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

Well, this is somewhat different than what I usually share with you in my Inspired by feature. As you know if you a follower (even a recent one), in this feature I tend to post my illustrations of bloggers. This is (as you can see) an illustration of a teddy bear. First time I drew one, I believe. Still, I felt like it belongs into this feature. Why? Because this particular feature is all about sharing what bloggers inspire me. It is about what I like most about blogging- the interaction between blogs.  That is why I have recently increased the amount of this kind of 'inspired by' posts. It doesn't mean that I will not at same point in future blog about others things. It just means that blogging interaction matters to me.  I love the fact that we can inspire one another. That is why I always leave links, so you can check out what inspired me....Speaking of which, this time I was inspired by an amazing project currently being run by Matea from blog Smile Snap Sparkle . ...

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...
