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

10 STYLE LESSONS LEARNED FROM MALENA/ MONICA BELLUCCI

Image
With summer being in full spring, I caught myself thinking about iconic summer outfits. Do you know what came to my mind? Costumes/outfits worn by Monica Belluci when she played Malena Scordia in an iconic Italian movie set on Sicily.  The costumes for that movie were designed by an acclaimed Italian costume designer Maurizio Millenotti and he outdone himself! Seeing that Malena is a historical movie, Maurizio choose quite timeless outfits and cuts that will ever go out of style. That fact makes Malena movie the perfect place to look for inspiration! Moreover, I feel that Monica Belluci's personal style is quite similar to Malena's (i.e. to the style of the character she is playing). There is definitely a Mediterranean lady feel about Malena/Monica Bellucci. What says summer better than Mediterranean and Sicily? Today we'll analyze Malena's style and see what we can learn from her. There is much to learn! Having analyzed looks that Monica wore in iconic Malena film, I&

HACKING MONICA BELLUCCI'S STYLE SECRETS

Image
Hello dear readers! Today we'll be hacking Monica Bellucci's style secrets. Monica Bellucci is an Italian actress loved by many designers, including D&G duo and Dior. She is known for having a very feminine style of dressing.  One could definitely call her a style icon. So, why not analyze her style?  In this post, we will  start with identifying the key items in Monica's closet and then we are going to examine them. Finally, we'll hack her style secrets. I already wrote a bit about her style when I analyzed Malena's (character played by Monica Bellucci) wardrobe . The reasons why I have decided to write about her again is because of her timelessly elegant and chic style.  I happen to think Monica Bellucci has a very classical style of dressing that is quite ageless and universally flattering. In fact, you probably already have at least one of Monica's Bellucci key items in your closet.  When we see someone being stylish, we sometimes forget that style can

Jadrolinija ferry ride, travelling from Split to island Hvar (outfit post)

Science proved that life on Earth originated in the sea but in our hearts we must have always felt it. Why otherwise would we feel so inspired by the sea? Who of us has not felt his or her heart opening up while mesmerized by the deep blueness of sea? Is it an echo of an oceanic birth of life? Is it our soul that wanders enchanted towards that greatest mystery? We feel the song of the sea, even when we don't understand it. Znanost je dokazala da je život na Zemlji započeo u moru, ali u našem srcu smo zacijelo to znali. Zašto bi nas more inače tako nadahnjivalo? Tko od nas nije osjetio kako mu se srce otvara dok biješe očaran dubokim plavetnilom mora? Je li to odjek morskog rođenja života?  Je li to naša duša koja luta očarana prema tom krajnjem misteriju? Osjećamo pjesmu mora, čak i kada je ne razumijemo. A SELECTION OF CROATIAN POETRY RIKARD KATALINIĆ JERETOV 1869-1954   Born in Volosko (Istria, Croatia), died in Split.

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

 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
