Shy



Somehow shy is often thought to be something to be fixed.  True shy can get in the way of doing the things you want to do, but shy is undervalued for the shy person is often the most observant, thoughtful, insightful person.  Trouble is that the celebrated Big, bold, loud, rarely stops to notice.  If big and bold sees it’s only to tell shy to "not be shy" which of course only makes shy retreat.  In the quiet are where the solutions are found and the course can be corrected to a true setting.  So, be kind to the shy and listen for if allowed to speak they will tell you amazing things.

Wonderful style! Super cool people and great details! I'm not sure "shy" is such a bad word! But it is good to know how to come out of your shell sometimes! :)

Very true, very well said too!! Love your illustration, speaks as clearly as your words!! I do think that "shy" is undervalued too...I think most creative people are introvert, and that is often necessary to create original ideas. :) I am on team Shy!! hehehe

Love your take on "Shy" and the way you think. Love your characters, their mood and personality you capture in the way you illustrate.
