Summer Isn't Over Yet! My New Fashion Illustrations: Red Dresses For Summer Filled With Love!

Good morning lovely readers! Today post will be short and sweet because it's Friday and that means that weekend is ahead of us. I have prepared two new fashion illustrations to share with you today. In addition, I'll also show you some new design creations. I sometimes use my fashion illustration to design different items and things, I think fashion illustrations look particularly good as prints on clothes and bags. 


1/ 2





These two pencils drawings are new! They capture the summer feeling, because if you ask me, summer isn't over yet. As you may know, I'm trying to get back into drawing fashion illustration. A few days ago, I published another Inspired by feature and today I'll show you two fashion drawings. I drew both of them with coloured pencils. Both of them are illustrations of red dresses. If you want to see more of my illustrations of red dresses, you can check out this post.  For reference, I used two of my own photographs, but I changed up the looks a bit. 


The making of 'Girl reading on the beach' drawing

If you scroll down, you'll see the making of process. I drew this fashion illustration quite quickly. I can tell you I really missed making art! I'm fond of drawing girls that read, possibly because I'm a book worm myself. I took inspiration from this look, but I changed the background. Perhaps I choose beach for a location because of the fact that I haven't had a single beach day this summer. But, there is still time! Summer isn't over yet, right guys? If nothing else, I can always enjoy the banks of Neretva river. Anyhow, the girl I illustrated is wearing a crayon red dress and an oversize hat. I feel like crayon red is such a big trend this year. Do you like wearing red?

Red Midi Dress Fashion Illustration

The other illustration I drew was inspired by an outfit that I actually wore. Maybe you remember it, maybe not, but it's one of my fav looks this Summer (so far anyway)! I can't wait to wear this dress again. When you find a dress that you can't wait to wear again, you know that you have a keeper, right? What is better than ruffles, right? I even illustrate ruffles very often and let me tell you ruffles are not the easiest thing to draw. I don't mean they're incredibly hard, but it is one of those things you need to work on to get right. We'll speak more about it in future post. I'm thinking of writing a- How to improve your fashion illustrations post. What do you think about that?

What is interesting about this illustration is that I illustrated an outfit that features a tote bag with a print of my fashion illustration. So, basically I have drawn a fashion illustration that includes another fashion illustration of mine- but that one is printed on bag. Since I decided to make this illustration available for purchase in my Redbubble & Zazzle online shops, that means that I might order a t-shirt or a bag of my fashion illustration wearing my fashion illustration. It's kind of funny, isn't it?

When it comes to fashion illustrations, I'm always trying to improve my skills. I hope I'm finally getting somewhere. As I explained a few times, fashion illustration is a field that has always interested me. I mentioned a few days ago how I started a new  course. Rena  from Dressed With Soul guessed correctly that I have signed up for a sewing course. In fact,  I have started a fashion design and sewing course with one local fashion designer. I will let you know more in the future. Hopefully, this means that I will be able to turn some of my fashion designs and fashion illustration to life! Imagine how fabulous that would be!

      A turquise necklace goes so well with this kind of dress, doesn't it?

    Davvero belle queste illustrazioni Ivana!
    Mi piace moltissimo soprattutto la prima, quella della ragazza che legge, trovo perfetto il contrasto tra il rosso del vestito e l'azzurro dello sfondo, richiamano estate e relax!
    bellissimo anche l'abito con le rose!
    Bravissima tesoro! :)
    Baci!

    I always admire your artistic prowess Ivana dear! You're making me miss summer even more! Good thing that I will be in a beach a day from now with my coworkers. And oh, a red dress is one of the perfect things one can have during summer <3
    I love that tote bag with your illustration a lot!

    love lots,

    Oh my! I'm excited for you to get your designs on clothing and accessories. That would be awesome. And congrats on signing up on a sewing course. That is an adventure! I had an aunt who used to be a tailor - She passed away a few years back, and I think to be able to sew clothes and tailor everything to fit a body is an art. We all have different sizes after all. I did go to a tailor a few months back for a fitting and boy, was I amazed by what a need and thread can do! He did everything using an old sewing machine and also manually by hand. I hope you are having fun learning there and never stop illustrating as you have the fire! :) 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 ...

KRAVICE WATERFALLS (TOP DESTINATIONS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA) / Slapovi Kravice

Image
KRAVICA WATERFALL I will never forget visiting Kravice waterfalls for the first time. It was an absolutely magical experience.  The Kravica waterfall is sometimes described as a pearl of Herzegovina. It's also called oasis in stone. One can think of many names for it, but the best thing is to go there and see for itself. It's definitely one of the great beautifies of the Herzegovinian landscape. Where can you find this stunning natural waterfall? It's located on the Trebizat River, 7 km away from Ljubuski.  This place of beauty was created by the Trebizat River!

Maxi dress (outfit post) / Duga haljina (odjevna objava)

Image
What says summer more than a maxi dress? You might have another clothing item in mind, but there is no disputing the fact that a nice summer maxi dress is one of the most practical choices when the days get warmer. Besides offering protection from the sun, a good summer maxi dress is easy to layer (and hence to dress up and down) and serves like an infusion of style and effortless chic. In other words.....What is there not to love?  Što više kaže ljeto od duge haljine? Možda imate neki drugi odjevni predmet na pameti, ali ne može se osporiti da je lijepa ljetna duga haljina jedan od najpraktičnijih izbora kada dana postanu topliji. Osim što nam nudi zaštitu od sunca, dobra ljetna haljina se lako nadograđuje (i nosi u dotjeranim i ležernim kombinacijama), a služi kao prava infuzija stila i onog dojma da se niste trudili. Drugim riječima....Što tu ne voljeti? shoes, dress: no name, bag: borsa, shirt:vintage Have you found your ideal summer dress yet? I got t...

WHAT I WORE IN MOSTAR FOR WONDERFULLY WARM AND SUNNY AUTUMN DAYS

Image
 Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Happy Sunday! In this post, I'll share three warm Autumn outfits I wore for strolling around Mostar city. Today is quite cold and cloudy for our Mediterranean standards, so the plan is to stay in and catch up with blogging. I've had a pretty eventful weekend so far. Weekend sometimes seem to just fly by, don't they? We often try to make up for the things we didn't do during the week, especially us ladies. We try to fit in all in- to clean the house, do chores and that sort of things. Sometimes weekends can even be tiring. There are conferences and meetings to attend. Learning how to shut down and rest properly can be a challenge. Life gets busy, and sometimes the older we get, the more busy it becomes. That's why I'm so grateful for these little outings I do, being a tourist in my own city and country- that sort of thing. I sometimes feel like I mastered sustainable and local travel . The challenge is just finding the time to ...

BURGUNDY AND YELLOW OUTFIT IN SPLIT CITY

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll show you an autumn outfit I wore for a seaside stroll with my family in Split city, Croatia. This outfit is another example of me shopping my closet, so you can expect the sustainable fashion files to kick in any minute. This was a very comfortable outfit to wear that also felt very energizing. Probably it was due to colour therapy and all that. Wearing colours often makes me feel better. Mustard yellow and burgundy are the main colours in this look, and I do love these colours together. I dressed in layers, for it was quite windy and fresh despite the warm sun.  As regular readers of my blog know, Split is my home city, and you can find me there very often. In fact, you could say that I live between Split and Mostar. I love Mostar, but I do miss the sea. Is there anything better than seaside in Autumn and Winter? I always love being near the sea, but during the Autumn and Winter when there are hardly any people aroun...

30 PLUS WAYS TO WEAR AN OLIVE BLAZER (SUSTAINABLE FASHION FILES)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, we'll talk some more about  sustainable fashion. As I believe the best way to learn is through example, so I'll show you multiple ways how to style an olive green blazer. On this little digital place to call my own, I love to show you how you can be more sustainable by shopping your closet. The more you love items in your closet and the better care you take of your clothes, you easier you'll find it to shop your closet. So, that's something to keep in mind! Besides linking up outfits with this blazer, I'll link up multiple ways to wear other items in my closet. As always, there will be fun collages to help you see the vision- how chic and fun restyling items can be! Olive green can be somewhat of an underrated colour, even if it is trending at the moment. For Autumn/Winter 2024/2025, tonal dressing in olive greens and khakis is right on trend. I'm convinced that when styled right, olive green can look good wi...
