NEW FASHION ILLUSTRATIONS: PINK AND GREEN COLOUR PALETTE


Lately I've been feeling inspired by pink and green colour palette (remember my post about creative projects to try?), and this got reflected in my fashion sketches. If you're feeling these colours yourself, you might enjoy what I've prepared for you today and that would be some illustrated outfit ideas. I might even prepare an illustrated guide to wearing pink and green in the future. Today I'll just show you my newest fashion drawings, but if you'd be interested in seeing something like an illustrated guide to wearing some colour, let me know. It's not always easy to find time, but when you love something, you make time for it. The medium for all the fashion illustrations I'll be sharing today is coloured pencils on papers. My illustrations will also be presented with my photography. Scroll down to see and read more. 


MAXI DRESSES FOR SPRING


Let's start with maxi dresses for spring, shall we? My two outfit proposals for maxi dresses both come in two colours: pink and greet. In the first outfit, I illustrated a green maxi with a pink jacket and in the second, I illustrated a pink maxi dress with a long green vest. I do have one green vest and I wear it pretty often, so it is possible this was my inspiration for this fashion sketch. How do you like these illustrations? I liked the so much I've put them on products in my redbubble shop.

 A LONG PINK DRESS WITH A HIGH SLIT 

Here is another spring outfit in pink. I sketched this long pink dress with a high slit having in mind something I'd like to wear myself. Who knows maybe I will even turn this dress into a reality some day? Scroll down to see a few more photographs of the 'making off' process. 

 




A SHEER GREEN DRESS

The outfit I illustrated bellow shows an off shoulder sheer green maxi dress worn with a pair of jeans. I think this could be such a fun outfit for spring. Sheer items always add a visual interest to an outfit and if you don't want to show too much skin, there are always ways to go around it. That's what I hoped to show with this fashion illustration. Besides, wearing dresses with jeans is always fun, isn't it? 



A PINK DRESS WITH WITH GREEN DETAILS 

Bellow is another illustrated outfit in the pink and green palette. I illustrated a pink dress that comes with a green belt and green details at top. I also drew some green illustrations to go along with this design. The medium is the same as with all the other illustrations, coloured pencils on papir. I'm not sure am I feeling these colours pencils, they're not as pigmented as I like but sometimes it is good to work with bad art supplies.



Do you like the combination of green and pink? Have you tried wearing it? Do you like these two colours on their own? Well, that's enough questions for one day. Thank you for giving my fashion sketches a look. Have a lovely day!

    The pink and green are so pretty and vibrant together! I would wear them together. The print looks great on a toss pillow. The off shoulder green dress is gorgeous with jeans.

    Pink and green sounds like you're ready for spring! I love how you would incorporate your art into real life photos. They look really cool! You do a great job with drawing these models out.

      I'm not certified, I learned fashion illustration watching YouTube videos. From English ones, I can recommend Zoe Hong, she is a great teacher, a designer and a fashion illustrator.

    Your illustrations are beautiful. I especially like the ones where you combined pink and green. It's such an unusual color combination, but it looks beautiful. I always love to see your illustrations.

    I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

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 ...

VISIT SINJ (CROATIA) WITH ME! EXPLORE THE DALMATIAN HIGHLANDS!

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Regular readers of my blog will know that I'm Dalmatian and ' parce mihi Domine,' (as St. Jerome's supposedly used to pray). Dalmatia is one of four historical Croatian regions. When we're talking about coastal regions in Croatia, there are only two: Istria and Dalmatia. Occupying the majority of Croatian seaside, Dalmatia is extremely popular with tourists. Dalmatian coast is quite long, including hundreds of islands, and running from Zadar in the north do Dubrovnik to the south.  However, there's more to Dalmatia than its seaside and islands.  I'm from the seaside myself, a proper sea child and all,  but I love the Dalmatian Highlands. Rich in history and culture, Dalmatia Highlands are unique in many ways. From culinary delicacies to fascinating traditions, from untouched nature to picturesque towns and villages, you'll find much to admire here. Have I blogged about it before? I certainly did. I blogged about the Gr...

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...

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...

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...
