Description This was another speed painting prompt, this Time from: [link]

"You should do a painting that somehow portrays arachnophobia."

This one was tricky, I myself don't have serious arachnophobia, I don't like 'em, but I can deal with them. I tried various ideas but none of them really worked well. So I went with the concept that with a phobia, the subject of the phobia, in this case the spider, always looks and feels bigger and scarier than it is.

This is also my submission for drawing day.

Hope you enjoy!

Wow . . . I totally forgot I suggested this . . . I must say it is very effective, so effective I almost don't like it, and I had a hard time faving it. But it really is good! I think it totally portrays that feeling! I think even if someone doesn't mind spiders, if they see this they will understand how those who hate spiders feel. Very cool!
