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

Hi there! Today I'm back with another post about Jelsa city on island Hvar and I’m basically taking it from where I stopped yesterday . If you're in mood for browsing images of crystal clear water and learning more about Jelsa, you have came to the right place. Speaking of which, isn't the Adriatic Sea amazingly beautiful? I love how clear and turquoise the sea in Croatia is ( Remember where the sea is crystal clear? ). I'm simply in love with these turquoise waters.

I actually sketched a single outfit first, but then I decided to add another one. The final sketch features two girls. I like the friendship vibe that's going on here. It's a fun twist on a classical fashion illustration. I was inspired by this dress .  POLKA DOTS AND A MIDI DRESS Bellow you can see an illustration of a grey midi dress topped with a yellow detail with polka dots. I'm still not sure whether I mean it as a part of the dress or some kind of crop...
