Why did you make this work:
The initial impetus for making this book was the fact that children's (and especially boys') interest in reading is decreasing. In this ghost story, the main character learns that when you read and use your imagination, you can experience great adventures. And at the same time you can also learn something about yourself and other people.

What materials and techniques did you use?:
Digital illustration (illustrator, procreate, photoshop) with hand-drawn textures scanned.

How were your illustrations used:
Picturebook, not yet published.
