a little place to call my own (art and fashion blog)

I've been working with pencil a lot lately. In fact, with all the drawing I've been doing, it has come to the point where my right hand hurts rather badly. Not that it is a serious problem, I'm sure that my hand will recover as soon as I give it some rest. Anyhow, today I'm posting a drawing that I have been working on forever. I was trying to strike a balance between realistic and 'my style'. How did I do? I'm not sure. Some of you said you find the 'painting/drawing process' interesting, so I've decided to include 'before' and 'after' photograph, even if the difference in this case is a subtle one.  S U zadnje vrijeme sam dosta radila s olovkom. Zapravo, uza sve to crtanje došla sam to točke u kojoj me desna ruka poprilično boli. Ne da je to neki ozbiljan problem, sigurna sam da će mi se ruka oporaviti čim ju malo odmorim. Uglavnom, danas objavljujem crtež na kojem sam dugo radila, pokušavajući postići ravnotežu između r...

This illustration has been inspired by Margot from I am every woman blog. The medium is pencil on paper. I really liked this monochrome styling with a touch of tartan print (on the collar and the cuffs of sleeves). How do you like this outfit? Ova ilustracija je nadahnuta Margot s bloga I am every woman . Medij je olovka na papiru.  Jako mi se svidjela ova crno-bijela kombinacija s daškom kariranoga uzorka na ovratniku i krajevima rukava.

If I were ever to give up blogging (and in all honesty I considered it at least a couple of times), I'm pretty sure that I would terribly miss posting my fashion illustrations. I'm especially attached to this Inspired by feature I have been doing regularly (at least once a month) for years. Speaking of which, it's time for another Inspired by ...feature. This pencil drawing was inspired by Barbara from my kind of joy.   This outfit is so cute I just had to illustrate it. Have a lovely day everyone! Kada bi odustala od bloga ( a iskreno razmišljala sam o tome barem par puta), poprilično sam sigurna da bi mi jako nedostajalo objavljivanje svojih modnih ilustracija. Posebno sam vezana za ovu N adahnuta s rubriku koju već godina redovito objavljujem (najmanje jednom mjesečno. Kad smo kod toga,  vrijeme za još jednu Nadahnuta s ...rubriku. Ovaj crtež olovkom je nadahnut s Barbarom s bloga my kind of joy.  Ova kombinacija je tako slatka da sam je morala ilustrirati. Ugoda...

Hi everyone! It's time for another  Inspired by ....post. The medium is acrylic on cardboard. This time I illustrated Tijana from fashion abejita . Painting lace is always a challenge and I'm aware that I have a long way to go when it comes to illustrating fabrics, but all things considering, I think I did pretty well. In fact, I'm quite happy with how this painting turned out. This outfit is a summery one, but it is suitable for Spring as well. Besides, green is in this Spring.  Zdravo svima! Vrijeme je za još jednu Nadahnuta s. ..objavu. Medij su akrilne boje na kartonu. Ovaj put sam naslikala Tijanu sa bloga fashion abejita . Slikati čipku je izazov i znam da imam još puno toga za naučiti kada je ilustriranje tekstila u pitanju, no  kada se sve uzme u obzir, mislim da ova slika nije loše ispala. Zapravo,  poprilično sam zadovoljna s time kako je slika ispala. Ova kombinacija je ljetna, ali zapravo se može nositi i na proljeće. Osim toga, zelena je ...
