FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY: GREEN DRESS

Hello dear readers and/or fellow bloggers! How's life treating you? Today I'm back with a fashion illustration depicting a brunette in a green dress. The medium for this illustration is watercolour pencils  (Staedtler brand) on recycled lasagna packaging (yes, really). Obviously this cardboard isn't ideal for art, but I like a good challenge and I like to recycle. The cardboard used for packaging products these days feels plastic but that's the way it is. I gave it a try and it turned out well. I'm actually thinking of using this fashion illustration as a bookmark. Maybe I should gift it to someone. Now, that is what I would call a successfully upcycled bookmark. I also used played a bit with digital effects to make new versions of this fashion illustration. Scroll down to see more of my art process.

DRAWING AND PAINTING WITH WATERCOLOUR PENCILS- THE PROCESS
Bellow you can see two collages I made specifically to show you the process of working with watercolour pencils. As you can see, first I sketched the girl and then I applied water with a brush to turn it into a watercolour illustration. When you work with watercolour pencils, you can always choose to apply more water if you want it to look like a proper watercolour art. You can also apply just a bit of water to keep it looking like an illustration or a sketch. That's the benefit of a watercolour pencils as a medium, you can play with the amount of water you want on your final painting or illustration.

A WATERCOLOUR PENCIL FASHION ILLUSTRATION: DIGITAL RETOUCHING
Bellow you have another collage, but this one shows you how I turned the watercolour pencil fashion illustration into digital art. As typical of me, I used a watercolour brush in Paint 3D program (that I have installed on my computer). I made the background more colourful and then I applied new layers of paint on the illustration itself, being careful not to ruin it. I actually haven't added that much paint digitally, it was more about stressing the colours that were already there.

MY FASHION ILLUSTRATION ON REDBUBBLE
I uploaded this illustration to my Redbubble shop IvanaKada (in its digital version) and choose the format and the design for different products (fun, but so time consuming). Now it is available on a variety of products. You can buy it in a form of stickers, posters,  hardcover journal, art board print etc.

    Oooh I always love seeing how you incorporate fashion into real life pictures!! I really like the tone of the green. Perfect for the weather. I need to learn how to use watercolor pencils! I really like the different touchups that you did. OMG.... The cat in your picture looks exactly like my cat who recently died. That is so crazy. Thanks for sharing this print! Oooh so cute on different outfit renders!

      This tomcat belongs to my landlady. He is a very timid creature, whenever I give him food I have to stay with him because he is to afraid to eat alone. His owner says he has been like that since he has been a kitten- she found him somewhere.

    It's wonderful to see how this fashion illustration developed from your initial sketch to a watercolour illustration and, ultimately, digital art. And I love how you used recycled lasagna packaging! Obviously, it would make a wonderful bookmark, but judging from your redbubble examples, it would lend itself to endless possibilities. I especially love the idea of the face mask! xxx

    Jako mi se sviđa ta nijansa zelene i kako si je kombinirala s ružičastom torbicom. POsebno mi je cool uzorak na maski za lice. Jako lijepo i kreativno.

      Thank you. Yes, he is cute but seems to be afraid of everything the poor thing. He belongs to our landlady, she found him as a kitten and says he has always been this way. Something must have frightened him badly when he was a kitten. :(

    What a fun idea to use leftover packaging for your art, and it turned out so well too, it's fun you can have it made into face masks! They still aren't recommending face masks here unless you are sick so they aren't worn a lot, but in one of our other states there is an outbreak and so they are asking people to wear masks. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we are asked to wear masks in our state!

    Hope that you are having a great weekend :) We had our first birthday party yesterday after the relaxed restrictions and it was so much fun!

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

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

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Welcome November! We'll welcome this new month with a blog review. In this post, I'll share my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper . This post will also be  a reading recommendation because I enjoyed this story a great deal. I've been reading Maugham's The Complete Short Stories for some time now. I've been taking my time with this collection, but I enjoyed it a lot. When I finish this book in its entirely, I'll share a review for all of his stories. Until then, I'll keep posting individual reviews of stories I liked the most. If you want to read Maugham yourself, you can find his collected works online (among other places  on project Gutenberg ) and read them for free.  W. Somerset Maugham is a writer whose subtle use of humour is delightful, but sometimes it's easy to miss it just because it's so subtle. He's wonderful at mixing the harsh realities of life with clever
