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!

    This is one of my favorite series that you do! Another lovely illustration. I agree that it's better not to post if you're not completely satisfied with with your content.

    Super si napravila ovu ilustraciju. Baš izgleda zamrznuta u trenutku.

    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.

    Both are beautiful! I know Idu! What a beautiful illustration of her. I always love the movement in your illustrations. Very pretty.

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

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

TRAVEL WITH MY ART #40, A VIEW FROM MARINE LUČICA SPLIT (CROATIA)

Image
Hello blog readers and fellow bloggers! It's time for another TRAVEL WITH MY ART post that is another posting in my art series. In this post, I'll share an acrylic painting inspired by a location in Split city, Croatia. I used one of my own photographs as a reference for this painting. The format of this painting is quite small, but I'm pretty content with how it turned out. Furthermore, I might do another version of this painting on a canvas. I will share more details about the location and the painting shortly, but first a few words about why and how I'm sharing it.  As you might know if you read my blog regularly, TRAVEL WITH MY ART is basically a regular feature on my blog where I post my art (paintings & illustration) inspired by different places. I will mostly illustrate and paint places I have visited, but sometimes I will paint based of a photograph a friend has sent me or one that caught my eye. Sometimes I will paint places I would like to visit as opposed

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
