FRIDAY FASHION ILLUSTRATION: SPRING VIBES

Hello, how are you doing? Welcome to another Friday Fashion Illustration. I'm continuing with my fashion illustration series even if I'm currently more involved into landscape and portrait painting. Sometimes I'll skip a week but I do try to keep this feature alive. In fact, I skipped it last week because I was on a medically motivated trip to Split, Croatia and just didn't have the time to post. Last Tuesday, however, I returned to Mostar and to my art making work regime. This morning I got up a bit earlier to sketch something nice for today. I found an old photograph of mine and used it as a reference for this fashion illustration. I like to challenge myself and draw different poses. I think it's as a  good way to improve one's fashion illustrating skills as any. I changed the outfit a little bit, though. The floral pink dress from this illustration is a bit shorter than something I would normally wear (unless I'm heading for the beach or something) but I wanted this illustration to convey spring vibes. La vie en rose and that sort of thing. Illustrating florals is always a lot of fun. 


This illustration is drawn in elongated style typical for fashion illustration. I'm not sure will I upload it to my Redbubble shop yet but I do upload most of my illustration stuff there so there is a possibility this fashion sketch will be available as a print soon.  As you will see when you scroll bellow, I sketched this one in one of my larger sketchbooks. I used different brands of coloured pencils (none of them especially fancy). Coloured pencils aren't exactly my medium yet, but I hope to master them some day. Scroll down to see the making of collages  I put together for you (because I know many people like to see work in progress photographs).

Besides sharing my new fashion illustration, today I'm also showing you an outfit in Pantene colours of the year (yellow and gray) that I put on solely for the purpose of this post.  I'm wearing a silk blouse I bought years ago for my grandmother but it didn't suit her, so I kept it for myself and a yellow jumpsuit I got in some collab a long time ago. The boots are from Peko but as their heels are worn out I don't wear them often. I don't remember how long it was since I bought these boots, but it's been a while for sure. Trends come and go, but I'm very partial to anything pointy when it comes to shoes and boots.  Big thanks to my husband for taking these fun photographs. Speaking of thanks, I want to thank you all so much for all of your encouraging comments on my new feature TRAVEL WITH MY ART. I will continue posting location inspired posts and paintings soon enough (in fact you can spy an acrylic landscape painting in the making behind my back if you look carefully). 

Thank you so much for visiting and commenting! Take care and stay safe. I'm joining Nancy's Style Link up and you can join it too. Just head over to Nancy's site for details.

    Such a lovely jumpsuit. When I saw the first illustration I thought you had painted it on the wall..which reminds me of visiting an artist who's entire bathroom was a mural of the jungle in his bathroom. It was a very interesting bathroom. One I will never forget. Possibly I remember it more than actually him.

    Such lovely art pieces. I love how you have used such color, too.

    Adoring your Friday post! Such a great art session! Oh, if it were me I would have to be in an old smock. I am so messy when it comes to any kind of art. Even cooking. Love your outfit!

    I absolutely adore your outfit, Ivana! Pantone colours of the year or not, the yellow floral jumpsuit worn with the grey silk pussy bow blouse is just gorgeous!

    Have you ever tried dates, as in the fruit to help with the iron deficiency? I was just wondering as you mentioned your struggles with iron levels. Perhaps, you do take supplements for it? I also read that it's also good to take vitamin C as it helps with our body's iron absorption. I'm really in love with your outfit as you showed us your painting! It's such a lovely combo: yellow and gray. And those pointy boots totally made the whole look even chicer than usual. Love it! :)

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 ...

KRAVICE WATERFALLS (TOP DESTINATIONS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA) / Slapovi Kravice

Image
KRAVICA WATERFALL I will never forget visiting Kravice waterfalls for the first time. It was an absolutely magical experience.  The Kravica waterfall is sometimes described as a pearl of Herzegovina. It's also called oasis in stone. One can think of many names for it, but the best thing is to go there and see for itself. It's definitely one of the great beautifies of the Herzegovinian landscape. Where can you find this stunning natural waterfall? It's located on the Trebizat River, 7 km away from Ljubuski.  This place of beauty was created by the Trebizat River!

Maxi dress (outfit post) / Duga haljina (odjevna objava)

Image
What says summer more than a maxi dress? You might have another clothing item in mind, but there is no disputing the fact that a nice summer maxi dress is one of the most practical choices when the days get warmer. Besides offering protection from the sun, a good summer maxi dress is easy to layer (and hence to dress up and down) and serves like an infusion of style and effortless chic. In other words.....What is there not to love?  Što više kaže ljeto od duge haljine? Možda imate neki drugi odjevni predmet na pameti, ali ne može se osporiti da je lijepa ljetna duga haljina jedan od najpraktičnijih izbora kada dana postanu topliji. Osim što nam nudi zaštitu od sunca, dobra ljetna haljina se lako nadograđuje (i nosi u dotjeranim i ležernim kombinacijama), a služi kao prava infuzija stila i onog dojma da se niste trudili. Drugim riječima....Što tu ne voljeti? shoes, dress: no name, bag: borsa, shirt:vintage Have you found your ideal summer dress yet? I got t...

WHAT I WORE IN MOSTAR FOR WONDERFULLY WARM AND SUNNY AUTUMN DAYS

Image
 Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Happy Sunday! In this post, I'll share three warm Autumn outfits I wore for strolling around Mostar city. Today is quite cold and cloudy for our Mediterranean standards, so the plan is to stay in and catch up with blogging. I've had a pretty eventful weekend so far. Weekend sometimes seem to just fly by, don't they? We often try to make up for the things we didn't do during the week, especially us ladies. We try to fit in all in- to clean the house, do chores and that sort of things. Sometimes weekends can even be tiring. There are conferences and meetings to attend. Learning how to shut down and rest properly can be a challenge. Life gets busy, and sometimes the older we get, the more busy it becomes. That's why I'm so grateful for these little outings I do, being a tourist in my own city and country- that sort of thing. I sometimes feel like I mastered sustainable and local travel . The challenge is just finding the time to ...

BURGUNDY AND YELLOW OUTFIT IN SPLIT CITY

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll show you an autumn outfit I wore for a seaside stroll with my family in Split city, Croatia. This outfit is another example of me shopping my closet, so you can expect the sustainable fashion files to kick in any minute. This was a very comfortable outfit to wear that also felt very energizing. Probably it was due to colour therapy and all that. Wearing colours often makes me feel better. Mustard yellow and burgundy are the main colours in this look, and I do love these colours together. I dressed in layers, for it was quite windy and fresh despite the warm sun.  As regular readers of my blog know, Split is my home city, and you can find me there very often. In fact, you could say that I live between Split and Mostar. I love Mostar, but I do miss the sea. Is there anything better than seaside in Autumn and Winter? I always love being near the sea, but during the Autumn and Winter when there are hardly any people aroun...

30 PLUS WAYS TO WEAR AN OLIVE BLAZER (SUSTAINABLE FASHION FILES)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, we'll talk some more about  sustainable fashion. As I believe the best way to learn is through example, so I'll show you multiple ways how to style an olive green blazer. On this little digital place to call my own, I love to show you how you can be more sustainable by shopping your closet. The more you love items in your closet and the better care you take of your clothes, you easier you'll find it to shop your closet. So, that's something to keep in mind! Besides linking up outfits with this blazer, I'll link up multiple ways to wear other items in my closet. As always, there will be fun collages to help you see the vision- how chic and fun restyling items can be! Olive green can be somewhat of an underrated colour, even if it is trending at the moment. For Autumn/Winter 2024/2025, tonal dressing in olive greens and khakis is right on trend. I'm convinced that when styled right, olive green can look good wi...
