  My practical application started through my pre-graduate projects in graphic department such as masks designs, toys designs and posters. In 1993, my graduate year, science fiction dominated all my works even my graduate project dealt with science fiction. After graduation, I joined “Bassem" Saudi Children Magazine. After watching my science fiction drawings, editor employed me. He realized my great desire to draw science fiction stories that his magazine then lacked, till that time, I used traditional techniques; drawing outlines on paper with pencil and using watercolors and airbrush for coloring.

  In 1994, I decided to change into digital art, I had no guide. I simply stared using Aldus Photo Styler 2 in coloring comics then Adobe Photoshop 2.5 till I discovered the great potentials of Fractal Design Painter 3. Finally, I used a graphics tablet instead of paper that I completely deserted. Now, I depend completely on digital technique using a graphics tablet, and Corel painter X.
