Greetings creative hivers, for #Zingtober day #15 challenge, I have done a black and white drawing as quoted in the challenge, the aforementioned day revolves around the word “Guidebook”. In this drawing, I have incorporated the Forest Healer in a much younger version. This young healer is aboard a hot air balloon shaped like a brain, a symbol of the relentless pursuit of knowledge and wisdom. In his hands, he holds a book that fills him with knowledge and makes him immensely happy.

The image of the Forest Healer, floating serenely in the cloud-filled sky, encapsulates the essence of a journey that is not only physical, but also spiritual and intellectual. The book he carries with him is his guide, a compendium of accumulated wisdom that illuminates his path and allows him to expand his horizons. This globe, with its unique shape, represents open-mindedness and the ability to dream and explore beyond conventional boundaries.

Overall, the drawing not only celebrates the “Guidebook” theme of the day, but also pays homage to youth, curiosity and the joy that comes from continuous learning and exploration. This has been a job that took me eight hours of work, but it was truly hours of satisfaction because in the manifestation of emotions in terms of knowledge, it is for me to own books and everything that nourishes my mind, soul and heart.
