Drawing 7 cute bunny poses

1. Bunny Poses Introduction: Hello and welcome to my creative States. Today, we will learn and practice different poses of a bunny in acute and whimsical way. I'm an artist from France. I have many years of experience drawing, illustrating. I'm so passionate about getting my inspiration from Nature's little creatures and doing them in my own style, adding some form of cuteness to my works of art. In this class, I will take you through some very simple steps that I use to create these little characters. And today's specifically the little bunnies. Then I will give you some very simple tips and tricks for coloring. A few techniques for shading to help bring your little character to life. And at the end of this class, we will take one of the middle characters that you drawn and we'll make something special and unique with it. Being able to share your work of art with someone else who will love and appreciated, where you can personalize it for just them. It's probably the most wonderful thing for an artist. So I welcome you to come today and experienced this little time with me. So without further ado, I'll see you in class. 2. Bunny Poses Class 01 - Materials needed: For this class, I have seven little papers like this, which I cut out from my notebook, A5 notebook, which makes these little cards. So we will need one for each little animal pose that we will be creating today. Next, you will need a pencil, a regular pencil. I use a mechanical pencil that way I don't have to sharpen my eraser and a black thin pen. This one is size zero-point for, but you can use even a little thicker or if you have a thin marker that will do just fine as well. Then for our coloring, you will need a paintbrush. Mine is quite thick, but it has a very thin point to it. Just some regular walked her paints will do. I will use a set of color pencils. Now we're ready to get started. 3. Bunny Poses Class 02 - Side, hold hands: Before I get started, I like to use the general basic shapes. So far our bunny, we're going to make little overhaul of a pointy oval. So if you putting it this way, it looks kind of like an egg or an avocado, you could say. So one side is rounded and the other side is pointy, little bit pointy. And I'm going to make another oval for the ear a little bit smaller and then another one behind appear. And I'm going to make another oval, little bit smaller and facing this way vertically instead. Underneath. Then another long oval. And then a little circle in the back. So these will be our basic shapes for a bunny. Now we're ready to make it a little bit more detailed, but still with my pencil. So I'm going to start with the year. Follow the line, but on the top I kind of go a little bit more pointy, but rounded. So that's the general shape of my ear. I'm going to erase as I go the lines that I don't mean. Just that way it makes it clear what I'm doing. So this ear is in front because he's going to be a little bunnies going to be facing sideways. Again. I'm going to erase that part. So I'm still very rough lines as you can see, but it's kind of taking shape. Here will be where his little nose comes. So far as it knows, I just added a little curved line like this. I will add his eyes so kind of parallel to his nose. I'm going to add this little eye. And I'm going to make a nice big little oval. Good, Nice big little boat is kinda big comparing to the eyes, but it's small compared to the face. To make it the literalists point t, I think. So. Don't feel bad to erase as you go. You kind of just get the feel for what looks good and what makes you feel satisfied with. So again, the ear, little bit curved like this. So this is the back here, so we only see part of it. Now for his body. We have our little oval shape here, but instead I'm going to go a little bit and curve it out. This part for his Tommy, I'm going to follow it quite well. I can erase this already. And here I'll continue to follow it this way. So all I did is I kind of went in a little bit and I'm going to add his little leg. So here is your front leg in front. And I'm going to follow, sort of follow the shape of my oval and make his two little on. We can see two. We don't see the third one because it's behind him. Make his foot go back a little bit. I think that's cute. And I'm going to go ahead and make his other one. Just two little C shapes like that. And we don't see fully either. I'm going to make his little arm. So this pose is he's holding something. So I'll start from the head like this and I go up and leave a little space. And then start again, kind of almost in the middle. And I bring it towards the top of his hand. Raised sat and try again. So I take it from the top and I leave a little space. And I'm going to make little C-shape S1 backwards Cs. For his little hands. Here I can make it a little line for the rest of his tummy that we see behind. And I'm going to include his other little arms, so he's holding something. I'm not going to be making him hold anything because I'm leaving. I'm going to leave that to your imagination. You can add whatever you want into his hands, whether it's a bouquet of flowers, some balloons, maybe a nut, maybe a carrot. So I think he's going to be cute like that. To add a little bit of his tummy, Just a little fluff like that because I can make it a different color. We end with this fluffy little tail, so I'm making it just like little cloud. And there we have our little bunny. I can make his ears and some whiskers. And that's the general gist of our bunny. Now we're ready to run. So you take your pen and you just follow along. And even a little bit of spaces as I go. I'm not so set on every single line. I think that it's kind of the cuteness of it. You don't have to perfect it to a T. Here is an egg because it's still part of his body. I leave a little bit of space. We might not see much difference because of your pencils. Make his little whiskers very quick, little lines. And his, it'll, I do his little hands. So his backhand has more space for him to be holding something. Tell me here is i 2. I just do very thin lines, as thin as my pen will go. And I'm just following all my strokes. And it helps because we raised as we went voice sometimes I have a big mess of a of a sketch and I have a hard time deciding which lines to use. My cute little bunny pose with the sideways standard pose. And then I end with a gentle, gentle erasing. That way. You can see your lines even better. I go gently, I start very, I start where I started off just to make sure that my pen is nice and dry and won't smudge. So this paper's fairly good and good quality because it's for water paints. So like subdued smudge, tiny little bit here. So I might have pushed a little too hard. Anyways. I hope yours turned out beautifully, I'm sure it did. So that's our first little bunny pose. I'll see you in the next class. 4. Bunny Poses Class 03 - Sitting back view: This one, he's going to be facing the back. We're going to do our shapes. I will have my oval shape for his head. And oval or circle shape. I like making circles because it looks cuter that way. It kind of helps the head to stand out a little bit more. If you want a little bit more realistic or if you want your bunny looking a little older than you can make your body shape, beggar, crying to do the ears appear. Oh, you know what? I'm going to start again. Make my Punnett data bit lower this time. So take the middle of your paper is I didn't realize that his ears are so long. So make your rough oval, circle body more oval if you want them bigger. Either a or an adult bunny. I have a little baby. And that way you have plenty of space for the ears. Also, the bigger your ears, the cuter it is. I think. Again, it's an oval, as you can see, but we're kinda bringing ours in and curling it in. And I add another little circle here for the tail and two little ovals for his feet. I don't know if you can see that so clearly, but here we will now be sketching. It's little bit more in detail. So we have the shape of his ears, which you already know how to do. You follow the oval, but at the top you kind of go in and curve our head, we will follow the shape of the oval this time it will be a perfect oval because he's not facing us. We his nose would be right in the middle if he was facing us. Here, we will just kind of leave a little space because it's continuing his body like kind of erase a little bit. I can still see the general place where I want everything. Our head is here, our little body, but I'm going to go in a little bit and then out so we can see his cute little neck and L and follow the circle. Now, our little fluffy cloud tail. I wanted out a little bit more like this. And now his little feet, which I'll put like this, is it all mountains to the little curved lines. And then up to a little bit. So we're kind of following the oval shape that we're also giving it a little bit of style. And going in a little bit and then back out. This one's smaller. I think we'll make sure that the same size, It's the same height. It's okay if they're not the same width because one could be more in front and the back. And we won't see dries, it'll arms because there'll be in the front. And we have our little bunny pose. Now you're ready to ink it, which is basically falling all the same lines that you sketched. Nothing else really to it. We can lift your pen once and awhile to give a little space to your to your lines. If you like the more organic, rough kinda. I think sometimes it adds its own cuteness. So once you have the sketch, line art comes really comfortably. And you've already drawn to other poses. Each pose, I think it's a little bit easier. I kind of get accustomed to your little character. And we're going to make as it always screws that come out due to, or you can do three. We have left to do is gently erase our pencil sketch. And I'm going to do the whiskers quite yet. Give it a little bit more time to dry. There we go. Any lines to fill out? Can just check. I left some open lines. That was our third little bunny pose. 5. Bunny Poses Class 04 - Front Standing: We're going to do for standing up, folded hands. So how will we do that? You guessed already, we're going to start with our basic shapes. In the middle of your page. You do your oval for the head. We do our ovals for the ears. And we do our little circle for the body. And our oval or long flat ovals for the feet. And for the little arms, we're going to be putting them like this in front. Ok, now we're ready to add in the detail. So you can erase as you go, you know which lines you won't need anymore. So for the ears, go back out In curve. And I don't always make them exactly the same as each other. They don't have to be totally matching. Sometimes their ear bunny ears Glenn can be up on, can be down. So it's, I think it also adds to the whimsical duck. A little hand here. So he'll be looking totally forward. So again, we're going to make a perfect oval. I can make the little inner ear. For a little arms. I'm following basically the shapes that I had and I'm just going to make little detailed fingers here. Well, they're not really fingers, but we'll pause. 1, 2, 3, and 4. His body. I'm going to go just in slightly and then out following the circle and out. I think it adds to his little cuteness because and we see a little bit more shape than just a big circle to edit nato fluff to his tummy. Or like a little Tommy patch. For its feet we have our general shape. So I'm going to do is just give it a little bit more shape out so that we see a little bit of his leg like this and go out and then I do something like that. They're a bit too long, maybe they're a little too long for his body size. Can just alter that easily. Because we have a little baby. Remember, you want to make him looking a little older than you can make his body bigger, his legs longer and is lighter as well. So now we move on to his heads. We have an imaginary lines. I think that there's an imaginary line here. And we will add his little and too little lines for the nose so you don't even have to touch each other and then add little lines, little line for that towards his mouth. I don't even draw a mouth. I think it's cute like that. But you can give him an expression if you want. You can give him a little smile like this. You can give him a little frowned like that or a little circle like that. But for now because I don't have a specific idea for this card, we will give him nothing and I'll leave that for you to add in. So we finished our sketch and we can ink. It. Might get faster and faster as you go in each position, each little pose. But at the same time you might learn something new about the rough bunnies with each pose. So the four, I did this, I went on internet and I checked out some little some little cute baby bunnies. Baby bunnies because that's kind of what we're drawing. And I kind of found out, I kind of took ideas from the realistic photos of bunnies, but kind of added my own cuteness, own style to it, which is what I'm doing for these. But you'll notice that some of their features are the same. Not all because I've added either bigger ears or bigger Tommy are little bit different of a position. That's what whimsical art is. You don't really have to follow the rules all the time. So we don't see his cute fluffy tail this time because it's still me in the back. And that's because this is our front pose. Standing up front pose. If you wanted to, he could even be holding something, which gives you room for imagination. Now these little poses, you can actually create a whole picture out of it. And that's why I'm creating these because sometimes even me, I had a hard time drawing animals. I could draw a senior ease just fine, but animals was my problem. So I worked really hard at it, my learned, and I found my own cute style that now I'm happy to share with you. 6. Bunny Poses Class 05 - Walk, side view: Moving on to our next little bunny pose. This time he will be running or walking or some type of action towards the side. So I'm going to be making him walk or run towards the left. So I will start with my basic shapes. And this time I'm going to have the oval and pointing this way. Since that's where our bunny is going to be facing. I add the oval for his ears. When they're when they're facing the back a little bit more than usual because he's walking in this direction. And here is his circle body. Going to have one arm over here and maybe the other arm over here. When you work with but you do with your arms. I'm kind of trying to picture that. It's not really a real bunny because real bunnies wouldn't be up on their legs. For this is kind of cute whimsical look that I'm giving our bunny. And he's going to be lifting his little one leg here. If you were just walking, you could make his legs a little bit closer to each other. I'm making him I'm giving him big steps. Okay, so that's our general shape. With a pencil, not inking yet. Now I added a little bit more detail. Or ears again, we follow a little bit of a shape like this race. I have a lot of lines going on here. I want to make sure that I get them right. Swan again, I have his nose right at the point they're towards the oval curve. And his eye follows the nose towards the side like that. And I like giving him a little eye patch. Sometimes I add his mouth, sometimes not. Maybe we'll add him give him a little mouth this time. For his arm. I think this one is okay like this. I make their hands really tiny and cute. I think that adds to the cuteness. And four here we will go in a little bit again for his tummy and do his little belly patch. And his hand will also go really small. Smallest little details I think are his hands doing a mighty big jump there. So this one is in front and this one will be in the back. So I will close it here and kind of need to decide that as you draw. For his little pause, C2 pause. The other one will be in the back. And I can even draw circles like that inside. This one will be facing down. You can either of him on his tippy toes or he can be sideways like that. I think it's like that. So we'll leave it at that course. We'll add a little detail of his whiskers. We can do that with our pen. Has quite a big head. Doesn't mean if you want him to look more realistic again, or Apple Tish, just make the body bigger. Stuck to the very cute little bunny style, not so much Rabbit. Rabbit is more rabbit or hair more adult addition, they have a bigger body, longer body to one stroke or little strokes as lightly as possible. And I will add is little mouth. As you know, sometimes I don't. I just wanted to see what it looked like. As he's walking along merrily, taking a stroll. Again, this is great for imagination because you'll be taking it the next step, you'll be taking it further. You can create a whole piece of art with the civil character. When will he be doing? Where is he going? Where is he now? And that leads to a whole story. To the wonderful thing about art. Art is really creating stories. So I hope that with these little characters, you can either create your little story or your little projects. Okay, moving on to erasing very gently, slowly so that it doesn't smudge. Now we can see a little bit clearer. The little details, enough, fingers and the toes. I think he's such a cute little creature. I can imagine him just running along. 7. Bunny Poses Class 06 - Sitting, Side view: This one will be sitting side view pose. So I will start off with my shapes. Basic shapes. Since he's sitting down, he has a lot of space. So I'm making it even a little bit bigger, filling out my paper. So again, it's my oval and decide which side. I want him to have his little nose and I'll make it a little bit more potent t on one side. Now way we know that the ears will go on this side and try to fill up my paper, not waste anything. So the back IRR is always a bit smaller. Kind of erase as I go, but you don't have to because in the end we will also erase it. Okay, This one, I'm a little bit, it will still be curved for this one. K. So for this one the eyes, he's going to still be facing sideways like our previous one. But I'm going to give I'm going to give him both eyes. Well, they both have they all have two eyes, but this one will be facing partly sideways so we can see both of his eyes. That means his nose won't be at the tip here. Instead it will be in the middle of his eyes, while more facing this one because of the position of the bunny. Like just making a little two lines like that for the news. And I will add a little line in the center. This little whiskers. Again, I'll add a little eye patch. I think that's cute, especially because bunnies are not that colorful. So any extra little color that I can add to it, like in the ears or a little patch. I think it's very cute. I'm going to add the shape of his body. She'll be round. Then I can add his arms. So here I'm kind of sketching as I go. The first one I showed you that you could just do the basic shapes and then kind of fill out the sketches. But for some reason when I draw bunny, when after you know how to draw your proportions correctly, you kind of just go along. Here again, he's going to be holding something which will leave to your imagination. So here's his second hand. I'm going to do his little neck, little bit curved in and then out to follow the shape. You can do the line for his other hand. Here again, you go in a little bit and out. Now for his lay his feet, I'm going to make the rough shape. I will have feeds like that. Maybe this one's also like this. So big little ovals. They have big O big feet, long feet. Is little leg here is that she is hand is a native of it. I could have made it a little smaller. Smaller the body than the cuter. It is almost like a little like a baby. They have a big head and small little bodies. So I'm going to make his body follow again the circle. And here we go a little bit for his his leg out Is Tommy sticks out here. And here I'll have a little early patch. So for the first time kind of going through as you see, I'll erase it. I'm just making some little mountains, in fact. Go in a little bit. And then out of that was so clear, but you'll get the hang of it as we go. Don't worry. We'll be drawing seven different poses for binding. So by the end you'll be an expert and drawing. And little button. Here. We're just going to have to because the other one is in the back. So he's kind of holding his toes, playing with his toes, or he could be holding something. So this part is quite good. This part, and it's a good rough sketch and we'll just detailed it up with our ink pen, which I think we're ready to do. Besides the tail, I'm just going to make a circle, half circle shape and then we can detail it with our pen. So I'm just slowly, gently following my lines that I'm happy with. If you can, you can even for the inside, for example, the tiny details I try to hold my pen even more gently that way I get the strokes even lighter and thinner. Sometimes it works. Depends on your pens, I guess. Turn your paper around. It's nice working with little papers like this because it's very easy and practical to turn them around as is most comfortable for your for your strokes? For his nose sometimes I do two or three times because I like his little nose a little bit thicker lines. I'm just working with one pen, one size pen. Either you make your lines very thin or you can make a few strokes if you want a thicker lines. Moving onto his we'd already seen his neck here anymore. You can do it either all in one stroke or you just do little, little lines. Sometimes I'm, my hand is a little smoother and I can do it in one stroke. Other times. I feel I'm going to be a little bit more jagged. So I do a few strokes and it really doesn't matter. It's the end result that matters. And for my tail, I'm going to make a little fluffy cloud. Now we have our second pose all done. I can, I'm going to gently erase my line. I missed a little line here and here. So you can see better. What lines you didn't close. Well, I notice another little line that I didn't finish for the tummy. By could sort of end here or I can make a little line to end there. We have our second little pose. So this one is really queued for when you want your little bunnies sitting on a rock or sitting in the grass, sitting on a branch, sitting on a bed. I leave that to your imagination. 8. Bunny Poses Class 07 - Side, leaning forward: For our next little pose, we're going to have our little bunny leaning forwards to the side. So I'm going to make our little shapes again. You'll be facing here. So there will be the way, you know by now that this will be his little nose over here. I think I'll make his year GO side a little bit like that. And his other year close behind. Sometimes I follow it parallel and sometimes I'd like to its own mind, of its own. So for this one instead of a little circle will continue. We'll still have our little circle, but it will be just a little bit further over here. Going to add a hand over here. And our little oval here for his foot, and then a circle here for his tail. So you can kind of basically see the shape of our bunny already. I'm going to make him face a little bit higher up. So depending on where you want them to face, you can either put his nose down here and you'll be looking down here. Few make his nose up here, he'll be looking up here. So I want him to look up actually. So we'll just have to change it a little bit to ear is still okay or you can even move them around. Sorry. Sometimes I change my mind. We go So I want his little nose here, which means is I will be right here. And it's a little bit too big. So for the difference of his body here instead of His, the circle being directly close to his head. We're going to give it a little curve and a little shape like that. Put me here. The rest is sort of similar. We add his little legs. I guess I'm already adding the details here. So here will be high patch, hence inside of his ear. And the only difference are you kind of case you want to IR in front. It's cute little bit. So I'll make it a bit wider. Alleyways as I go. And his body a little bit behind the fence. Is fluffy tail up in the air. This little arms? Limbs. Yes, this other one behind which we can see but we don't have to. I can make it like that. Really depends what you want him to be doing. And I will finish up his little Tommy here. We have the general idea of our bunny and whiskers. So it's kind of not totally proportionate. I would say his head is a little bit too low. Let's play around with it if we did it this way. Yeah, maybe lane or less wide. Just like if it doesn't look right, I want to make it look right. So that's what our erasers for it. Don't be afraid to use it. Just because I've been drawing beanies for so long doesn't mean that I always get them right. Sometimes it flows and sometimes it doesn't. So don't feel bad at all. That's why I'm teaching. You hear, teachers also are continually learning and making progress. That's what makes life exciting. All right, We're ready to ink. I think I'm happy with it now. So sometimes if you're not totally happy with the result, It's okay. You can try again. You can erase, or you can just leave it as it is. And you'll do better next time. Don't ever be afraid of mistakes. Mistakes are just your next step. Next step to making my bonding even better. So here is no body. And I end with a little fluffy tail. I think that's my favorite part. And we can add his little whiskers. Here we have our little side leaning forward pose, I guess. Again here he could be ready to jump. You could even have him facing up a little bit with even if you just change his feet this way, you can be facing up. It's really very simple to do a few tiny little changes. And you kind of changed his whole position. Which is the wonderful thing about these at all. Characters. They're so versatile and you can use them for so many little projects. Be sure to finish this course because at the end I'm going to show you a project that you can do with one of these pictures. There we have it. I hope this one was fun and see you in the next class. 9. Bunny Poses Class 08 - Sleeping, rest, relax: Our very last little bunny pose will be asleep and resting pose. So I might make his head right in the center actually. So that's where you can put your one of his years this way and then the other one following closely after. So as you know by now we have one-pointed side of the oval, which is where his nose will be. So I'm going to have his facing a little bit down his eyes. So instead of this I open, it will be a little U-shaped like this. And we still have our little eye patch. We will have is cute little arms is going to be holding his hands and his big. Okay, and then we have another little shape over here like this little circle shape. So it's little bit his great big tummy. And it's either little or big notebooks like this, such as follow along. We'll have feet like that. Okay, so I can add in little bit more detail. You can do a little part of his leg here. And we don't really see his tail here. It's quite, I think it will be too flat to see it, so I'm not going to draw it there. Just draw his little Tommy patch. And I like his other little foot kinda facing in. Let's see, towards the other foot. Think it's cute to have your little feet together. It's like all cozy little thing. It's holding his hands and he's holding his feet. Because I'll leave that to your imagination. That's the fun, creative part that you get to play by yourself. You can add a little frog or you can add a little branch. Okay, Well, we're ready to go. I think we have our basic shapes and we have our most of our details. So now that you get more used to drawing your bunny, you can even leave out some of your details and just leave it to line art, which is a little bit more exciting, little bit more scary too. Now, we're on number 7 pose for example here. If you have a hard time deciding where to put it, you can place two little dots and you can join those dots if that's easier for you. So we're going to be following our cute little head curves, head shapes, nose, and the eye. Babies when they sleep. I think it's the same thing for little bunnies. You could see that, but however you make his little hands, I made one curve and then two little lines. And we have all the details and we're ready to erase the lines we don't want, we don't need. And there we have our very last. Oh, so cute. 10. Bunny Poses Class 09 - Coloring and Shading: For this extra bonus class, we're going to go through all the hoses that we've made together. So we did a little back pose, little running pose, side holding pose, resting, sleeping pose, ready to leap those. And it's standing pose. And a little sitting sideways pose. I'm going to choose one of them. I think it's going to go with this one. You choose, whichever one you like for this next little section of the project. So this is when you will need your pain and your color pencils. I will bring in my watcher plate over here. And we're going to give this bunny a little bit of color and shading. And I'm going to go with little mix of colors. So I'll start out with, I don't have the exact color for my bunny that I would like. So I might mix a little bit. I don't have my mixing cup here. So I will just come up with my own. I wanted to little pink, a little beige, little gray. So let's see how this works. You can even try it out on your side, on the side of your paper like this. I want mine a little bit more. Okay, and then I just start out, I'm not going to paint the whole thing because I kinda like my bunny, kind of a very light color. Nice. Don't always have too much color unless they are black and white. And for the shade, I'm kind of following what's in the back. So here we have the ear little bit in the back here. And that's when I add in a little touch of black. Kind of make a little gray. This ear is behind, so that's why I colored it fully. Whereas this ear might just have a tiny little dabs of color. I'll sorry, try not to add too much water because it's not the perfect or paper for too much water color. And the rest I can just make do with the color, the water that I have, which gives it a very light tint of the color that I used for the shading. So you'll notice that I'm not really following shadings yet. This is where that will come in next when we will use our pencils. But I would like to give just a little bit of color into our bunny. I guess more than beige. It turned out to be a little bit gray. Maybe add in a little touch of these. I kind of mix. I need to make sure that there's enough water but not too much either. You go on, try out different colors. And it's not perfect because it's not supposed to be perfect. But that is a little too yellow. And what I wanted. So what's nice about watercolor is it can be very rough. Even though we're going with very cute whimsical style. The water paint color is also important. And it kind of gives the style of the picture as well. And I'm leaving out the little tail, the eye patch, and the belly patch. White for now. Since our body has a little bit more yellow, I can add a little bit to this side here. I'm going to have to add the same color and shading everywhere as you can see. And kind of like the different colors and where it's used. It's used more than this. Kind of on the right side. So I will leave it at that. Now you just have to let it dry. And I find it easier to use the pencils for the shading is then I can be a little bit more choosy where I put my colors and it won't smudge or leak where I don't want it to. Also, I like the texture that it gives. So if I'm picking a black one and this one is a little sharper. And I'm just going to go behind behind the different areas. So here the head is a little bit behind the ear and I'm giving it a little bit of shadow just there. Same with the ear here in a little bit. So I will add a little shadow to it. Inside here in the corners, here, the sides a little bit. Let me say a little bit too dark. I notice that if I don't let it dry enough, then it gets darker. So I think here it was still a little bit wet. It's okay if it's not totally dry, but just just be aware of that. I'm going to add a little bit of shadow under the nose. I think that helps the nose stand out a little bit of it under the head. Here into the side little bit. Our light source would be coming from this part here. Which means I'll put underneath here again, it's a little bit of shadow. As you can see, our colors kind of smudged a little bit, so it's a little sad, but maybe it will just be okay with my pen kinda smudged. So next time maybe you want to add a little less water to your projects. Like I did. It still works. It's not the end of the world, but I'll know for next time. So there's kind of dark is color that I want to use. Then I will go with the second dark color. So I'm going to add a little bit of brown. And again, I go over the same patches. Same. So it's not even a brown, reddish there. Because the little shadow like this kind of helps your colors to stand out a bit. Especially not when you don't do it to the whole bunny. The spec here, I can add a little bit more color to it because it's behind. When I just put a little bit on this side. So I'm coding very gently. I preferred to a gently but doing many strokes like this kind of gives a nice texture. Or bunnies many different colors. But it helps the bunny come to life a little bit more. And now if you compare this one with another one that you've drawn, you'll see a big difference. I want to give him some cute little pink cheeks and just make two little circles. Are the whiskers start. And with the same pink, I kind of do the inside of the ears as well. Not so hot on this pink, It's a little bit too fluorescent, so I'm going to go over with an orange. Kind of finds the medium. So you keep going until you are happy with your color choices. And then I might even take a yellow and do the little circles. I don't like leaving it totally white. I wanted a lighter version and then paint. So I'm using my coloring pencils. Since I didn't have the right color paints. And I will go ahead and do the tail is well, this is really a light yellow. You can also use a light beige if I had when I would probably use it. And it's tummy as well. And to add a little bit of shade to that, I might use a darker yellow. Has to add a little shading to the sides. So you can't see very well. So I will add, I don't have a gray color pencils, so I'm going to just take my pen and add layer a bit of shade like this tree. The pencil is really one of the best tools for shading. So if that's all you have, then you can do that. You can do the whole watercolor thing. Then just use your pencil for the shading and it will just work fine. Is really my favorite option. Just works so nicely. It's not like it will change or alter your color. Then we have our little bunny. So I will put my colors away and my paints to the side. So we have our cute little bunny all colored and shaded. I hope it worked out well for you as well. See you in the next class. 11. Bunny Poses Class 10 - Project Example: So I'm going to be showing you how to take this little bunny that you've colored and painted and shaded and create one little project out of it. So for this project you will need it. A piece of paper or cardboard. Cardboard is preferable. So this is just, it's an odd size, but we will cut it to the right shape and size worry. You will need, of course, your little bunny that you've created. You will need either a little pad of Post-It. This is not my favorite color, but it's what I had on hand. I would have picked orange instead, but I'll be okay with that. Instead. Either a little if you don't have post-its, you can also use a little notepad like this that the papers easily Rabat. So I have both options here. I'm not sure which one I'm going to go with yet. I like the size of this one, but I like the color of this one. So we'll see anyway and you will need your pencil or your pen, your eraser, and some glue. And we're ready to start. So first of all, I'm going to add a little object to my bunny, not to him, but I'm going to, to the same paper. That way I save on paper. I'm going to add a cute little carrot. Is what do our bunnies like to eat? Carrots, right? So I will just do a rough sketch. I had something like that. And maybe another character rehear trying to use as much space as I mean, as much. Oh, looks like I won't have placed with the leaves here, so I'm just going to make the leaves on the side. Now these are not perfect carrot leaves. Maybe another little carrot here. And you'll see why we are using carrots, because this project is related to food. So when I'm done that, I'm going to ink them just as I did my bunny. So for these projects sometimes you'll need some little added details like this. Because you'll see it adds to the fun and adds to the project. You could just go ahead and use just the bunny, but I think adding a little extra detail like this. So I'd be curious to see what you include in your projects for all the little pictures that you, that you drew, all the little bunny poses. Because it's one thing to make your work, it's another thing to actually use it. I love to be able to take my art and use it for something. Or even better, use my art and give it away and make somebody else happy with it. So I'm just using very rough lines, quick lines, not perfect at all. I'm just doing as many little objects as I can on my paper. And since you still have your, if you still have your paints close by, you will probably need them. Or your color pencils, you can decide. I'm going to go ahead and use my paints and just add a little bit of color to the carrots. So I know I wasn't crazy about the water colors on this paper. So what we will see how it goes, the kind of smudges on this paper because it's not really made for water paints even though it said it did, it's not the really good quality, I guess. I'm kind of going darker, orange on one side. Trying not to paint where my line art is. Probably what was a better thing to do, a wiser thing to do would have been first to paint a shape and then to draw with the ink pen. So we will try that next time. Let's see if I can add a little bit of brown, very little water I think is the key here. Little bit of brown. I really like the orange color, but it's not okay. There we go. It's starting. But it's either too much water or not enough color. Let's try here again, a little touch of brown to give it some shading. And with this caret 2, first I do my orange and I'm going to try not to touch my lines. I think I kind of looks nice even with the little white in-between. Looks more organic, more natural. And then at the end here I'm going to add the Browns. Oh, this is not really a class on painting. This is just a little project that we're working on as well. You can add a little yellow and the rest, I'll leave it white. I kind of like the extra little lights and just a little green. My greens are running out here. I kind of like the blend of both. A dark green and a yellowish green. I think the carrot leaves are sort of in-between. Too much. Add a little bit of orange. Though, as you can see, I'm just doing very quick little rough coloring because it's not our main, our main project was drawing our little character. This is just a little addition. And the bone is part of this class, which is always fun to see your work come to life in a specific project. So I'm going to let this dry a little bit. We're going to be creating a little menu board. So I'm going to measure out my bunny. So he'll be there. My little notepad will be here. And I will measure a little space on top here for my title. So I think I'll cut it around here. And I know that is where I'm going to cut my card. So if you want, you can go ahead and paint this. But for the sake of time, I'm not going to ask you to do that now. We can go ahead and gently cut our little bunny. I'm going to leave the carrots out for now because there's still drying. Put our bunny is definitely dry enough, so I'm going to go ahead and cut it out. And I'm going to put him over here. So I'm also going to cut out my carrots the same way that I cut out my buddy. I'm going to find my biggest carrot so that my bunny can sit on it. So now you just go ahead and decide where you want your little shapes to go. Because there you could have your bunny there. You could have him holding a carrier. You could have your other carrots down here. Or you could have him sitting on a carrot. So I'm just playing around with what I think would look cute. I'm not even so sure myself, I could have little carrots like this, my little notepad here. And he could be munching on a carrot, holding a carrot or sitting on a cares. I'm still deciding if I would sit him on and carrot. I think I'm going to go ahead and cut the part that he'll be sitting on that way we don't see this extra white. Seeing that way it looks much more intentional that he's sitting on a carrot. Think something like this could be cute. I'm going to write menu here. Or you could write menu or you could write shopping list. So I'm just sketching it out before I use my pen. I'm actually doing menu shopping list both of them. And I'll go ahead and glue my little things now that I know where I want them. And I'll sit him there on the carrot. I like the little 3D look. So for this one, I'm going to use wood glue, white glue because it's a little bit stronger and sturdier. So I'll just go ahead and put some behind here and place it right in the center. I will take my black pen that I used for inking my little pictures. And I'm going to just trace over my text. And we have our shopping list. I like adding little extra details to my texts. And maybe I'll color this part and after all. So as you'll find out, this is such a useful little hack now that you know how to create your little characters, you can use them for so many different projects, amazing projects that make your art come to life even more. Let's erase our pencil. There you have it. You can always add extra little things. For example, I might add a little stroke around my Post-it pad. Once it's empty that it's so easy to get a little refill of this as well. So this is where you can add, come in and add your own unique flare, unique little touch to this project. We could add more carrots, you could add more details. For example, you could even add more leaves. Salad or herbs. Can paint these or you can just leave them black and white shopping list. And there we have it. Our cute little project made with our little bunny pose. I really hope that this was an enjoyable that'll class and that maybe you'll join me in some other classes. Bye for now.
