FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY: INSPIRED BY SUMMER STYLE


Time for another FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY! Today I'll share four fashion illustrations with you. The medium for all these four illustrations is coloured pencils on A4 regular printing paper.  The materials used weren't anything fancy, but I still wanted to share these. I drew two of these sketches without a specific reference. The outfits illustrated were a product of my imagination. However, the other two fashion illustrations were drawn with a reference. I was inspired by two fashion bloggers and I drew the summer outfits they were wearing. The illustrations are drawn in classical proportions, not elongated ones that I often use for fashion sketches. I do draw in different styles, sometimes the choice of style depends on the artistic effect I'm going to and sometimes just on  my mood (especially when I'm not doing anything particulary ambitious). Scroll down to see and read more!

Oggi torno con un nuovo post- Venerdi dedicato alle illustrazione di moda (Fashion Illustration Friday)! Oggi vi mostro le mie nuove illustrazioni di moda (4 illustrazioni in totale). Il medium artistico per tutte le illustrazioni sono le matite colorate su carta da stampa A4. I materiali utilizzati non sono niente di speciale, ma volevo condividerle con voi nonostante. Ho disegnato due di queste illustrazioni senza un riferimento specifico. Gli outfit illustrati sono un prodotto della mia immaginazione. Tuttavia, le altre due illustrazioni di moda ho fatto con un riferimento. Sono stata ispirata da due fashion blogger e ho disegnato due look estivi che indossavano. Le illustrazioni sono disegnate in proporzioni classiche, non allungate (come quelle che uso spesso per le illustrazioni di moda). Disegno in stili diversi, a volte la scelta dello stile dipende dall'effetto artistico che sto cercando di realizzare, ma a volta dipende solo dal mio umore (soprattutto quando non sto facendo qualcosa particolarmente ambizioso). Continua leggere per vedere e sapere di più!


Vrijeme je za još jedan PETAK MODNE ILUSTRACIJE! Danas ću s vama podijeliti četiri modne ilustracije. Medij za sve ove četiri ilustracije su obojene olovke na papiru za redoviti tisak A4. Korišteni materijali nisu bili ništa posebno (u prijevodu jeftin papir i olovke), ali ja ove ilustracije svejedno želim podijeliti. Dvije ove modne skice nacrtala sam bez posebne reference. Ilustrirana odjeća proizvod je moje mašte. Ostale dvije modne ilustracije, međutim, nacrtane su prema fotografijama. Inspirirale su me dvije modne blogerice i crtala sam ljetne kombinacije koje su nosile. Ilustracije su crtane u klasičnim proporcijama, a ne izduženima koje često koristim za modne skice. Radim u različitim stilovima, ponekad izbor stila ovisi o umjetničkom dojmu koju nastojim postići, a ponekad samo o mom raspoloženju (pogotovo kad ne radim ništa posebno ambiciozno). Nastavite čitati da biste saznali više! 

TOP: OLD+ DIY PAINT JOB/ SKIRT: VINTAGE/ HEELS (OLD+ DIY POM POMS) 
These two fashion illustrations display different outfits, but both of them are vivid in colour. The first lady is wearing a purple dress and a green hat (let's call her Charlotte) and the other lady (let's call her Emily) is wearing a voluminous yellow gown. In summer time, I love going for vibrant outfits and illustrating them is just as fun. With the help of editing magic I transported Charlotte and Emily to island Hvar. These ladies are also available as prints in my Redbubble shop. 

Queste due illustrazioni di moda presentano abiti diversi, ma entrambi in colori vivaci. La prima donna indossa un abito viola e un cappello verde (la chiamerò Charlotte) e l'altra donna (la chiamerò Emily) indossa un voluminoso abito giallo. In estate, adoro indossare abiti vivaci e anche illustrarli è divertente. Con l'aiuto della magia (che si chiama il montaggio) ho trasportato Charlotte ed Emily sull'isola di Hvar. Queste donne sono anche disponibili come stampe nel mio negozio Redbubble.

Dvije modne ilustracije koje sam nacrtala prikazuju različite kombinacije, ali obje u živim bojama. Prva dama nosi ljubičastu haljinu i zeleni šešir (nazovimo je Charlotte), a druga dama (nazovimo je Emily) nosi voluminoznu žutu haljinu. U ljetnom vremenu volim nositi živopisnu odjeću, a  ilustrirati ju je jednako je zabavno. Uz pomoć uređivanja čarolije prevezla sam Charlotte i Emily do otoka Hvara. Te su dame također dostupne kao otisci (printovi) u mojoj Redbubble trgovini.

INSPIRED BY SELVAGGIA AND PAOLA- SUMMER STYLE 
Now, we're coming to the 'INSPIRED BY....' part of this post. You see, today I also illustrated two fashion bloggers, Selvaggia from Don't Call Me a Fashion Blogger and Paola from Express Yourself blog. Selvaggia is wearing a black dress and Paola a white one, both of these looks are simply ideal for  summer. I'm still very much into summer, although I have started planning my autumn outfits. I want to enjoy the summer while it lasts and I suppose that is reflected in my illustrations as well. The medium for both of these fashion sketches is also coloured pencils (and a touch of marker). 

Thank would be all for today. If you like these sketches, don't forget to check out my other posts about fashion illustration. INSPIRED BY is a regular feature on my blog and I use it to post my illustrations of other fashion bloggers. As you know, fashion illustration is a big interest of mine.

    You are so creative and artistic, my dear! I wish I could draw like that but alas I can't. It seems that talent has passed me by, although both my Dad, my sister and her daughter are quite talented. My favourite of your illustration must be the first one, the lady wearing that magnificent purple gown and green hat! I just love purple and green together. Oh, and I kept looking at your amazing shoes too! Have the loveliest of weekends, Ivana! xxx

      Thank you. These were my wedding shoes so I'm quite fond of them, I especially like the pom pom detail that I added myself by sewing pom pom material (that I bought in a curtains shop).

    Dear Ivana, all your illustrations are again fantastic and I love that you transported the first two to island Hvar - the perfect location for the wonderful summer looks! And I'm impressed that you post now in 3 languages, wow! Also the inspirations you got from Francesca and Paola are perfectly implemented - these illustrations are adorable, too. Love also the classy late summer look you show today. Today in Bavaria it is super hot, what I honestly like and in the background I hear march musik as today in our neighbour village there is a huge music event :) Happy Sunday, dear Ivana!
    Liebe Grüße, Rena

    Such talent! I especially love seeing the ones where you've gotten your inspiration from an actual person. It's so fun to see how closely you recreate their positions, too. I love the ones where you've cut them out and put them against beautiful backdrops. You're so creative! And your top and skirt are just gorgeous - I love that color blue and I'd love to know where you found that shirt. And those shoes with pom poms - those are so cool!

      The top is a hands me down with some DIY touches ( I painted it myself). I have no idea where it was originally from. The pom poms were a DIY project - a very fun one.

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...

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...

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...
