FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY: A BLUE BOB

Welcome to another Fashion Illustration Friday, a regular feature on my blog. Today I have a quick watercolour pencil sketch to share with you. I sketched this lady with a blue bob without a reference. The medium for this illustration is watercolour pencils  (Staedtler brand, #notsponsored) Scroll down to see the work in progress.  Friday is time for Fashion illustrations!

As you can see, I first sketched it watercolour pencils on mixed media paper from one of my sketchbooks and then I applied some water to it. The result is what you can see bellow. It is basically just a face and a hint of  a pinkish blouse (or perhaps a dress, who knows?).

I uploaded this watercolour sketch to Paint 3D and created a little design on it. I didn't have much time so I just coloured on top on an existing fashion illustration. Some day I might elaborate on it more. Who knows maybe this blue bob lady will inspire some look? This isn't the first time I felt inspired to draw someone with a blue bob, see here for an old watercolour painting of mine.

    Hello Ivana, happy Saturday morning!

    It is so good to wake up and surf through my favorites and finding out another fantastic illustration by you.... great way to start a creative weekend.

    I love how you start with traditional resources and get a little help by digital / 3D. The result looks great, specially the expression and of course the bob, which reminds me of Anna Wintour of course hehe. By the way, those pictures with the flowers are amazing, they are a great prop to shoot with the illustration!

    Happy weekend,
    Pablo

    The illustration looks lovely, you are very talented. Have you considered selling on etsy? It might be a good place for your artwork.

      Yes, I opened a shop there on etsy but I closed it because I didn't sell anything.

    Another look into your creative process, which I love. The lady with the blue bob is no exception, although I do prefer the relative simplicity of your original watercolour pencil sketch! I hope you're having a lovely and relaxing weekend, Ivana! xxx

    Perhaps your blue bob paintings are giving you a signal to get a blue bob hair-do? Heheh. I hope you are well and taking good care of yourself. It's so inspiring to know that you are continuously channeling your creative energy through drawing and painting. I look forward to more! Stay beautiful as always :) xoxo

      I actually often draw girls with a blue bob. I was just thinking how I should make a comic book character out of it.

A BLUE REVIEW OF TIGANA, A FANTASY NOVEL BY GUY GAVRIEL KAY

Image
What kind of a review is a blue review? Well, as the colour would suggest, somewhat of  a  melancholic and sad one.  I would say appropriate for Tigana is somewhat of a sad and serene story. That's how I remember this fascinating fantasy novel by Guy Gavriel Kay. Published in 1990, this fantasy novel that explores identity and politics remains relevant for our times. The Winner of Aurora reward, this novel still has a lot to offer. As the Summer has just given way to Autumn, some of us might be in a somewhat blue, pensive, thoughtful and meditative mood. Simply perfect for a novel like this one. This transitional period is always an interesting one, and I do not just mean the often unpredictable weather forecast. In many ways, this transition between Summer and Autumn can be an inspirational and exciting one. When it comes to fashion and art, we might find inspiration in many ways. Why not use the change of seasons to inspire us, both in sense of fashion and other aspects...

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 ...

Hello everyone and h appy hump day!   How are you doing? I hope you had a lovely week so far. It's been a while since my last Inspired by post, hasn't it? Well, today I'm back with another  Inspired by ... feature.  As some of you know, this is a regular feature on my blog that is all about illustrating bloggers I love and that inspire me. I always say it's one of my favourite features and it truly is. Over the years I had the chance to illustrate many many bloggers and it's always something I enjoy doing. Moreover, I enjoy blog recommendations posts and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I discovered some wonderful bloggers through other bloggers and that's always lovely. This regular feature of mine is  not just about illustrating, it is also a kind of a blog recommendation post, because it gives me a chance to share bloggers I love with you. This time I have illustrated Natalia from @inthewriterscloset.  You can check out her blog  here .  Pozdrav...

WINDHAVEN ( BOOK REVIEW) AND JELSA OUTFITS

Image
Hello, dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I shall share three outfits and a book review. The stunning location for the photographs is Jelsa on island Hvar. I've blogged about this little touristic gem many times and you'll find more links about Jelsa towards the end of the post. Now, about the reading recommendations of the day. I'll be reviewing Windhaven , a science fiction novel by George R.R. Martin and Lisa Turtle. I read this novel years ago, but I still haven't reviewed it on this blog. Better late than never, right?  The outfits I'm sharing are a few transitional looks I wore in September in Jelsa. August and September were eventful months, with the move, job changes and so on. Life always seems to be getting more eventful. I suppose that isn't always a bad thing, is it? Change can be good. The weather has been quite changeable as well, as changeable as you expect transitional weather to be. Sometimes I wanted (and needed) to wear something ...

DOCTOR FISCHER OF GENEVA OR THE BOMB PARTY BY GRAHAM GREENE

Image
In this post, I shall review Doctor Fischer of Geneva or The Bomb Party , a novel by Graham Greene, an English novelist. Published in 1980,   Doctor Fischer of Geneva or The Bomb Party could be described as a psychological thriller. It was adapted to film in 1984, and was at that time the most expensive television film shot in Britain. I have not seen that adaptation, so my review today shall focus solely on the novel. I acquired the copy of this novel in a somewhat secret antique shop in Split (that is basically more of a basement with books, but it is very cool). Having read Green before, my expectations for this novel were high. Were my expectations met? You will find out soon enough. This was my second novel by this writer. The first novel of his that I read was The End of the Affair .  Greene was a prolific novelist, and many of his novels were adapted to screen, starting with Stambul Train that was adapted as Orient Express. The End of the Affair was adapted to fil...
