A lovely birthday!
Turkish Village People's Life
I am working on my next personal illustration and these are the characters (Grand Child and the Grandma) that I have come up with. I have gathered couple of references to make it as close and believable to the people who live in Turkish villages. But these ones with having flowers and having gold accessories are in a a village called Comakdagi Kizilagac Koyu (Village). Women are very colorful and so friendly. It feels like you know them for a long time. They really act like you are part of them which makes you feel more home in Turkey. I have visited this village couple of years ago and it felt like a hidden magical whimsical place. Its just you can't believe how they be so creative with their outfit. So you think everyone can be an artist right?! I just felt so overwhelmed with emotions when I see this place and the people.... There are so much things that we don't know about our country and their people. Maybe thats why we feel so disconnected from each other. I love my people no matter we have different perspectives we have our common features our history identity. I want to share my love and the beauty of my people with the world as much as possible. We need to show ourselves that we are more than the things people say about as or sometimes they just judge us very wrong and i want to be one of the people can have an effect on changing this perseption.
