Dancing Rabbits


This is from a few years ago when I was enamored with a newly discovered story told in dance. I did all the main characters as rabbits.

Grey Fox


Another cardboard masterpiece. The sketching is very rough, but you get almost an impressionist image when you leave off and don't finish it out.

Blue Eyed Bunny

This was sketched in pencil, colored in oil color pencil, then retraced in pencil. The page I drew it on was just a piece of leftover cardboard. Cardboard doesn't archive very well--it deteriorates--but when you scan and save the image on your computer that alleviates the problem and allows you to turn a piece of scrap into an art medium. What I really like is that white shows up well against the brown without contrasting too much as it might with a black background. The greater contrast would be good for some effects like lightning, pirate flags, fireworks, etc. For bunnies I prefer a more serene look.
