An illustrator for books, Soosh, talks about her fairytale illustrations.
As I was researching Soosh to begin this article correctly, I discovered her YouTube videos. If you've seen her work, you'll know that it's like the fairytale of dreams was revived. By also adding her voice into the shape of stories, she can make the whole experience a complete and enchanting one bringing her fairytale characters to life. Keep reading but make sure you stop by on her YouTube channel and sip a cup of hot tea. Get ready for a magical fairytale evening.
We spoke to Soosh about the key for capturing those small details of life every day in her work.
"Hello, I'm Soosh. I was raised and born by the people. I do not identify myself with any country, nationality, religion or other. My life is spent looking at people, myself and others and analyzing the details of everything. It's a tricky path, I haven't chosen it deliberately and yet I'm doing the path. If it's the traditional art school I don't have any.

While I'm aware there are different ways of painting and drawing we call styles, I've never really given any thought to the kind that my drawing fit into. If I tried to find the words to define the style, I would say it's something like a "fairytale realist" style. But speaking frankly, no style.
The key, as I understand it is to look using your heart as you can with your eyes. You may need some time to be able to see the little details, just like any other skill. It is important to be quiet for some time and completely present in your present. Take note of what you are doing. Be attentive, and not hurry.
My interest has been always the people. The way they express themselves, their mimics and gestures, their kind acts, as well as their flaws - all of it's so intriguing and fascinating for me. After that, it's a matter of time, some pencils, as well as a watercolour pen to dig in and bring to life those daily pictures on paper."
