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

To be completely honest,  until recently I had no idea who Prabal Garun was. It is quite possible that I saw his designs before (because he is favoured by many celebs and all that), but I haven't put the name and the dress together- if you know what I mean.  However, when I saw his Resort Collection featured in British Vogue, I just fall in love. This collection is so feminine and chic, but at the same time simple, timeless and non pretentious. All the designs from this collection look very sophisticated. Long story short, I loved it so much I had to do at least one illustration. The medium is pencil again, (or to be more precise it's colour pencils) on paper. Da budem posve iskrena, do prije neki dan nisam imala pojma tko je Prabal Garun. Sasvim je moguće da sam vidjela njegove kreacije prije (jer ga zvijezde često nose i tako to), ali nekako nisam spojila ime i haljinu, ako znate na što mislim. No, kada sam vidjela njegovu Resort kolekciju za 2018 u Britanskom Vogue-u, ...

I love how this fashion illustration turned out. This time I illustrated an outfit from Vivianne Westwood's Spring 2017 Ready To Wear Collection. Who doesn't like Dame Vivianne Westwood? She is a true icon of British fashion. Among British designers, she has always been my personal favourite. So, I was really thrilled to draw this illustration. The medium is coloured pencils on paper.  Sviđa mi se kako je ova modna ilustracija ispala. Ovoga puta sam ilustrirala kreaciju iz ovogodišnje proljetne kolekcije (spremne za nošenje) Vivianne Westwood. Tko ju je voli? Ona je prava ikona britanske mode. Među britanskim kreatorima, uvijek mi je bila najdraža. Tako da sam baš sa zadovoljstvom nacrtala ovu ilustraciju.

Hi darlings! Time for another Inspired by post. Today I'm sharing with you a sketch (medium: markers on paper) inspired by Baba Luccia (visit her blog here ). Lately I've been using markers more (ordinary ones, not copic ones) and I ended up liking it. I actually draw this illustration last Summer with pencil and misplaced it. Now, that I found it again, I decided to fill it in with markers. Zdravo dragi! Vrijeme za još jednu objavu u Nadahnuta s rubrici. Danas sa vama dijelim skicu (medij: markeri na papiru)  nadahnutu s blogom Baba Luccia (posjetite ga ovdje ). U zadnje vrijeme dosta koristim markere (obične, ne copic markere) i zasada mi se svidjelo. Zapravo sam naslikala ovu ilustraciju prošloga ljeta olovkom, a onda sam jeuzagubila. Sada, kada sam je ponovo pronašla, odlučila sam je popuniti markerima.  MORE FASHION ILLUSTRATIONS DONE WITH MARKERS! https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2018/02/fashion-illustration-of-day-green-dress.html https://moda...

Now, you know that a month can't go by without my Inspired by feature.  No matter how pressed for time I might be, I'll do my best to make time for this feature. This fashion illustration was inspired by beautiful Idu from fashionably Idu blog (do check out her blog  here ). All of you who are familiar with my love for bright colours and flare sleeves will understand why I drew this outfit (see the outfit  here ). The medium is coloured pencils on paper. It took me about two hours to make this drawing because there are a lot of details. Ruffles are not the easiest thing to draw, especially when they are paired with flare sleeves but thanks to Zoe's Hong tutorials on YouTube (that and the time I put into practice),  I've made progress. Mjesec ne može proći bez moje rubrike Nadahnuta s. Bez obzira na to koliko bila kratka sa vremenom, potrudit ću se napraviti vremena za ovu rubriku. Ova modna ilustracija je bila nadahnuta s lijepom Idu sa bloga fashionably Idu (...
