#57 NEW OPPORTUNITIES

Ves blišč in vznemirjenje po božiču in prehodu iz starega v novo leto je v večji meri za nami. Sledi počasno pospravljanje znakov tega obdobja. Sledi pospravljanje vseh lučk, okraskov in tudi sladkarij. Razmišljam, kako krut je pravzaprav prehod iz veselega decembra v turobni januar. Prehod se zgodi pričakovano, pa hkrati tako nenadno in kruto. Še včeraj smo doživljali pričakovanje in radost, danes pa že stopoma po sivem, od dežja mokrem asfaltu. In prav zares je siv. Za nameček čutimo še krivdo zaradi vseh stvari, ki jih nismo ali pa smo naredili lansko leto. Iz tega vidika se mi zdi postavljanje novoletnih zaobljub smiselno, čeprav sama tega zares nikoli nisem počela. Smiselno je, da si postavimo cilje, ki nas bodo lažje popeljali tja do pomladi in začetka poletja. Smiselno je, da se vprašamo, kaj si resnično želimo storiti. Smiselno je, da izstopimo iz tako priljubljene cone udobja in si postavimo izzive za novo leto oziroma prihajajoče obdobje. Dane so nam možnosti, da postanemo pogumnejši, iskrenejši, odločnejši, manj obtoževalni, bolj sprejemajoči, bolj pozitivni … Vsem vam želim, da sledite svojim željam in ciljem in da se zavedate, da je zgolj srce tisto, ki nam kaže pravo pot. Vse dobro v letu 2016!

// Throughout the glamour and excitement after Christmas and the transition from the old to the new year is largely behind us. Below is a slow cleaning all of the signs of that period. Followed by cleaning all the lights, decorations and candy. I'm thinking about how cruel it is actually a transition from merry December to gloomy January. The transition is expected to happen, but at the same time so sudden and brutal. Yesterday we experienced an expectation and joy, but today we are marching on the gray asphalt wet because of the rain. And indeed it is gray. On top we still feel guilty about all the things that you did not or we did last year. From this perspective, it seems to me reasonable to setting New Year's resolutions, although I haven't really ever done this. It makes sense to set goals that  will easily take us up to the spring and early summer. It is reasonable to ask ourselves what we really want to do. It is worthwhile to stand out as favorites comfort zone and put ourselves in the challenges for the new year and the upcoming period. We get the possibilities to become more courageous, sincere, assertive, less accusatory, more welcoming, and more positive ... I want all of you to follow your desires and goals and to realize that only the heart is the one who shows us the right path. All good in 2016!

#48 WE ARE ALL THE SAME

Večina ljudi se med sabo primerja. Druge ocenijo kot boljše ali slabše v primerjavi s sabo ali drugimi. Pogosti dejavnik primerjave je zunanjost. Ljudje opazujemo drug druge in razmišljamo in/ali komentiramo njihov tip telesne zgradbe, način oblačenja, pričesko, ličenje, obnašanje itd. Seznam je lahko neskončen. Redko kdo je takšen, ki tega ne počne. In edino tako je prav. Nihče nima pravice ocenjevati drugih po teh lastnostih. Pravzaprav ni nihče boljši in nihče slabši, ker smo si vsi med sabo zelo podobni. Žal so tudi teme pogovorov med ljudmi pogosto zgolj in samo o omenjenih stvareh. Več bi se morali pogovarjati o naših razmišljanjih, videnjih določenih stvari, ki se nam dogajajo, o naših občutkih in na sploh več o nas samih in naši osebni rasti in razvoju. Imamo se za zelo razvita bitja, pa tega žal ne dokazujemo prav pogosto.

// A lot of people compare oneself with others. They judge other people as better or worse then they see themselves. The main factor of comparison is often appearance. We observe each other and thinking about or comment their body type, style, hairstyle, make up, behaviour and so on. This list can be endless. There are only few of people who don't do this. And only this way is right. Nobody has the right to evaluate other for these attributes. As a matter of fact no one is better or worse, because we are all the same.  Unfortunately, the talks between human beings are often strict and purely on these things. We have to think and talk more about our thoughts, different aspects of the same theme, about our feelings and in general about us and our personal growth and development. We think, we are highly developed creatures, but unfortunately this is not proving very often.

#39 SEXY BACK

Odprt hrbet na dolgi obleki mi je od nekdaj nekaj najlepšega. Pomembno je seveda tudi, kakšna ženska nosi takšno obleko. Zdi se mi, da so takšne obleke primerne za vitke ženske, ki so nekoliko višje. Zelo lepo se odprt hrbet poda tudi k obleki z dolgimi rokavi in puli ovratnikom. V vsakem primeru mora biti obleka dolga. Pri kratki obleki lahko hitro pride do preveč razgaljenosti, kar pa v večini situacij ni primerno. Narisana obleka je primerna za poročni dan, za nekoliko bolj moderne neveste.

// Open back with long dress seems to me something the most beautiful. It is important what type of woman wears such a dress. It seems to me, that open back dresses are the most suitable for slim women, who are a little taller. Open back is very pretty with long sleeves and turtle neck collar dresses. In any case, the dress should be long. With short dresses could easily lead to too much nudity, which is not appropriate in most situations. The drawn dress is suitable for the wedding day, for a bit more modern brides. 

#20 TULLE

Ne morem verjeti, da pišem že dvajseto objavo! Izbrala sem dolgo belo obleko. Je že tretja poročna obleka na blogu. Opažam, da zadnje čase ponovno rada rišem dolge, elegantne obleke. Zanimivo se mi zdi risati blago, plasti blaga in vse sence, ki se ustvarjajo pri tem. Seveda se še vedno učim to narisati čim bolj realistično. Obleka je v zgornjem delu oprijeta, na zgornjem delu nog pa se začne razširjati. Zgornji del je precej preprost in gladek, spodnji pa je iz tila različnih dolžin. Takšen kroj oblek mi je zelo všeč, saj ravno prav poudari ženske obline.

// I can't believe, that I'm writing my 20th post! I chose a long white dress. It's the third wedding dress on my blog. For a couple of weeks now, I really like to draw long, elegant dresses. I find it very interesting to draw textiles, textile's layers and all of the shadows which participate with it. I am still learning how to draw this even more realistically, of course. The dress is tight in the upper part, but at the upper part of the legs it starts to broaden. The upper part is pretty simple and smooth, the lower part is from different lengths of tulle. I like that kind of cut, because it stresses women's curves. 

#17 LONG WHITE DRESS

Veliko deklet ali žensk si želi obleči dolgo belo obleko enkrat v življenju. Nekaterim uspe, nekatere si jo oblečejo večkrat, druge pa nikoli. Kakorkoli, pomlad me spominja tudi na čas porok, saj se v tem obdobju število le-teh poveča. Narisana bela obleka je elegantna, dolga in vseeno ravno prav seksi. Te tri besede dobro opišejo tudi obleko, kakršno bi si izbrala sama, če bi bila pred to odločitvijo. Sprva sem mislila, da bom celotno risbo senčila zgolj s svinčniki. Začela sem z obleko in se med tem odločila, da bom ostalo pobarvala z barvicami. Dodala bi še to, da obleka žal ni moja zamisel. Z ilustracijo sem zelo zadovoljna. Upam, da bo navdihnila tudi koga izmed vas za to življenjsko odločitev.  

// A lot of girls or women have a wish to dress that white and long dress once in a lifetime. For some of them the wish comes true, some wears it more then once, others never. However, spring reminds me of the wedding time, because at that time the number of weddings increases. The white dress which I draw is elegant, long and it is just right sexy. Those three words very well describe the dress which I would chose, if I would be at that point in my life. At first I thought to just shade all the drawing with only pencils. I started with the dress and during that time I decided to colour the rest with the coloured pencils. I would like to say that unfortunately this dress is not my own idea. I am satisfied with how the illustration came out. I hope that it will inspire some of you for this life decision.
