INSPIRED BY....BLOGGERS SHANAZ & MARISA

 EN Today it's time for another post in my INSPIRED BY... feature, a regular feature on my blog in which I choose bloggers to illustrate and recommend. Today I'll show you two fashion illustrations, one inspired by Shanaz from Reverie Sanctuary blog and the other by Marisa from Marisa's closet blog. Do visit their blogs, they are both beautiful, stylish and fabulous ladies with a talent for writing. Let's get started!

IT Danas je vrijeme za još jednu objavu mojoj rubrici NADHANUTA S ..., redovnom rubrikom na mom blogu u kojoj biram blogere koji će ih ilustrirati i preporučiti. Danas ću vam pokazati dvije modne ilustracije, jednu nadahnutu sa Shanaz s bloga Reverie Sanctuary, a drugu s Marisom s Marisa's closet bloga. Posjetite njihove blogove, obje su lijepe, elegantne i nevjerojatne dame s talentom za pisanje. Započnimo!

INSPIRED BY....SHANEZ (MAKING OF A FASHION ILLUSTRATION)

MEDIUM: WATERCOLOUR PENCILS ON MIXED MEDIA PAPER

To make this illustration I first sketched the general outline with watercolour pencils and then I added more details, again with watercolour pencils. Finally, I added water with a brush and softened it. The illustration ended up looking a bit unfinished, so I might give it another go when I find time. I cannot say that I'm completely satisfied with it just yet. Bellow you can see a collage of how it was made as well as check out the photo reference I used (from Shanaz's blog obviously).


INSPIRED BY.... MARISA (MAKING OF A FASHION ILLUSTRATION)

MEDIUM: ACRYLIC PAINTS ON MIXED MEDIA PAPER

I ran out of my fancy acrylic paints while painting this one, but I managed to find a small package of less quality acrylics and I used them to complete the painting. As you can see in the collages bellow, my art process was pretty standard. First I illustrated the look with a charcoal pencil and then I started adding more and more layers of acrylic paint until I was happy with the illustrated outfit and the background. Bellow you can see the making of process as well as the photo reference I used.

    How lovely to honour your blogger friends this way! I can see why you were attracted to Shanaz' outfit - the colours are fantastic. I like the soft watercolours in that one. Marisa's picture is much more impressionistic, with its daubs of bolder colour. These are a wonderful way to stretch your artistic muscle, Ivana.

    And of course, YOUR outfit - that marigold yellow sweater is perfect on you (I covet it!), and I adore your funky tights! Have a good day, my friend!

      Thank you Sheila. I actually layered two pair of tights, the burgundy on first and then I wore a pair of leopard ones above them. I did it to be warmer but it also looks cool.

    Marisa ha sempre dei look originali e molto stilosi....ed un sacco di vestiti bellissimi!!!
    Mi piaccciono molto entrambe le illustrazioni, ma la seconda è la mia preferita: i colori e lo sfondo ne fanno quasi un quadro!
    Bravissima Ivana! :)
    Baci!

    Ah, these are beautiful! I do love it when you draw fashion bloggers and I think it is incredibly flattering for them to paint them! I'd definitely wear the red outfit. I look forward to the next ones.

    Isn't it wonderful to inspire and be inspired by fellow bloggers? I'm sure Shanaz and Marisa are both feeling duly honoured.
    Although I'm loving both of your fashion illustrations, my favourite is Marisa's. The colours are amazing and it's got an impressionist feel, which I love.
    Your outfit is gorgeous too, and I can see that your mustard polo neck is fastly becoming a favourite. It looks absolutely fabulous on you! Wishing you a great weekend, Ivana xxx

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

TRAVEL WITH MY ART #40, A VIEW FROM MARINE LUČICA SPLIT (CROATIA)

Image
Hello blog readers and fellow bloggers! It's time for another TRAVEL WITH MY ART post that is another posting in my art series. In this post, I'll share an acrylic painting inspired by a location in Split city, Croatia. I used one of my own photographs as a reference for this painting. The format of this painting is quite small, but I'm pretty content with how it turned out. Furthermore, I might do another version of this painting on a canvas. I will share more details about the location and the painting shortly, but first a few words about why and how I'm sharing it.  As you might know if you read my blog regularly, TRAVEL WITH MY ART is basically a regular feature on my blog where I post my art (paintings & illustration) inspired by different places. I will mostly illustrate and paint places I have visited, but sometimes I will paint based of a photograph a friend has sent me or one that caught my eye. Sometimes I will paint places I would like to visit as opposed

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
