Alex - Mehemed

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

Monika - Mehemed illustration

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 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!

Children

Since a long time I have a big desire, to create an unique story for my characters, what would be simpler and diffferent than other children books on the market, because of the minimal style and a funny story, what needed for…

Therefore I am looking for a writer, who has a special humour, senses and feelings for the children who would see and feel the story( they can’t read yet:) with a lot of animals and absurd situations.

Please note me if you have some ideas and feel able to do something good and funny together with me. Please use my contact page!
