Description ONE FREAKING MINUTES BEFORE THURSDAY!! HAH!

Day 1 of the 7 Days Drawing Challenge by 365-DaysOfDoodles
Re-Named it from "Seven Day Drawing Challenge" to "Siva Days", I hope you don't mind.
Theme: Selfie!
EDIT: More accurately (because no, I'm no bird):

Day 1 - Selfie! You have to draw yourself
 
Why? I think drawing yourself is a very deep experience. It requires observation and a sincere point of view of the artist. You'll choose what features you like the most about you and the ones you're not very comfortable with. It's an exercise of self knowledge. It doesn't have to be realistic! Any style is allowed

I took that with interpretations. No, I won't put a drawing/photo of myself online and you won't as well or ninjas will get you.  

So it's symbolic - and with the "what features me with what I'm not very comfortable with".
Fear it is. Fear of being overrun with incidents (wave). Fear of forgetting time (clock). Fear of maths - more like failing in it (numbers). Fear of being attacked.
Fear of death. Fear of being laughed at. Fear of not making anything out of my time. Fear of being ignored. Fear of being awkward. And so on.

Why Fear? Knowing what I like is easy - drawing - , so it's no "deep observation". Better is admitting Fear.

The fantasy-bird in the left down corner is a creature of mine, representing me in the picture (is called Land-striped seagull - Landstreifenseemöve).

No, I don't know if it's a real moleskin, but I love it anyway.
Oh, and a random rubberduck xD

One of the best "selfies" I think. This is a great way of introducing yourself you know. I really enjoy it

thanks a lot! :3
and I'm kinda relieved since I saw most other users did a real selfie picture
while mine uses only symbolisms of some of my personality traits
(of course not all, that would be.... fearful xD )
