some disney princesses

my last job in egypt was a mural for a bookshop full of characters that children likes..the deadline was tight and i was able just to draw and ink them..didn't have the chance to color them..
i'll try to share a couple of characters before i leave :D
for now..those are some quick sketches i did between tasks ..
i was lazy to scan them all..just picked the disney princesses thing..
for me jasmine is the hardest to draw for some reason..a little mistake and she's not pretty anymore
i hope you like it :)

off to CANADA(edited)

this is an illustration i did for basim magazine for kids..

so..hello..
i've said this on my deviantart page..and i'll say it here too
so please read :)

i'm sorry i don't thank everybody at their page like i used to..and that i don't comment often on your work..

but i hope this will get better by time..things have been a mess and it's getting organized now..i've been really busy with some stuff and now i'm ready to share some news and may be ask for guidance too!

i'm moving to Canada later this month..i'll be leaving on the 26th..and this is going to be a huge change in my life that i'm excited about

i still have no idea where or what or how i'm going to work there..or even where to look..what's the best or not..and stuff like that.. i'm still clueless and worried financially but i think it will be ok.. i can wash dishes after all hehehe!

if anyone here have any advice work(and life) in canada..and where i might look for a job that have something to do with drawing i'd be so grateful!

probably i'm going to be living in vancouver BC or toronto ON ..but i'll go to my wife at NB first..and i'll stay there to finish some papers and make some visits for a couple of months then we're moving after!..i'm thinking toronto ..hmmm..

right now i'm working a lot to collect some funds before i leave..and spending time with family and friends..god knows when i'm going to see them again and that i really will miss them so much..

i'll make another journal before i leave..i just wanted to share my news and if you have any advice i'll be thankful ..

or you can just wish me luck

so..wish me luck guys!

Cheers!

so go there to get a boost of creativity !

colored!!

so first sorry for the long absense and not leaving comments to your art lately.. and god knows how much i love to look at your work..well..let's just say i'm really busy..work and personal life ..

well i'll try to post more ..but i promise i'll be more active by next month :)

so this is the colored version..it's all done with adobe illustrator.. and by the way it's my first attempt ever with a vector based software and it took me long time to get used to it ..would've taken me 1/10 th of time if done in photoshop..it might need more work ..but i'm happy with it...so have mercy :D
hopefully i'll get better :)

some sketches

well.. these are sketches for something that was kind of rejected..not totally..
so.. i'll post the colored ones when i'm calm! grrrrrrr!
frustrating i must say... duh!
