Paintings and Bunnies

Here are some pieces from this weekend so far:


My friend had a graduation party, so I made her a card. With a sleeping bunny on it. She likes cute things, you see. Markers n' brushpen

This is an illustration I started and finished last night. I haven't done any pen/ink watercolors seriously in months, and little things not since a week or two ago, so I made this for practice. I used a DK Environment/Science book for reference on the forest plants. Moss and ferns everywhere!

Making involved environments (or environments at all) is a thing that I never put much effort into until maybe the last year or so. It's actually pretty fun, I enjoy it. Perspective can be kind of a challenge, but the shapes are mostly organic and this was shallow enough that I didn't need to worry about it too much. I need to get out and plein-air paint more so I can have better references.

The character is Daisy Snarlbear, a fantasy hero who has spent the last seven years of her life in the Rainbow Dimension, where she fought monsters, saved tiny rainbow citizens and annoyed the unicorn aristocracy.
