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.
