1. Introduction: Hi guys. I'm telling you from my living room today because life better here. Anyways, I'm coming today. Just to say hello and start a new series of 15 or 20 min. Experiencing life with line, experiencing life with line drawing. Series. That will be very fun, very useful, a useful, I hope. And it will give you the freedom of sketching and illustrating whatever you want. In this class, I will teach you how to draw a cute histories with bunnies, Easter eggs, and some cute little florals. For this class, you will only need a pencil and a paper. So let's get started. 2. Class project: Our class project will be an Easter wreath with a cute little bunny and some super Easter elements. So, no worries, Let's jump in into practice. 3. Drawing a bunny : If you are familiar with my other classes, you probably remember that I love to simplify things. So I'm starting from looking at the object and I'm searching for the edges. So as you can see, the edges are all around this little cute bunny and inside as well. Okay, let's start with drawing bunny's head. Okay. In here. Rabbit, rabbits face and ears. Please don't concentrate on the exact shape. Just do not overthink what you're doing. There we go. First, I I remind you that this is just a line sketch which gives you a lot of freedom. Cute little nose. And rabbits, whiskers are mustache. I didn't know the correct word. Now, rabbit feed, the first one. As you can see, it is not so scary as you may be thinking at the beginning. Just concentrate again on the edges. And as you can see by drawing not regular bubbles, you can get the shape, right. Dan, the button, fit. The first one. It's always good to see and to catch these little details which make our sketch very aligned with what we had drawing. And as you can see, I'm adding little lines for a rabbit clothes. I wanted to strap it to look very, very fluffy and cute. There you go. Our rabbit is done. So how did you like our little warm-up? Let's jump into another element. 4. Drawing separate elements: Now this is the time to practice how to draw the elements that we will need for our project. So first, eggs, easter eggs, eggs, Nothing more simple to draw. You can add some really nice curvy lines, dots, spots. There you go. The first option, second option, vertical lines with some cute curvy lines. The third option, of course, little, tiny Sweden cute flowers, daisies, you may say. Please remember that these three are only my three options. And you can draw whatever you want on the skewed Easter eggs. The second element, flowers, of course, beautiful and cute spring flowers. We can start with a daisy or married marigold. Know, it's not a spring flower, okay. But Tulip, this is a super spring flower. Totally. And some, okay, forget me nuts. Tiny with the little center, five petals, sweet little cute leaves around. There you go. Three options. 5. Drawing three hugging bunnies ;): Here's a little surprise for you. I will teach you how to draw these three cute and sweet hugging rabbits. Let's go. Okay. I have to write a title for this, but he hacks. Okay, let's look for edges. There you go. The first head. It's about finding edges and having you mind general proportions. But to be honest, if you want to draw a quirky rabbit with a super big head, there is no problem. Now with this rabbit feet. You have to concentrate just a little bit. And imagine that a little bit how this robot is actually lying. Okay, which food is visible? Now let's hop to the second one, and this one is actually hugging the first bunny. And his, his second, Let's say feed. It's not visible from this side. So I'm going to draw just a one of its feet. Now, ice and had add that. Blows close. Not gloves, but close to have this little tiny details, Dan and an ear. All right. This one is also slipping. I think. Ride the leg. Okay. Okay. And autonomy. The last one is also hugging the second bunny. So the same situation. We only can see this one from one side. A little nose and eye. The face. Don't forget about tiny details. And an ear, as you can see, I'm changing the shape of it. Ears because I didn't like the first one that you can see on the painting. And legs or feet. However we we'd go it. 6. Class project: plan & sketch: As I've mentioned at the beginning of this episode, our class project, we'll be drawing any stir read. So let me just show you how I plan my drawing. This will be a little sketch. So round wreath. That's obvious. And I will put bunny in the center and on both sides and planning to draw it, to draw Easter eggs. And Dan flowers. On the top here, flowers. Flowers. And you can use the same composition or draw yours. I'm curious to see your race. 7. Class project- putting all together : I'm starting with drawing a circle. You can use a plate or something round if you're not sure about your circle. But still can check the roundness by using four dots as you can see on the video. Then in the middle of the bottom, a part of the wreath, I'm drawing cute little bunny that we were already practicing in a previous chapter of this class. So eyes, nose, whiskers, or mustache. However you prefer to call it little details to make it even more cute and fluffy and furry. Now, it's time for adding. I'm adding these first on the right side and then on the left side. Don't forget about egg decorations. I'm a little rebound scurvy lines does spots and other designs that you would like to see on an Easter egg. Another step is adding flowers. And because two leaps for my favorite spring flowers, I'm adding tulips on both sides. And I'm creating some kind of symmetry here. As you can see, bigger until ellipse at the bottom and smaller one on the top. And in the middle. There will be a good minutes. There you go. So my reef is done. Just a little signature. And there you go. It wasn't a very difficult. Am I right? 8. Adding color to the illustration : Now the funniest part of it all, it's choosing the right colors. I mean, colors you love most for your illustrate, illustration and coloring. It's almost like creating your own coloring page and then putting the right colors on it. So let's start. I love spring. Spring is one of my two best seasons of the year. I'm in spring and summer. So I'm choosing super joyful, happy, bright colors here for my tulips. I want them to stand out a little bit. Soda color is a little bit darker. I love fast sketching with my color pencils. As you can see. The fact that the elements are not fully color, it doesn't bother me at all. I love. Recall, recall are the edges. What I also like to do when you're using color pencils, I like to put darker shades on the lighter ones to create depth. And this super cute, in my opinion, of course, sketchy look. Forget, minutes will be blue with yellow centers. Just let me pick the right yellow dislikes too, like I should change it for another one. Okay. This one, it's so much better, It's visible. And i 0 on the centers to be visible. Again, adding some light blue shades. And again redrawing the edges of my sketch or my illustration. Now it's time to call our little bunny. I chose a gray elephant. Gray. As you can see, a shade of gray color. I'm just roughly coloring. It looks like I was sketching again. But this is my style. I love quick work. So I'm not thinking too much just doing my thing. You may like to call or fully. So you just do whatever you feel is right for your design. Now the phase of the rabbit with another shade of brown and sketching. Beanies fit. I want my bunny to have a pink cheeks just to make these little creatures so queued. And then I'm using the same paint to color, or let's say start coloring Easter eggs, which will take me awhile. But still, I'm feeling so relaxed and I loved the process. So please enjoy, choose the best colors. I mean, your favorite colors. And just enjoy the moment of free creation. I really hope you enjoyed this class and I would love to see your history or your bunny designs illustrations. Please share with me. I would love to sit and comment. Also. I would love to hear your feedback about the class formula. So thank you so much for joining this class, and I hope we will see each other again and a new one.
