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

    I like this hair color - black with a blue glow.

    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.

Les Miserables (outfit post+ book recommendation/ odjevna objava+ preporuka knjige)

Image
I honestly don't remember when I enjoyed a novel as much as Les Miserable s by Victor Hugo and that, taken the fact that literature is a huge part of my life, is saying a lot. I loved absolutely everything about it, not just the characters and the story but also those parts that were historical and philosophical. This is a true classic and I good reminder to myself why it is always a good idea to get back to the classics. Now, about the outfit. Cat ears that I'm wearing started out as a necklace, worked part time as a belt and a bracelet, but you know how it is with jewellery I make, I always find new uses for it. Sometimes I think about the different function in the process of designing my pieces, but sometimes I get ideas as time goes up. This necklace I'm wearing is also my creation. Iskreno se ne sjećam kada sam uživala u nekom romanu tako kao u Jadnicima Victora Huga i to nije mala stvar za reći, s obzirom na to koliko je prostora u mom životu posvećeno baš knjiže...

VISIT NATIONAL PARK KRKA WITH ME!

Image
Krka National Park is a vast protected natural area located near Šibenik town. It covers a natural area of 109 km². Encompassing the most stunning sections of beautiful Krka river, this national park has a lot to offer. Krka national park is a wonderfully preserved natural area of exceptional ecological value. The ecosystems of Krka river are fully preserved here.  This natural park is open for tourist visits and is quite a popular destination.  I have first visited it as a kid, on an organized school trip and I remember being mesmerized by its beauty. This summer I visited it with my significant other. Scroll down to see  and read more. We arrived to Krka in the morning hours (but not too early, I remember that it was already hot). We bought the tickets, hiked down to the river and then we saw the museum and the stone houses, had a cup of coffee in one of the restaurants, took some photos and agreed on where to go. I wanted us to hike the park following the pathway so we...

A RED DRESS FOR A DINNER DATE AT RESTAURANT ASIA ( SPLIT, CROATIA)

Image
If you know me, you know that I'll grab every opportunity to don on a statement dress. Life is to short to wear boring dresses. Nothing is quite as dramatic as a statement red dress, am I right or what? I was planning on walking miles that night, so I paired my red dress with comfy shoes, a straw bag and a pink blazer (just in case if it gets windy). I'm a fan of wearing dramatic dresses with comfy shoes, it makes them stand out more- and it can make the outfit not only more comfortable but also fresh. I wore this red midi dress with ruffled sleeves for a date night in Chinese restaurant Asia in Split ( HERE - one of my favourite places to grab Chinese food in the city). I had a lovely time dinning there with my significant  other. I pretty much always order the same thing: home made noodles with veggies and dumplings. As always, the food was yummy. This restaurant is located in my old neighbourhood Split 3 (address: street Poljička cesta 39 ) and I definitely recommend paying...

READING UPDATE: LONDON, CERVANTES, LE CARRE AND ESQUIEVL

Image
Today I'll share with you a reading update. If you know me, you know that I adore reading. So, here are some of the books that I read in April. Some of these authors were new to me, some I have read before. I was planning to do an April reading recap, but I read so many books it is probably better to break these reviews in a couple of post. My reading goal for this year is 100 books. If you want to know how to read more, check out my 7 reading strategies that will transform you into a reader. LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE, A NOVEL BY LAURA ESQUIVEL 4/5 This was my first novel by Laura Esquivel. I've been eyeing this book for a while. When I read a recommendation for Like Water for Chocolate written by a fellow blogger, I decided that I better buy it while I can.  “Each of us is born with a box of matches inside us but we can't strike them all by ourselves; we need oxygen and a candle to help. In this case, the oxygen for example, would come from the breath ...

WHAT I WEAR ON THE GO: FIVE TRAVEL FRIENDLY OUTFITS

Image
 According to the calendar, the summer has officially ended (Well, not really. I was corrected by Sheila , when I was writing this post there was still a week of summer ahead). As happy I am that Autumn is (almost) here, I'm still not ready to let summer go. I'm looking forward to Autumn season and I'm really happy and excited about the whole #backtoschool thing. Seriously, isn't it wonderful that the school has finally started?  However, at the same time, I want the summer feeling to linger. I want to keep onto those summer vibes. Do you sometimes feel like that? I plan to continue to travel locally whenever I can. If you're sorry to see summer go, remember there are always ways to keep summer with you. For example, you can try to incorporate some of your summer or vacation habits into your daily routine: go swimming at a local pool if you don't have sea near you and etc. If you saved your vacation time for now, lucky you. I honestly think this is best time to ...
