FRIDAY FASHION ILLUSTRATION: FANTASY VIBES (SKETCHES)

 Hi, there! In this post, I'll share some of my fashion illustration sketches. It's nothing too ambitious, basically just a few drawings I made recently.

It's been a while since my last Friday Fashion Illustration.  Fashion Illustration Friday used to be a regular feature on my blog, but the fact that all art posted online automatically gets stolen by AI put me of from posting my art, even sketches.

I still do commissions and sell my art from time to time. I have some commission orders that are waiting for Summer when I'll have more free time.

Art is still a part of my life, I just don't post about it that much. I mean I don't do art full time, but I try to make time for art in my life. Sometimes a five minute sketch is enough to breathe some inspiration into our life.

At the moment, five minutes is sometimes the best I can do.

FRIDAY FASHION ILLUSTRATION: SPRING STYLING 2023


Let's TALK illustration. 
Sometimes I illustrate items that I actually wear.
Sometimes I illustrate my own outfits. 
Sometimes I illustrate other bloggers.
 I HAVE ILLUSTRATED THIS LEATHER JACKET TWICE!  HERE & HERE

 Browsing my archives I realized that I have illustrated this leather jacket at least twice before. Moreover, counting the post today I have illustrated this pair of high brown boots four times! Is it me or am I starting to wear the items I have illustrated more often? Do you think that's possible? Perhaps illustrating them creates a sort of  visual fashion memento in my head. 

 SHOULD YOU USE A REFERENCE WHEN PRACTICING FASHION ILLUSTRATION?

Is reference important? Should I drew with a reference or from imagination? My answer would be that you should do both. When I wrote about ten ways to improve your fashion illustration skills, both drawing with and without reference made my list of tips.  I said that drawing with reference is important because it not only teaches you how to draw what you see but it also teaches you to look and pay attention to details. Similarly, drawing without a reference is important because it teaches you to see with your mind's eye.  Both is important to challenge yourself.

Friday Fashion illustration has been a regular feature one my blog for a long time now. I was late to discover the dangers of AI art theft, so I suppose the damage is done with the art I posted. I will try to be more careful in the future and post less. 


INTERESTING TIPS I FOUND ONLINE FOR PROTECTING YOUR ART AND PHOTOS AGAINST AI

#1 ARTICLE I RECOMMEND:  AN ARTICLE NAMED 'HOW TO PROTECT IMAGES FROM AI ART GENERATORS' 

THIS ONE IS WORTH CHECKING OUT, ESPECIALLY THEIR TIP ABOUT USING A SITE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO CHECK WHETHER YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS OR PAINTINGS HAVE ALREADY BEEN USED TO TRAIN AI?

#2 ARTICLE  I WANT TO RECOMMEND: HOW ARE ARTISTS FIGHTING BACK AGAINST AI ART THAT COPIES THEIR WORKS? 

One thing I especially appreciate about this article is how it introduced me to Glaze. It is a computer program that makes it harder for AI art generators to steal your art by making slight changes in it.  To include a direct quote: "Glaze is a tool to help artists to prevent their artistic styles from being learned and mimicked by new AI-art models such as MidJourney, Stable Diffusion and their variants." source: http://glaze.cs.uchicago.edu/index.html So, I definitely learned something from this article. Another great thing is that a top of the article you can read the summary (perfect if you are in a hurry) but want to see what the article is about: 

# 3 ARTICLE I RECOMMEND:  4 WAYS TO PROTECT YOUR ART- The third article I would like to recommend has a number four in it and I'm all for it. From these four tips, my favourite one is not posting your art on social media. This is not just about AI theft prevention, but about artists' right in general. If you post your art on Instagram, everyone can use it without your permission and just link it to Instagram, Tik Tok or whatever social network you're using. Technically, the content belongs to them.

#4 ARTICLE I RECOMMEND: AI WILL MAKE HUMAN NOVELS OBSOLETE

#5 ARTICLE I RECOMMEND: THIS TOOL COULD PROTECT ARTISTS FROM ART THEFT

ANOTHER ART PROTECTION TOOL I FOUND ONLINE IS ART SHIELD. According to the website it fools the AI art generators into thinking that your art is AI generated as well. 

Direct quote: "ArtShield adds a watermark to your images so they're camouflaged to robot scrapers"


Here are two coloured pencil drawings I did one morning while waiting for my ride to arrive. One is just a quick sketch of a redhead in anime style, while the other is a full body sketch that is giving me fantasy vibes.

A Warrior Lady Fashion Illustration 

Adding some details with the pen to my armoured pencil drawing.

This illustration was actually inspired by one of my own outfits.

    The warrior lady illustration looks so cool especially since it was inspired by one of your own outfits which is also cool!

    I know that Croats are a proud nation with a long and brave warrior history. The tie is named after the Croatian horsemen, whose wives sent them off to war by tying their scarves in the shape of a tie for good luck :) Your photos and illustrations are phenomenal, you always surprise us with something :) You brought us back to ancient history and that's why i thank you

    I missed these beautiful illustrations! I especially love the lady in the red dress and green cape! She fits in with the current Classic Doctor Who episode I am watching as I type- The Time Warrior which is set in the Medieval era! I like the way you made your skirt look like it has an intriguing waistline with the scarf!xx

    Look at you, Warrior Woman! I love the illustrations, but how sad that we have to protect our art from being scraped. Sigh.

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 ...

VISIT SINJ (CROATIA) WITH ME! EXPLORE THE DALMATIAN HIGHLANDS!

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Regular readers of my blog will know that I'm Dalmatian and ' parce mihi Domine,' (as St. Jerome's supposedly used to pray). Dalmatia is one of four historical Croatian regions. When we're talking about coastal regions in Croatia, there are only two: Istria and Dalmatia. Occupying the majority of Croatian seaside, Dalmatia is extremely popular with tourists. Dalmatian coast is quite long, including hundreds of islands, and running from Zadar in the north do Dubrovnik to the south.  However, there's more to Dalmatia than its seaside and islands.  I'm from the seaside myself, a proper sea child and all,  but I love the Dalmatian Highlands. Rich in history and culture, Dalmatia Highlands are unique in many ways. From culinary delicacies to fascinating traditions, from untouched nature to picturesque towns and villages, you'll find much to admire here. Have I blogged about it before? I certainly did. I blogged about the Gr...

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...

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

 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 ...

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...

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...
