#14 RAINY SPRING SUNDAY

Sem oseba, ki ljubi poletje, sonce in dolge dni. Ljubim vonj sveže pokošene trave (še posebej tiste prvič), zvoke ptic in žuželk, ki neutrudljivo izvajajo svoj vrhunski koncert. Vesela sem, da je pomlad, saj to pomeni, da se bližamo najlepšemu delu leta. Pravzaprav smo že skoraj tu, saj mi je tudi ta, uvodni del močno pri srcu. Rada imam pomladansko sonce, zavedam pa se, da mora biti na vsake toliko časa tudi deževno vreme, tako kot danes. Včasih se mi zdi, da dež izvabi iz nas posebne občutke. Sama sem ob takem vremenu pogosto polna navdihov in idej, kaj vse bi lahko naredila. In ne ostane vedno samo pri idejah. Ko sem doma, mi daje dež občutek umirjenosti in sprostitve. In ker nas dež pogosto asociira na sivo barvo, sem za današnjo objavo izbrala risbo, ki je ustvarjena samo s svinčniki. Uporabila sem svinčnike različne trdote – različni H-ji, B-ji in HB. Ugotavljam, da se rada posvetim ustvarjanju oblik samo s svinčniki. Seveda pa se še učim, kar pomeni, da se bodo tudi moje risbe še izboljšale. Upam!

// I am one of the people, who loves summer, the hot sun and the long summer days. I love the smell of the freshly cut grass (especialy when it is mowed for the first time in a season), sound of birds and insects, which tirelessly perform their topmost concert. I am happy, that spring is here, because that means, that the most beautiful time of the year is coming. We are already here, actually, because I love this "introductive" time as well.  I love the spring's sun, but at the same time I am aware that there will be some rainy days, too, like the one today. Sometimes I think, that the rainy weather elicitis some special feelings from us. During that kind of weather I have a lot of inspiration and ideas. It doesn't always stay with only the idea. When I am at home, rain gives me a feeling of calmness and relaxation. And because most of us associate rain with the grey colour, I used only pencils for today's sketch. I used pencils in different hardness – different H's, B's and HB. I actually found out, that I like to draw and create various forms with only pencils. I am still learning, which means that my drawing's skills should be slowly improving each time. So I hope!

#11 CAMEL SHADE

To risbo sem narisala pred več kot dvema letoma. Spomnim se, da sem bila precej ponosna na njo, saj je kar dodelana. Pravzaprav se mi tudi danes ne zdi slaba. Prevladuje pa barva v kateri je mojih oblačil zelo malo. Zanimivo je, kako hitro se lahko spreminja posameznikov stil oblačenja in kaj vse vpliva na to. Velik vpliv ima seveda spreminjajoča se moda in posledično, kaj lahko dobiš v trgovinah. Vse to pa v zadnjem času oblikujejo slavni ljudje in modni blogerji. Tudi sama jih spremljam kar nekaj. Prav to so osebe, ki imajo v ozadju modne industrije pomembno vlogo. Le ti odločajo, kaj se bo nosilo in kaj ne. Ni čudno, da smo vsi tako zelo uniformirani, čeprav mislimo, da sploh nismo.

// I did this drawing more than two years ago. I remember, that I was pretty proud of it, because it was rather good. Even today I still like it. The main colour used in the illustration is the one that I don't wear often. It is interesting how fast a personal style can change and what kind of factors have an impact on it. The biggest impact is definitely the fast changing fashion world that influences what kind of clothes you can get in stores. Fashion is formed by celebrities and fashion bloggers. I follow a few of them. Actually these people are the main shapers of fashion in the background of fashion industry. They determine what we will wear and what not. It's no wonder that we are so uniformed, although we think, we are not. 

#7 NEW LOOK

Nekaj novega, povsem novega! Risba sicer ni nastala v enem dnevu, kot delam po navadi, saj mi vmes ni bila več všeč. Čez kar nekaj dni sem ponovno odprla skicirni blok in se lotila barvanja, da vidim, če bo vseeno kaj prišlo iz tega. Včeraj je tako nastalo to, kar je pred tabo. Zdi se mi, da je kljub vmesnim dvomom, risba zadovoljiva. Takšna oblačila v tej kombinaciji bi z veseljem nosila tudi sama. Z dodatkom enostavnih črnih čevljev s peto pa bi to kombinacijo naredili bolj elegantno.

// Something new, brand new! I usually complete a drawing in one day, but this one took longer. Before colouring with colour penciles, I didn't like it very much. After a few days I opened the sketchbook again. I said to myself, why I don't at least try, and then I started again. I ended this drawing yesterday and this is the result. I think that this illustration is pretty good, despite all my previous doubts. I would like to wear that kind of outfit. With the addition of some simple black high heels instead of the shoes in the drawing, I think, that the combination would become more elegant.
