My illustrations of the day / Moje ilustracije dana

Today I'm sharing four illustrations with you.  Two of them are fashion illustrations and the other two are portraits. The first 3 were illustrated with just an eyeliner, but the last one is illustrated with an eyeliner and eye shadow. Earlier this month, I posted a FAQ post about drawing/illustrating/painting with make up (read it here).  If you have any questions about using make up for painting, crafts or DIY feel free to ask. If you have any personal experience and advice about alternative uses for make up, please share them in the comments. I'm no expert myself, but I've been using make up to paint a lot lately so I wanted to share my experience with you. That is all for today. Thank you for reading.

Danas s vama dijelim četiri ilustracije. Dvije su modne ilustracije, a druge dvije su portreti. Prve tri su ilustrirane samo s tušem (u obliku gela) za oči, a za zadnju sam koristila i tuš i sjenilo za oči. Ranije ovoga mjeseca, napisala sam objavu s čestim pitanjima i odgovorima o slikanju, crtanju i ilustriranju sa šminkom (pročitajte je ovdje).Imate li pitanja o korištenju šminke za slikanje, hobije ili napravi sam projekte, slobodno pitajte. Ako imate neka osobna iskustva i savjete o alternativnom korištenju šminke, molim vas da ih podijelite u komentarima. Nisam ni ja neki stručnjak, ali sam u zadnje vrijeme dosta koristila šminku za slikanje, pa sam htjela podijeliti svoja iskustva s vama. To je sve za danas. Hvala na čitanju.

    It's really cool how you created these artworks with eyeliner. I would imagine it has a different feel and texture from using traditional art media but it also share similar qualities as well. These are lovely!

      yes, the texture is very different and the end result kind of reminds me of charcoal.

    Hello dearest Ivana, I like your drawings! I think I never tried to draw with eyliner (but I remember I painted a picture with eyeshaddow and lipstick when I was a young girl – to demonstrate the colors I’ve bought ;o)) My favourite picture is the last one because it seems to tell a story - you also wrote a text in italian language and drew a landscape with a church – I love such compositions! And I like the dress the girl's wearing!

    Lots of hugs my dear and have a happy time,

    Traude

    Dear Ivana, it is unbelievable how creative you are and that you use even makeup for fantastic illustrations! Love all of them! The eyeliner and the eyeshadow, too, are giving your illustrations a very special touch. Thanks for sharing - it is only a pity I'm not talented for such drawings so I can't use my eyeliners in this context :)

    Wow, dear Ivana, always so talented! I loved all the illustrations, but especially the last one! I like that you are using eyeliners or makeup in general for the illustrations, this is really very creative! And I know you are creative AND talented! A beautiful soul, in fact! I used to use eye shadows in paintings, long time ago, and then spray something to fix the color, but for manu years I haven't use makeup for painting, anymore. You brought that nice memory to me again, thank you so much for sharing these beautiful illustrations! Hope you have a very nice week!

    Mislim da ni profesionalni šminkeri nisu svesni šta se sve može sa šminkom :) Ti si spojila toliko umetnosti i zanata u jedno. Mnogo mi se sviđa kad staviš i neki detalj poput latica ruža u ovom slučaju. Toliko je sve divno da prosto ne znam više kojim rečima da te nahvalim :)

      pa možda i nisu jer je šminkanje na koži i papiru posve drukčije...ja se zapravo divim profesionalnim šminkerima jer rade na neravnom i živom terenu, svako lice je drukčije i uvijek moraju improvizirati.

    Mislim da ovo slikanje šminkom daje dojam nekog spoja ugljena i pastele i izgleda jako lijepo i puno "jače" nego npr. vodene boje ili olovka. Mislim da bi se ti snašla s ugljenom... Talent je neminovan, sada je sve u isprobavanju i eksperimentiranju. Svaka čast, ilustracije su prekrasne! :*

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following ...

KRAVICA WATERFALL I will never forget visiting Kravice waterfalls for the first time. It was an absolutely magical experience.  The Kravica waterfall is sometimes described as a pearl of Herzegovina. It's also called oasis in stone. One can think of many names for it, but the best thing is to go there and see for itself. It's definitely one of the great beautifies of the Herzegovinian landscape. Where can you find this stunning natural waterfall? It's located on the Trebizat River, 7 km away from Ljubuski.  This place of beauty was created by the Trebizat River!

Maxi dress (outfit post) / Duga haljina (odjevna objava)

Image
What says summer more than a maxi dress? You might have another clothing item in mind, but there is no disputing the fact that a nice summer maxi dress is one of the most practical choices when the days get warmer. Besides offering protection from the sun, a good summer maxi dress is easy to layer (and hence to dress up and down) and serves like an infusion of style and effortless chic. In other words.....What is there not to love?  Što više kaže ljeto od duge haljine? Možda imate neki drugi odjevni predmet na pameti, ali ne može se osporiti da je lijepa ljetna duga haljina jedan od najpraktičnijih izbora kada dana postanu topliji. Osim što nam nudi zaštitu od sunca, dobra ljetna haljina se lako nadograđuje (i nosi u dotjeranim i ležernim kombinacijama), a služi kao prava infuzija stila i onog dojma da se niste trudili. Drugim riječima....Što tu ne voljeti? shoes, dress: no name, bag: borsa, shirt:vintage Have you found your ideal summer dress yet? I got t...

WHAT I WORE IN MOSTAR FOR WONDERFULLY WARM AND SUNNY AUTUMN DAYS

 Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Happy Sunday! In this post, I'll share three warm Autumn outfits I wore for strolling around Mostar city. Today is quite cold and cloudy for our Mediterranean standards, so the plan is to stay in and catch up with blogging. I've had a pretty eventful weekend so far. Weekend sometimes seem to just fly by, don't they? We often try to make up for the things we didn't do during the week, especially us ladies. We try to fit in all in- to clean the house, do chores and that sort of things. Sometimes weekends can even be tiring. There are conferences and meetings to attend. Learning how to shut down and rest properly can be a challenge. Life gets busy, and sometimes the older we get, the more busy it becomes. That's why I'm so grateful for these little outings I do, being a tourist in my own city and country- that sort of thing. I sometimes feel like I mastered sustainable and local travel . The challenge is just finding the time to ...

BURGUNDY AND YELLOW OUTFIT IN SPLIT CITY

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll show you an autumn outfit I wore for a seaside stroll with my family in Split city, Croatia. This outfit is another example of me shopping my closet, so you can expect the sustainable fashion files to kick in any minute. This was a very comfortable outfit to wear that also felt very energizing. Probably it was due to colour therapy and all that. Wearing colours often makes me feel better. Mustard yellow and burgundy are the main colours in this look, and I do love these colours together. I dressed in layers, for it was quite windy and fresh despite the warm sun.  As regular readers of my blog know, Split is my home city, and you can find me there very often. In fact, you could say that I live between Split and Mostar. I love Mostar, but I do miss the sea. Is there anything better than seaside in Autumn and Winter? I always love being near the sea, but during the Autumn and Winter when there are hardly any people aroun...

As I believe the best way to learn is through example, so I'll show you multiple ways how to style an olive green blazer. On this little digital place to call my own, I love to show you how you can be more sustainable by shopping your closet.

Besides linking up outfits with this blazer, I'll link up multiple ways to wear other items in my closet. As always, there will be fun collages to help you see the vision- how chic and fun restyling items can be! Olive green can be somewhat of an underrated colour, even if it is trending at the moment. For Autumn/Winter 2024/2025, tonal dressing in olive greens and khakis is right on trend. I'm convinced that when styled right, olive green can look good wi...
