illustration artist statement: A Junior Self-Portrait Illustration by Andres raygada (2011)

In my illustration, I am trying to show that my confidence leads me to being more of a risk taker. For confidence, I feel that if I at least try, I will definitely learn. I have learned that sometimes it leads me to doing things that can be dangerous. In my illustration, I show confidence by having a drawing of myself being on top of the world. The risks that I take because of my confidence are demonstrated by the world being placed on a skateboard, because I know it is possible to fall and hurt myself pretty badly.
