Illustrations of the day (purple marker) / Ilustracije dana (ljubičasti marker)


Markers are not my favourite media, but sometimes it is good to challenge one's self. Working with just one marker is obviously limiting, but it is also kind of interesting. These monochrome illustrations turned out alright. Not my thing, but I'm glad I tried it. Anyhow, once I read somewhere that limitations can be really freeing- and  life proved it to me, over and over again. Sometimes it takes a limitation of some kind to make us realize how much is really out there for us to utilize.

Markeri mi i nisu najdraži medij, ali nekad je dobro uzeti nešto kao izazov. Crtati sa samo jednim markerom je očito ograničenje, ali je i nekako zanimljivo. Ove monokromatske ilustracije nisu loše ispale. Nije za mene, ali drago mi je da sam i to probala. Jednom sam negdje pročitala da ograničenja mogu oslobođavati- a puno puta život mi je baš to pokazao. Ponekad nam je potrebno neko ograničenje da shvatimo koliko toga doista ima čime se možemo koristiti.

  1. Using a medium that you're not that fond of can be a fun way to challenge yourself. It's true that limitations are freeing but they can also open our eyes to new possibilities. I try to photograph subjects I'm not that good with to do that.

  25. Hej draga moja! Konačno sam se vratila svemu ovome. Bila mi je potrebna pauza, bila sam i na ivici da ugasim sve... to je malo duža priča, ali eto, tu sam ponovo pa ću pokašati da nadoknadim propušteno u neko skorije vreme. Nadam se da si mi dobro! Sama činjenica što ti pišem komentar mi je već pravi podsetnik na ono što i dalje volim oko cele ove priče sa blogom tako da se družimo i ovde i dalje :)
