Purple/ Ljubičasta (fashion illustration/ modna ilustracija)
I think this is the longest I have ever gone without posting anything. Ever since I started my blog, I've been posting very frequently. I had a lot of posts prepared ( I always do) but I don't like posting when I don't have the time and energy to visit other blogs (and this flu really got to me). I don't see the point in posting if I know I won't be able to answer the comments. I'm not saying that is the right way, but it is my way. I've been thinking about blogging lately and I think that following other blogs might be enough for me. I have more than a hundred already written posts, but I'm not sure do I have the need the post them. Maybe it means that it is time to let go of this little place of my own. Perhaps retiring is not a bad idea. I'll figure it out. In the meantime, I'm sharing this fashion illustration with you. I illustrated an all purple outfit, very feminine and if I can add quite Spring appropriate. Medium is watercolour on paper (I did a sketch in pencil before applying watercolours). I didn't use a reference for this girl, I was inspired (as often) by more than one person. Landscape is typical for my illustrations, I think that my need to always have a hill in the background has to do with the cities I live in. As for the outfit, it is something I would love to wear myself. Another thing.... I have always loved purple.
Mislim da je ovo najdalje što nisam objavljivala od kada sam započela ovaj blog. Od samoga početka bloga objavljivala sam jako često. Imala sam jako puno (kao i uvijek) objava u pripremi, ali ne volim objavljivati kada nemam vremena i energije za posjetiti druge blogove ( ova gripa me baš umorila). Ne vidim smisla u objavljivanju ako znam da neću imati vremena odgovoriti na komentare. Ne kažem da to treba tako biti, ali to je moj način. Razmišljala sam o svemu tomu i mislim da je možda praćenje drugih blogova za mene sasvim dovoljno. Imam više od stotinu već napisanih i pripremljenih objava, ali nisam sigurna da ih imam potrebu objaviti. Možda to znači da je vrijeme da ga pustim. Možda je vrijeme za mirovinu. Razmislit ću. Vrijeme će pokazati. U međuvremenu, dijelim ovu modnu ilustraciju sa vama. Ilustrirala sam posve ljubičastu kombinaciju, jako ženstvenu i ako mogu dodati baš prikladnu za proljeće. Koristila sam olovku za skicu i vodene boje za popunjavanje ilustracije, a radila sam na papiru. Krajolik je tipičan za moje ilustracije, mislim da se moja potreba za brdom u pozadini može povezati s gradovima u kojima živim. Nisam koristila neku fotografiju ili slično kao referencu za djevojku, nadahnulo me (kao često) više osoba. Što se tiče same odjevne kombinacije, to je nešto što bi i sama voljela nositi. Još nešto...uvijek sam voljela ljubičastu.
I loved the way you illustrated the outfit and heels along with the background details. =)

thanks babe. I want a pair of heels just like this one!
DeleteDear, you're so talented!!! This illustration is gorgeous and so is her outfit! ;)
ReplyDeleteAs for the blogging thing, I think we'll all know eventually when it's time to retire, if you don't find the same passion for it as in the beginning maybe that's an alert. Or maybe you just need a break, not necessarily a retire. Whatever the case is, we, your readers, will understand. :)

you're very sweet. I think I'll just take some time to think about it all, maybe I need to change something. When we don't feel passion for blogging anymore, than that is red alert indeed.
DeleteCool illustrations! =)

thank you Jessica<3
DeleteLjubičasta je baš lijepa, moćna boja.
ReplyDeleteŠto se tiče bloga, razumijem dio s potrebom da budeš tu i odgovaraš mada, po meni , ništa se neće desiti ako malo kasniš jer svi imamo živote pored bloga i nismo u mogućnosti sjediti i čekati da netkokomentira, pa da odmah pišemo odgovore. bila bi šteta da prestaneš pisati, mislim da ti je ovo divan kanal i medij (drugi blog znam da imađ, ali ne pratim) i bilo bi mi žao da se potpuno povučeš. jesi razmišljala uzeti jednostavno pauzu od bloga? malo ohaneš, pogledaš svijet oko sebe, vidiš treba li što mijenjati u blogu..lako ćeš prestati s blogom, samo nemoj prebrzo donijeti tu odluku ;) sretno s virusima, nadam se da ćemo s proljećem svi biti zdraviji
hvala ti puno draga Zuba.
DeleteOMG Ivana, 100 post written, I feel lucky if I have two post ready! I usually do one at a time...
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better now, I have a flu jab every year, I do not want to catch it and cancel a trip or something...
Once you have more energy you will be thinking differently, flu can leave you so lack of energy that you probably need a break, when I got the flu being student I fall to the floor unconscious for the fever, flu can be very bad.
Your illustration is beautiful

yes, it is really up to us to decide whether it is for us or not.
Deletethat is probably the most lovely woman I have seen you do, dear. Very gorgeous! Fully understand the whole retirement thing. Blogging is still fun for me but Instagram changes have made that a real pain and I get much less joy from it. So it is tough to get motivated. Thanks for the well wishes and I send some to you too to heal from your illness

I'm glad you like this illustration. I hope you're feeling better too.

DeleteI think that everyone has a blogging crisis sometimes. You make beautiful illustrations and 100 posts prepared is a good motivation to keep on blogging ;)
ReplyDeletexo, Daria
good point, I should probably post those 100 post since I have them prepared and all:)
DeleteDivna ti je ova ilustracija, možda mi je jedna od najdražih u zadnje vrijeme! :) Što se bloga tiče, znaš i sama koliko krizu sam ja prošla sa svojim, kako sam također nestala na neko vrijeme i bila gotovo uvjerena da ću ga ugasiti...ali onda sam se malo vratila unatrag, sjetila se zbog čega sam sa svime počela, što mi je najvažnije i shvatila da zapravo puno toga trebam promijeniti kako bi u potpunosti odražavao ono što sam ja sad, a ne što sam bila prije 4 godine i odjednom se stvar pokrenula sama od sebe :) Možda tako i tebi treba vremena da sjedneš i promisliš o nekim stvarima, trenutačnim interesima i onome što ti je najvažnije i onda će se odgovori pojaviti kad ih najmanje očekuješ :) Samo polako! :*
ReplyDeleteznam, mislim da je i meni to trebalo, malo razmisliti zašto sam ga pokrenula i u kojem smjeru trebam nastaviti.
Deletethanks dear :D

Meni bi bilo mnogo žao da napustiš blog ali te ujedno razumem i jer sama ponekad dođem do zasićenja. U svakom slučaju pauza dobro dođe u svemu pa neka to bude makar jedna pozitivna stvar koje je proistekla iz dana kada ti je bilo loše. Prati ritam koji tebi odgovara. Sve ovo oduzima jako mnogo vremena, kao što znaš i sama, a svi mi imamo i stvarne živote koji su daleko važniji od ovih virtuelnih.
ReplyDeleteIlustracija je san snova! Zaista mi se čini da je svaka još bolja od prethodne. Divan je spoj boja, položaj tela, a i frizura i kombinacija su nešto što bih rado nosila ;)
Želim ti lep vidend :)
hvala ti, ponekad nam stvarno treba pauza...a što se ilustracija tiče, drago mi je što ti se dopada... trudim se da mi modne ilustracije ne izgledaju sve isto, već uvijek nastojim naslikati drukčiji položaj tijela. Skupljam nadahnuća posvuda pa se to sve nekako skupi u jednu ilustraciju.
DeleteMoram da ti priznam da sam i sama bila u debeloj krizi ovih poslednjih dana ali rekla bih da sam bolje sada. Nadam se da si i ti <3 A što se ilustracija tiče, trud se primećuje i mislim da napreduješ velikom brzinom :)
Deletehvala ti puno, drago mi je što si bolje i ja sam. Izgleda da nas je dolazak proljeća malo zatekao:)
DeleteI'm sorry to hear you've had the flu - I hope you're feeling much better now, hopefully this new month will treat you well! The colour purple has really grown on me lately and your illustration of this purple dress here has added to that fondness :)

I really appreciate it sweetie!
DeletePrava damska chic ilustracija i to u ljubicastoj boji, savrseno!
ReplyDeleteRazumem te draga u potpunosti sto se tice pauziranja na blogu. Kreativne blokade su često prisutne kod svih nas, kao i nedostatak vremena, stres ili prolecni umor i viroze. Nadam se samo da nećeš skroz odustati, jer iskreno uzivam u tvojim postovima. Odmori se i provedi lep vikend,

You are truly one of a kind! I think that's what makes you a caring and genuine person even when we're surrounded by fake people on the Web. I want to have time to visit and leave some love on every blog I visit, and it makes me feel bad when I don't. It's nice to know that you think about it this way though. I don't find it odd. I find it very reassuring that people like you still exist. Thank you! Whatever you want to do with your blog, that is up to you. This is your space, but I like reading about your travels!
ReplyDeletethank you very much dear Rachel, your comment means a lot to me.
DeleteOh, I was also wondering where have you been why you are away for so long. Thank God you are getting better now dear. Please take care of yourself. Amazing art as always! though I am not a big fan of purple, your art captures my soul! Have an amazing week dearest and stay strong and creative as always!!! <3

DeleteI really like this one Ivana. Great illustration. Regarding blogging, I feel taking breaks are important, I seem to do it by the month, lol. Take a step back, get inspired, come back or whatever you do I'm sure you will be happy. That's what is important. :) /Madison

I do agree with you. It is important to find the right pace for ouselves.

DeleteI have been wondering where you were. I think you are incredibly good at visiting and supporting other blogs. Rest assured though, we come here because we value what you write so I would miss your insightful posts. Xx
ReplyDeleteYour illustration is beautiful. I actually used to have a dress just like that. I wish I still had it as I'd send it to you.x
thank you Kezzie. That is so sweet...and so funny you had the same dress.
DeleteDear Ivana, hope you feel better now! And personally I would be sad if you would retire with your blog - but I think this is a decision which only one can do for oneself. At least I had the honour and pleasure to know you personally through your blog what I really appreciate. I think sometimes things are "finished" and we don't need to do them anymore and it happened already often to me in my life.
ReplyDeleteAs usual I really love your illustration - now I want only to own such a dress in reality :)
Hope you will recover completely soon!

thank you sweet Rena. Yes, it is true that some things are 'finished' when we sense they are and then it is the right moment to move on.
DeleteOh no, Ivana, I know you're not feeling well but I hope everything is okay and you'll change your mind about retiring from the blogsphere. I don't understand what's in the air recently, there's been a few bloggers whom I follow who have mentioned about retiring too. But a part of me understands why...blogging is consuming, time, mentally and emotionally too. I hope you'll stay, you're one of my favourite. ;-(
ReplyDeleteShireen | Reflection of Sanity
yes, it is very consuming, especially when one has been doing it for a long time.
Deleteyou're very talented!

DeletePoslušaj filozofiju koju si ti meni jednom napisala...kad ti se piše pišeš, kada ne odmaraš. I tako i je...10-ak dana ništa, a onda u četiri dana tri posta, i ja zadovoljna...i tako to radim za svoj gušt, a ne lovim brojke ili posao preko njega. A kada je tako, imam svu slobodu svijeta. Uzmi pauzu kolika ti treba, ali nema potrebe da gasiš, prije ili kasnije će ti biti žao. :*
ReplyDeleteIlustracija je divna, nekako melankolična, ali ne i depresivna. <3
da, možda je tako najbolje. Na kraju krajeva, zašto bi morali robovati nekom rasporedu kada za to nema potrebe.
DeleteLovely Post! Thanks for sharing! I just updated my blog, you should check it out! xx

DeleteHello lovely lady. Your illustrations are fabulous as always. You have true talent for transferring emotion in your art. As for the blogging, my advice would be to simply follow your heart. Take a break if you need to do so. I did right after starting LiWBF. I am on a writing break as well. Taking a break from the rigors of indie publishing has definitely helped me to refocus and recharge. Yet one thing I can promise you is that no matter how much time you need to figure things out, your readers and friends will understand. We'll still be here waiting when you return. You're a great person and it shows in your posts. The blogosphere needs lights like yours to shine. However, whichever way you decide to go, you have my support.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you!

DeleteGood to know that you're feeling better, Ivana :) What about the thing which you wrote about your blog,I think that when something bad is happening in our lifes, we're all thinking about retiring/letting go. But sometimes all what we really need is little break and finding new inspirations. I hope that you won't retire, because I really like your blog, my creative friend:)

ReplyDeleteSvi smo dosli do zasicenja i znam kako ti je! Mislim da je najveca kolicina nekih opterecenja proizasla iz moje glave! Ajme... necu moci objaviti nista tjedan dana, necu moci ici na druge blogove, sta ce cure misliti... nemoj se opterecivati time! Istina, vecina ljudi ti odgovara tak kada ti napises njima nesto ali ima ljudi koji ce te uvijek pratiti i voljeti bez obzira jer ti objavis ili ne, komentiras ili ne, odgovoris ili ne... nemoj nikada dopustiti da ti blog postane opterecenje... kada sam ja sebi to sve lijepo poslozila u glavi, postala sam puno manje opterecena i sretnija! Nitko od nas ne zivi od bloga i on nam ne smije biti tlaka vec gust. Uzmi si malo vremena i daj si oduska. A mi cemo te uvijek cekati i nadam se, docekati! :****
ReplyDeletei meni većina opterećenja dolazi iz glave, uvijek sam nešto nezadovoljna samom sobom...ma tipično žensko.
DeleteSlažem se s tobom, najbitnije je da nam blog ne postane opterećenje. Treba nam biti rasterećenje, a ne opterećenje. Kada to tako postavim u glavi, odmah mi je lakše.
I hope the flu has gone doll and you feel much better, am back to my blog as well. Having the flu can be horrible!! I wish you a wonderful new week :) xx
ReplyDeletethank you sweetie.
DeleteZnam kako ti je. Ja sam na pocetku ove godine odlucila da stavljam samo one postove koji mi se potpuno svidjaju i u koje dajem sve od sebe. Manje sam prisutna ali imam bar vremena da odgovorim ljudima/komentarišem a i ovako sam sama vise zadovoljna sa blogom. Odluka je naravno sasvim tvoja, kako god da odlucis. Mozda treba proci malo vremena da vidis kako stoje stvari. Bilo kako, od mene imas potpunu podrsku u svakom primeru :) Ja verujem da ce sve proci dobro i da pratioci stoje uz tebe :D xx Maja
ReplyDeletehvala ti draga. Možda to trebam i ja napraviti. Najbitnije je da smo mi same zadovoljne, ostalo je sve sporedno.
DeleteI have seen your work get better and better every single day and i couldn't more proud. Happy to know you are getting better. Do get all the rest you want. Blogging is a fun way to stay connected with friends and share your passion but if you need a much needed break, go for it then come back more inspired and 10 times stronger. I know i can always find you on social media :). Take care of yourself sweetheart!

ReplyDeleteVery nice! I would honestly miss you and your posts if you stopped blogging but you should do whatever feels right for you.

DeleteA lovely drawing Ivana!! I love purple too. Perhaps less frequent posting rather than stopping, or take a break. You have sooooo many commentators that it makes it very time consuming to answer everyone.

less frequent posting is probably a good idea.
DeleteI know you used to post much and when I haven't seen your posts for a while I thought that it's feedback that failed to deliver them to me (sometimes it happens). Now I see that it wasn't. Your energy and productivity with blogging has always amazed me...Maybe you just got tired of all this. Perhaps you just need a break...
