Greetings followers and dear friends
I participated in a workshop for children's book illustrations with David Habchy and Joan Baz, which was part of the Children's Book expo that took place here in Sharjah.
the workshop was amazing. they focused on research more than being all technical. they wanted us to go out of our comfort zone and try new things.
Well after a couple of exercises, each one of us had to come up with a character and then have a spread illustrated with the technique based on the research we did earlier.  

I will posting my illustration here tomorrow, as I am still fixing it a little on Photoshop.
My character is a raccoon spirit creature that lives inside a whisk  >_<    i will be explaining more tomorrow once i upload the illustration.

At the end it was a hell of fun of an experience, I truly enjoyed it and I am looking forward for any coming workshops from Dived and Joan
