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.

    Amazing my lady love. You are so very talented. Its always so very interesting and intriguing to stop by here and see what you're doing. I'm amazed each time. I love the way you used the pretty flower to add both depth and color! Great job dear.

    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 two main timelines, one set in moder

SUPPORTING LOCAL DESIGNERS IN MOSTAR: TRANSITIONAL AUTUMN STYLING WITH OZZ BRAND

Hello readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share two transitional outfits featuring a lilac skirt from fashion designer Stanka Zovko. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've probably seen this skirt before. Afterall, I'm really good at shopping my closet. I've been wearing this lilac skirt a lot in the past few months. It's also a great piece for transitional weather because it can be easily layered, or dressed up and down.  Supporting local designers and artisans is certainly something that pays off in the long run. If you want to own unique pieces and at the same time, support your local community, you should really explore shopping local, or commissioning local artisans and designers.  Sustainability in fashion is a big topic nowadays! However, sometimes I feel like people make it more complicated than it really is. We should go back to our origins. Explore vintage, second hand and local shopping.

FORGIVENESS DAY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (BOOK REVIEW AND AN AUTUMN STYLING)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you today? I'm back with another Ursula K. Le Guin book review. In this post, I'll review " Forgiveness Day" , a science fiction novella that is a part of the Hainish Circle. Published in 1995, "Forgiveness Day " won multiple awards. This novella is often published together with her other novellas from the Hainish Circle, and it can be find in various editions of Four Ways to Forgiveness and Five Ways to Forgiveness.   Thematically, this novella is a part of five stories featuring two Hainish planets, but it can definitely be read on its own. I think it functions well as a stand alone novella. I listened to it in audio form, and I didn't have any problems following the story.  The world building is simple and effective. The author fills us in about the history of the two planets as the story enfolds. For such a short work of prose, this novella is really impressive in that it manages to explore the theme o

MALTA HIKING TALES (PART FIVE) GHAJN TUFFIEFA AND QUARABBA BAY

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! I'm back with another Malta themed post. Recently I posted a painting inspired by Malta. As some of you might remember, I visited Malta a few years ago, but I only blogged about it last April, when I published a series of post on Malta. My series about Malta isn't finished, though. In fact, today we're going to continue it. Considering my stay on Malta was two weeks long, it deserves more than a couple of posts. There is a lot to see and do on Malta. It's a small island, but one that's filled with so much life and beauty. Although Malta faces some problems caused by fast tourism, it remains an unique and magical island.  In this post, I'll take you to the bays I visited while hiking on Malta. One of them (Ghajn Tuffieha Bay) is the one I painted. You can visit that post by clicking on the link below: TRAVEL WITH MY ART #43, GHAJN TUFFIEHA BAY, MALTA LET'S START WITH THE GOLDEN BAY We actually didn't go all the way

When I finish this book in its entirely, I'll share a review for all of his stories. Until then, I'll keep posting individual reviews of stories I liked the most. If you want to read Maugham yourself, you can find his collected works online (among other places  on project Gutenberg ) and read them for free.  W. Somerset Maugham is a writer whose subtle use of humour is delightful, but sometimes it's easy to miss it just because it's so subtle. He's wonderful at mixing the harsh realities of life with clever

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! It's almost ten. I've had a long week and I'm quite tired and sleepy. However, I'll try to wrap this post up for you tonight. What kind of post? Well, a post about art. Fashion art to be more precise.  I've been on a roll lately with my art posts. After a period of not posting my art at all, due to a variety of reasons, I started posting my art in every post. I got back to my destination art series, and now it's time for another post in my fashion art series. Friday Fashion Illustration  is somewhat of a regular feature on my blog. Today I'll share two watercolour pencil fashion illustrations of mine. I sketched both of them this Summer in my A3 mixed media sketchbook. I sketched the long yellow dress first, and then the blue and read one. The medium for both of them is watercolour pencils on paper, the same brand I always use. I find watercolour pencils to be quite practical, especially for sketching. I often use the
