Muhammad drawing

This is one of my first drawings after a long time. Teaching art to children takes time and effort, at first I felt too tired to go on with my blog, but in shaa Allah I am getting used to it and finding a way to stay creative.
The first step I took was to always have a sketchbook and some pencils by my side, to be prepared in case of inspiration. And surprisingly it happened while having a break at school and letting this boy named Muhammad draw.

Mihrab painted by my pupils at Islamic school

This is the mihrab my school children painted in art class. For those who don't know, it is a niche in the wall of the praying room that indicates the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca.
