behind the grate and I would run to the safety of the steps until it stopped running.
Wow, what a detailed drawing and so wonderfully done! Great job!
I can see why you think it is creepy too. Love your drawings, have finally had time to scroll through some Penny in South Australia
This would scare me! Nice sketch.
hi shelly. your drawings are always so detailed and interesting as this one is. i would be terrified to have to be responsible of such a monster. great fridge drawings too.
I like this drawing for lots of reasons. The fear, yes, I'm sure it would scare me, but the name plaque "Trevor" reminds me of that Judy Horacek cartoon about "nameless dread" inwhich she finally names her dread "Kevin"! Having that plaque there difuses some of the tension created by your perspective and detail. Yes, I love it!
