And about his childhood and the influence of the society that contained and nurtured him, and the emergence of his talent and his launch:
The “squid” confirms to Farqad creative magazine that since early childhood, as usual, he loved watching cartoon movies, but it was somewhat different. He used to bring his notebook and pens to draw cartoon characters while watching TV. Likewise, a person is the son of his environment, so the greenness of Al-Ahsa’s palm trees, the blueness of its eyes, the brownness of its sands, and all this interaction will inevitably produce either a painter, a poet, a writer, or an artist. And art.
Middle school drawing
Al-Habbara confirms that he was a lover of fine arts since childhood, and he was greatly influenced by his brother, the teacher of art education, the plastic artist, Professor / Adel Al-Habbara, as he used to accompany him to various plastic art exhibitions, and after that he found himself loving the art of cartoons, and when he was young, his brother, the art education teacher, gave him a book to teach He drew cartoons, which was the beginning of his launch and his learning of the art of cartoons, and then he took the initiative to refine his talent with hard work and continuity, as the beginning was in 2017 AD when he drew cartoons in the Nazaha Club competition, and he achieved third place, and this encouraged him to develop himself better and more .. as this competition formed The first fuel for its launch.
The work that formed the first breakthrough in the world of competitions
Al-Habbara mentioned what difficulties he faced and how he overcame them, as he stressed that the art of caricature depends on the idea, so he finds it difficult to find a new idea for a topic, so he needed visual nourishment for artists from different countries, to reach his own idea, transforming the idea, simplifying it, dismantling it, and drawing it in a template that fits All spectrums of society this is the most difficult challenge.
Likewise, drawing with traditional means (pen / notebook) is tiring in order to produce a final painting for the caricature artist. But he found what he needed in digital drawing devices, which made it much easier for him in the quality of work, ease and speed of publishing at an impressive level.
It is no secret that every artist has an example to follow or emulate in his art and drawings, so the “squid” spends most of his time in visual feeding for local and international cartoonists, as his compass is directed towards beauty, with the assertion that he feeds on beauty to produce beauty, and then prepares his own kitchen In order not to be similar and repeated copies of others.
And about the creative storm and how the ideas of the “squid” come together to generate inspiration, so that it becomes a distinguished child that takes possession of its creator, as it is a story in itself, where the cartoon artist forms a third eye that expresses the suffering of man in the modern era with life’s problems and various issues, as he notes that the sources of inspiration are many Including street events and humanitarian issues, the diversity of reading books, social networking sites, and all available means and observations of daily life in the Arab and international worlds.
