Oops. I accidentally deleted the original post. I forgot what I said… so now the POST is a remake as well.
This piece may look familiar as the original has been in my portfolio for some time. In my last review, I had an assignment to redo Max so she looked a little friendlier. But I realized after I redrew just Max that I really had to redraw and recolor the entire piece as it is so old both my illustrating and coloring style has changed too much. So here’s the redo.
Here is a detail of the new version.
Here is the original.

This is funny. I have discovered I have to act like it’s spring in order to get the right feeling inside me in order to paint a spring image. I did this with winter too. “Art-Acting!” Stay tuned for Summer Bunny.
I wasn’t planning to do the topic this week but I drew this sketch in the 15 minutes I had to wait at the allergist’s after getting my shots. I’m kind of on a color kick, even though I need the inking practice. So I scanned the pencil sketch before I inked it so I could digi-paint it. I always like my colors better than my inks…
… but how else can I improve my inking? Of course, I COULD color my inks, like I did with the previous post. But it’s 2am so it’s time to stop. By the way, the next “Friday the Thirteenth” will be next month.
After I finished
I couldn’t stand it anymore, I’m boring myself. I wanted to do something in color again. So I stayed up late and finished this little one off tonight. Dayjob may suffer a little for it in the morning but oh well. I got inspired by the cornfields of Delaware to my east and the Blue Ridge Mountains to my west, the coming of autumn, and yes, a bunny.
Ok so I’m on vacation… I was sitting out on the screened-in porch of my in-laws house yesterday watching their cats watch the birds at the feeders. After I drew this, I realized it was perfect for this weeks topic. I aim to finish it all up when I get home. In the meantime, this is a shap-shot of my sketchbook that I took with my cellphone! Ok yeah, I’m a geek.
