This little piggy stayed at home.
This little piggy has roast beef,
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy cried “Wee! Wee! Wee!” all the way home

Put here, put there,
It’s cheesy answer
Yumm-yumm!

Turkish and the Cows (hungarian folk-tale)

Monika Vass — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 19:41:45 +0000

Alex Alexeev is my son, he created this fantastic illustration about an awesome tale, what he learned in the school. I just made mine just because actually it is my site, even if he is more talented…

Also you can read the tale in my translation:

Turkish and the Cows

Once a Turkish, Mehemed
No cow whom ever met
He just even didn’t know
How cows should be called

When the Turkish took a bow
He could see many cows
It’s a wonder!-said Mehemed
Do they really look like that?

Hi, my name is Mehemed
I’m very glad that we’ve met
Start to count all the moos
They just have a lot of hues

Suddenly he understood
There are only 3 type of moos
Black, white and brindled are main
Just never pull their tiny tail!

But Mehemed was not as clever
And those cows just kicked him over!

The little pig and the wolves (hungarian folk-tale)

Monika Vass — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 10:37:28 +0000

Once upon a time there was a little pig, who had a little house in a deep forest. Once, when the little pig was cooking a lunch for himself, suddenly the big draggled wolf came and said through the door:
- Please let me in my kind ,dear piggy-wiggy, it’s such a cold outside ,I’m freezing!
- I am not as silly to let you in, because you’re gonna eat me!
- At least let one of my back foot!
The little pig opened the door and let one of back foot of the wolf. But he already thought
will be helpful to put a cooking pot on the cooker full of water.
After a few seconds the wolf said again:
- Hey , my friend, dear piggy-wiggy , let my other back leg in the door, it is really cold out here!
The little pig let the other leg either. But even this was not enough for the cruel wolf, soon he
started again:

: The pig and the wolves folk-tale

- My best friend piggy, please let both of my front feet also.
The little pig let his front feet, but even this was not enough for the wolf, then started again:
-My sweety-kindy piggy- wiggy, let my body in completely, believe me you’ll see I do not touch you even with a finger!
Then the little pig put a bag watchfully next to the door, if this draggled wolf comes from the back directly to the bag. So the little pig could let him in!
The wolf went straight to the bag, the piggy suddenly closed the mouth of the bag, picked the pot full of hot water and scalded the rude wolf with it and fastly climbed the nearest tree next to his house. The wolf was shouting and crying, that the boiled water took all hair away from his body like no one remained on. After all was rolling around madly, then could open the bag. He slipped out from it, and started to run immediately to bring some help. Soon came with several of his wolves, they all were searching for the little pig . Till then when one of them could watch him on the top of the tree, hanging on it. The cruel wolves were standing below , and thinking what can they do ? ‘Cause none of them could climb even a bush, not even a tall tree.

So later on had a desicion, that they will climb on each other, to be as high then the upper wolf can reach this tricky piggy.
Then the wolves started to climb on each others back, but the bold, the wretched one stayed under all, because he was such as scared, like this everybody was standing on him.
They were standing so high, only one made a mistake, so this one could climb too, but then the little pig was shouting on them: Stream the boiled water on bold!
The bold wolf got frightened, jumped out from under all the wolves were flying down one by one, who had broken legs and necks, and this luckness bold was running as fastly as never could see him anymore, anywhere.

The little pig scrambled down from the tree, no one wolf was enough brave to disturb him in his house anymore.

Nyunya and the Sea Monster illustration

I would like to share my drawing-technics with You, who is visiting my new site. Maybe it can bring some new experiences..:)

So, the first what I do is to DRAW! It sounds very simple , isn’t it!? But seriously, first I imagine the picture in my head, and then create a rough with HB or 2B pencil ( it depends what I have at home )┬á on paper A4. When I feel ok, or sometimes fabulous (rearly) it is ready to clean-up, I use a non-permanent black pen, the exact name of it is Stabilo OHPen Universal. I tell because this is a wonderful pen, helped me a lot during work. After all these I scan the picture on 300 dpi in Photoshop as PSD format. In Photoshop the first thing what I do is to choose the right colors for the background, because later they can’t be changed so much, for example: the sky is blue, the tree and grass are green, the water can be dark blue, etc..

The moon expedition illustration

Later it will be easier to compare the colors with the smaller details. Normally I use the paint bucket to fill the big areas, after with Tablet I can paint with the brush tool, to make some shadows I use in multiply mode. But the most important in coloring is the bright-feeling when I am watching the picture, it shouldn’t upset me.
Sometimes happens to me that I am not satisfied with my result, then I have to import some different layers with other characters or new details.

So that is! I hope I said everything for You, anywhere You are!
