Demons

Original Title: The Looming Shadow

Description: A 10.5 by 11 inch drawing using powdered charcoal, charcoal pencil, white charcoal pencil, vine charcoal, and a variety of blending materials.

Artist Statement: The drawing explores the idea of the hidden demons lurking in the shadows. The girl is dressed very simply. She appears plain, unassuming, and unthreatening as she reads a book, unaware of the world around her. She is in stark comparison with the looming shadowy demonic being behind her.
