Kawthar Omar is based in Birmingham, UK. Her practise is mainly about a character she has developed over the past 7 years. This character is used to express herself in many ways, a representation of her internal self. She also uses her character to do things she can’t. Kawthar has developed Tsubame’s life, relating it closely to her own life experiences. By creating the first 2 chapters of her manga (Stitched), she helps others understand her better and to enjoy Tsubame’s tale. 

Kawthar uses expressive techniques to show Tsubame’s emotions (Kawthar’s emotions), using paint and thread to cover her workspace. She also does more controlled work, using fine markers and adding digital glow. The dark colours contrasting with bright red is a trait Kawthar enjoys using when drawing Tsubame. It is mainly to show the power and fear Tsubame will hold in Stitched soon.
