FRIDAY FASHION ILLUSTRATION: TWO FEMININE OUTFITS

It's Friday and you know what that means. Time for another Friday Fashion Illustration- a regular feature on my blog where I post my original fashion illustrations. Today I stole half an hour to illustrate something that I actually wore today.  . I have been doing a lot of fine landscape painting lately, so a quick fashion illustration felt almost like a break. So, in a way I took a break from the more ambitious paintings I have been working on lately to draw this simple fashion sketch and some other ones. When I'm in hurry like this, I like to use watercolour pencils because the sketching and the colouring process can be fairy quick. I'm also trying to use reference more (as you might have noticed) in my drawing. Moreover, today I'll share another fashion illustration with you and that one is of an older outfit I wore back here in 2016. Both of these illustrations were drawn with watercolour pencils (from Staedtler)  in one of my larger sketchbooks. Scroll down and have a look!


FASHION ILLUSTRATION #1: ILLUSTRATING A BLACK VINTAGE DRESS- This fashion illustration took less than half an hour to finish. It would have probably taken even less were I not documenting the process. I think the photographs show the art process quite well. Bellow you can also see one of the illustrations I already shared because I drew this one the page. I'm saving paper. :)


OUTFIT INFORMATION: On the photographs you can see me wearing a camel coat. Moreover, there is also a burgundy jacket thrown over my right arm. The plan was to wear the burgundy jacket if I feel too warm in the coat. Do you know what happened? I left both the coat and the jacket in the car, it was so warm today. I just wore this fabulous black vintage wrap dress with metallic silver details (I inherited this dress from my mother). The bag and the boots are from a local store in Mostar called Borsa, not sure about the brands for these two, but this store imports from Italy. I'm actually wearing two pair of tights layered on the other here, one is a burgundy pair and the other is a leopard fishnet pair. If I recall well, both pairs of tights were purchased in Kik store in Stari grad on island Hvar. 




FASHION ILLUSTRATION #2: ILLUSTRATING A SKIRT, TURTLENECK AND A BLAZER LOOK
The second outfit is from the archives. This illustration  is drawn in the elongated style typical of fashion illustration (ten head ratio as opposed to normal eight). It is fun to see my hair a bit shorter in this illustration. I'm typically very boring when it comes to my hair, I never change things up but I suppose that back in 2016, I felt like changing it up. I still have all of the items from this outfit and wear them regularly. I even devoted a special 30 plus wears to this fabulous caramel pair of boots (Peko, local designer edition).

    Your wrap dress is very unique and I think you captured its draping very skillfully. I also love the tights in that outfit and how you styled your hair.
    Once again, I am in awe of your amazing talent in creating these fashion illustrations. I love how you have included the creative process as well. xxx

    Beautiful illustrations as usual Ivana!

    I love your style cause you're always trying to add something different to your proposals, even tho it feels like a very cohesive personal style ;)

    My favorite is the one with the brown blazer, I'd say this one represents you the best with your books in the hand, loved that special touch in this illustration *_*

All your comments mean a lot to me, even the criticism. Naravno da mi puno znači što ste uzeli vrijeme da nešto napišete, pa makar to bila i kritika. Per me le vostre parole sono sempre preziose anche quando si tratta di critiche.

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

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

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.

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

Image
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

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
