A book illustrator, Soosh, talks about her fairytale art.
As I was researching Soosh to begin this article properly, I stumbled upon her YouTube videos. If you've ever seen her work, you'll notice that it seems as if an old fairytale is reborn. In addition, she adds her voice as a part of tales, she creates the whole experience a complete and enchanting one bringing her fairytale characters to life. Read on, but be sure you check out her YouTube channel and sip a cup of hot tea, and get ready for a pretty special fairytale evening.
We asked Soosh what she believes is the most important thing to capturing the little moments of everyday life through her art
"Hello, I'm Soosh. I was raised and born by the people. I do not identify myself with any nation, race, religion or any other. My life is spent observing people and myself as I delve into the details of everything. This is a difficult path. that's why I've not chosen it in advance however, I'm in the path. In terms of traditional art education, I have none whatsoever.

Though I'm aware there are modes of drawing and painting that can be described as styles, I have never given any thought to the type that my drawing be able to qualify as. If I would try to come up with a word to define the style, I would say it's an "fairytale realism" type of style. But speaking frankly, no style.
I think the key for me, as I see it is to look through your heart as you do with your eyes. It may take some practice to be able to see the little details, just like every other ability. You need to become still for a while and very much present in the moment. Take note of what you are doing. Be attentive, and not hurry.
My focus has always been people. The way they express themselves as well as their imitations, their gestures, their kind acts, as well as their flaws - all of it's so intriguing and intriguing for me. After that, it's a matter of time, a couple of pencils and some watercolour to dive in and bring to life these everyday pictures printed on paper."
