Fashion illustration of the day / Modna ilustracija dana (bikini)


It is certainly not too early to start thinking about beachwear. Spring will be here before we know it. Those of you who follow me on Instagram have already had the chance of seeing this illustration. This olive bikini I illustrated is from Lucy Bea, an  independent designer from USA (check out her site here). She has some cute designs on her page. This fashion illustration was my entry for a giveaway. This was the first time I entered a giveaway of this kind, it was fun. Anyway, the medium is watercolour on paper. Sorry for the quality of images, the lighting conditions haven't been that great, you know rainy days.... That's all for today. Have a lovely weekend!


Svakako nije prerano da počnemo razmišljati o kupaćima. Proljeće će stići ovdje prije nego što se snađemo. Oni od vas koji me prate na Instagramu su već imali priliku vidjeti ovu ilustraciju. Ovaj maslinasti bikini koji sam ilustrirala je od neovisne američke dizajnerice  Lucy Bea (njena stranica ovdje). Ima stvarno slatkih kreacija. Ova modna ilustracija je bila moja prijava za darivanje. Ovo mi je bio prvi put da sam se priključila nekom takvom darivanju. Bilo je zabavno. Uglavnom, medij su vodene boje na papiru. Žao mi je zbog loše kvalitete slika, prirodno svjetlo baš i nije nešto zadnjih dana, kišni dani i tako to....  To bi bilo sve za danas. Ugodan vikend vam želim!

    That is a cute bikini! :) With my post-pregnancy body I can't fit into any of my bikini tops...haha. I'm lucky I have the bikini I wore in pregnancy that still fits. Hopefully once I've stopped breastfeeding I'll be able to get back into my large bikini collection! :)

    Good luck with the competition you drew this for too! :)

    Hope you have a great weekend :)

      I can imagine. I gained some weight recently so I'm not sure how I will fit into my summer bikinis either.

    A wonderful illustration! You so rarely see fashion illustrations of swimwear and/or lingerie and so it's lovely to see your interpretation of this gorgeous olive design. You're quite right too about Spring being just around the corner, meaning Summer is just a stretch away - I can't wait for warmer, sunnier days!!

      you're right! You don't see them that often. I only did one bikini illustration prior to this, my reference being one ad from Calzedonia.

    Ja volim letnje teme u svako doba godine :) Bikini je stvarno presladak! Boja i model su savršeni, a trakice ga čine posebno zanimljivim. Tvoja verzija je fenomenalana! Tako si sve verno prikazala, a uz tvoj prepoznatljiv stil. Mislim da nije lako postići obe karaktersitike ;)

    It's definitely not too early for thinking of bikinis, dear Ivana! And I loved the illustration, and the bikini as well! How fun it is to enter a giveaway with an illustration, that's great! A very good idea! I liked the color, green is a color of hope, of nature, I love it! Hope you have a very beautiful weekend, dear Ivana, full of lovely things! Hugs!

    Lucy Bea has some really great designs. I clicked and noticed she's out of Napa, Cali. We are literally neighbors as she's only an hour away from me. Speaking of Spring, you jinxed it cos it felt just a tad Springy today.I even used the air conditioner today for the first time this year. It'd probably be cold again tomorrow but at least we enjoyed today.

    Another fabulous illustration! I love seeing the inspiration right next to it and you were spot on! Simply amazing Ivana!

    Such a lovely illustrations, and good luck in the giveaway, hun! Hope you win - you deserve it! :D I always stayed away from bikinis, I just never felt comfortable wearing a two piece! I think, this year I might, though. It's all about finding one that suits you best, so I've been hunting for that perfect bikini! <3 xoxo

All your comments mean a lot to me, even the criticism. Naravno da mi puno znači što ste uzeli vrijeme da nešto napišete, pa makar to bila i kritika. Per me le vostre parole sono sempre preziose anche quando si tratta di critiche.

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

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

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.

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

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Welcome November! We'll welcome this new month with a blog review. In this post, I'll share my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper . This post will also be  a reading recommendation because I enjoyed this story a great deal. I've been reading Maugham's The Complete Short Stories for some time now. I've been taking my time with this collection, but I enjoyed it a lot. 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
