Fashion illustration of the day (winter trend report: green)

 I like making fashion illustrations like this one, those in which I include both a full body and a close up. These take a bit more time to make, but they are worth it. I like the idea of being able to illustrate the hair do and make up as well. The girls I illustrate don't wear that much make up (mostly just a lipstick, blush and mascara) but I like the idea of make up being a part of an outfit. I'm not exactly the most creative person when it comes to make up, but I don't avoid it in my illustrations. Anyhow, when you're doing a typical fashion illustration, you don't really get to show that much detail. I suppose it all depends on what one wants to convey. A lot of time fashion illustrators don't even paint faces and that's fine. As I said, it all depends on the purpose behind the illustration itself. Considering that I draw and paint fashion illustrations for myself, I don't have to follow any rules and I can focus on the details if that is what makes me happy. For example, the girl on this illustration wars a dark pink nail-polish. I like to illustrate details like that one. The medium is watercolour on paper.

 What follows bellow is another illustrated outfit proposal that I shared recently. I will include it here as well because it is relevant to the theme of this post. This fashion illustration is a bit different, because I used more pencil (I didn't originally even plan to colour it with watercolours but I changed my mind). Anyhow, here I illustrated a girl wearing a green skirt. The colour scheme is also different, more toned down (blue and black paired with green) so if you're not into colourful looks, you might try wearing something like this. It is all about finding in what you feel most comfortable in. I personally really like this green trend. I feel like embracing it in every way possible, opting for tones ranging from olive green to neon green. Truth be told,  green has been a part of my wardrobe for a long time, so naturally it is a lot of fun to see it become a trend. When something becomes a trend, it is always fascinating to observe it evolve, don't you think?

A few more words about this illustrated outfit. Here we have a girl wearing a bright green coat with dark green details. I really like this trend of coats in all colours. It's great that we don't have to stick with traditional black anymore, not unless we really want to. So, why not try out a green coat? Yesterday I showed you my new dark pink coat (here). I don't own a green coat yet, but I'm tempted to get one. The rest of the outfit is all about layering. A purple turtleneck paired with a pink vest and a pink skirt, finished off with a pair of purple high heels. I know that's a lot of colour, but some people (like yours truly ) do love colour. I don't know if you can tell but the blonde on this illustration is also wearing tights. I always wear tights in Winter. I'm not one of those brave souls who don't wear tights or socks even in Winter. I mean kudos to you, if you can pull it out but it's not for me. Where I live it doesn't even get that cold and this Winter, in particular, has been quite warm but I do usually pair my skirts and dresses with tights and/or leggings.

    Hey Ivana, hope your Monday is up good :D

    I always like to get inspired by the stories your illustrations tell. I love both but I would say the first one is my favorite one due to the outfit and the elegance and strong personality the girl portraits (didn't realize the make stuff at the first glance so I had to take a second look, YOU'RE RIGHT! Then I realized my illustrations never wear too much make up too, just a pop of red lipstick that in my opinion puts a lot of personality but that's all :) ).

    Have a good weekend and I'll visit soon :D

    I love the fact, that like you said, you don't have to follow any rules - this is something you enjoy doing, and that's the main thing! Love the close up details, Ivana! p.s. Happy new year!!!

    I love green and for winter, even better! I loved the illustrations, dear Ivana, and the second resonates with me, since I am such a fan of crossbody bags! I have a green coat more or less the same shade as the green you painted. And by the way, I agree with you, sometimes some details are not important in fashion illustration! Wishing you a lovely week, dear Ivana, with a lot of inspiration!

    Molto belle entrambe le illustrazioni, della prima mi piace moltissimo l'abbinamento di colori, mentre della seconda adoro il look, quello è il tipo di outfit che metterei senza batter ciglio!
    E sono d'accordo con te, Ivana, quando disegni dovresti sempre fare quello che ti senti senza dar troppo peso a regole ed opinioni altrui! :)
    Baci!

    I can understand why you like to incorporate makeup into your fashion illustrations, beauty is such an important factor when it comes to style, after all! The eyes and lips you draw are so beautiful and glamorous. I hope this new week has started beautifully for you so far Ivana! :)

    Both outfits look so stylish. I like that you don't follow any specific rules with your illustrations and just go with the flow with how you feel when you're creating them.

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

Image
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. Learn how to stay away from the big shoppin

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

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

Image
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!

Image
 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
