Inspired by @tijanabejita (fashion drawing of the day)

I'm so happy to share this fashion illustration with you today. Finally a new drawing for my Inspired by feature. This fashion illustration was inspired by lovely @tijanabejita, more precisely by this photograph. The medium is coloured pencils on paper. I've started using coloured pencils a bit more in 2016 and right now I use  both them and regular #pencils pretty often. Do you like this fashion drawing? Do you like the outfit? If you want to see more of these kind of illustrations, you can check my 2017 (here) and 2016 (here) Inspired by recap.






After I finished this drawing, I found a lot of old illustrations of Tijana. I guess I've been illustrating her for a while. Sometimes I'm startled by how many art (illustrations, drawings, sketches and paintings) I own. I'm still trying to find a way to organize it all. I took to using folders to store my illustrations but I still have to figure out a way to organize them better. Anyhow, I completed this drawing back in January but I haven't managed to find the time to post it before. Now I wonder who will be in my February Inspired by feature. Do you have any suggestions?

Below you can see a photograph of two illustrations,  Tijana along side with Idu from fashionably Idu. I was really happy to find this illustration of Idu because I thought I lost it during my move, but fortunately it was not so. I'm still missing one illustration of Idu, so I have to keep looking. Drawings are always fun, I think I wrote about it recently, you know in that post where I described how I learned to enjoy drawing more. Art is like any other skill, you have to work on it to get better. All these years of illustrating and I'm still learning new things.

Thank you for reading guys! I haven't posted for a few days and the reason is kind of funny- I wasn't happy with any of my (already prepared) posts. I tend to schedule posts in advance and there were quite a few posts I wanted to share, but somehow neither of them felt right so I didn't post anything. Today I remembered I haven't posted this illustration yet so I went with that. I hope you'll like it. Have a lovely day! Have a fantastic Monday!

    Gorgeous art as always, my lovely! You have a beautiful collection of your illustrations, it would be amazing if you could display and show them all off somehow! My partner draws from time to time and we usually pin his work to a little board on the wall - he gets shy about it, but hey! Also, I have always enjoyed working in coloured pencils. Somehow I felt like I had more control when drawing with pencils than using something like watercolours, etc. Thank you for sharing, beaut! xoxo

      Displaying it on a little board is a fun idea, I used to do that but I don't remember where my board is right now. I still haven't fixed up my office room.

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

10 STYLE LESSONS LEARNED FROM MALENA/ MONICA BELLUCCI

Image
With summer being in full spring, I caught myself thinking about iconic summer outfits. Do you know what came to my mind? Costumes/outfits worn by Monica Belluci when she played Malena Scordia in an iconic Italian movie set on Sicily.  The costumes for that movie were designed by an acclaimed Italian costume designer Maurizio Millenotti and he outdone himself! Seeing that Malena is a historical movie, Maurizio choose quite timeless outfits and cuts that will ever go out of style. That fact makes Malena movie the perfect place to look for inspiration! Moreover, I feel that Monica Belluci's personal style is quite similar to Malena's (i.e. to the style of the character she is playing). There is definitely a Mediterranean lady feel about Malena/Monica Bellucci. What says summer better than Mediterranean and Sicily? Today we'll analyze Malena's style and see what we can learn from her. There is much to learn! Having analyzed looks that Monica wore in iconic Malena film, I&

HACKING MONICA BELLUCCI'S STYLE SECRETS

Image
Hello dear readers! Today we'll be hacking Monica Bellucci's style secrets. Monica Bellucci is an Italian actress loved by many designers, including D&G duo and Dior. She is known for having a very feminine style of dressing.  One could definitely call her a style icon. So, why not analyze her style?  In this post, we will  start with identifying the key items in Monica's closet and then we are going to examine them. Finally, we'll hack her style secrets. I already wrote a bit about her style when I analyzed Malena's (character played by Monica Bellucci) wardrobe . The reasons why I have decided to write about her again is because of her timelessly elegant and chic style.  I happen to think Monica Bellucci has a very classical style of dressing that is quite ageless and universally flattering. In fact, you probably already have at least one of Monica's Bellucci key items in your closet.  When we see someone being stylish, we sometimes forget that style can

Jadrolinija ferry ride, travelling from Split to island Hvar (outfit post)

Image
Science proved that life on Earth originated in the sea but in our hearts we must have always felt it. Why otherwise would we feel so inspired by the sea? Who of us has not felt his or her heart opening up while mesmerized by the deep blueness of sea? Is it an echo of an oceanic birth of life? Is it our soul that wanders enchanted towards that greatest mystery? We feel the song of the sea, even when we don't understand it. Znanost je dokazala da je život na Zemlji započeo u moru, ali u našem srcu smo zacijelo to znali. Zašto bi nas more inače tako nadahnjivalo? Tko od nas nije osjetio kako mu se srce otvara dok biješe očaran dubokim plavetnilom mora? Je li to odjek morskog rođenja života?  Je li to naša duša koja luta očarana prema tom krajnjem misteriju? Osjećamo pjesmu mora, čak i kada je ne razumijemo. A SELECTION OF CROATIAN POETRY RIKARD KATALINIĆ JERETOV 1869-1954   Born in Volosko (Istria, Croatia), died in Split.

TRAVEL WITH MY ART #39- STJEPAN FORTRESS BLAGAJ (BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share another destination painting of mine. You know what that means- it's time for another TRAVEL WITH MY ART post! Today I'm taking you to Herzeg Stjepan Kosaca fortress. This stunning historical fortress overlooking Blagaj in Bosnia and Herzegovina is a sight to behold. Trying to capture its magical beauty in a painting was a challenge!  The medium for this painting is acrylic paints on cotton canvas. The painting process was actually quite long and tedious. I've worked on this painting since Autumn and I only finished it towards the end of Summer. I rushed the painting towards the end, because I wanted to participate in the joint artist exhibition. There was a submission deadline to meet, so I submitted this canvas not feeling confident it's actually finished. If you happen to visit Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina, you'll be able to see my painting hanging in the Stjepan Kosača gallery for the next
