in response to the previous comments that i must love birds since i've drawn so many here: i actually really dislike birds in the real world, but love to draw wings and feathers. i'm particularly fond of crows, even though they are intensely annoying birds.

so this time i decided to draw you all something i actually do love: bunnies!

Great realizm. My wife said: "It's alive". My son (age 4) says "Buy me such"
;)

golduck @ 2009-11-03 14:29:58

he looks like i could just pick him up and hug him :)

aka @ 2009-11-03 21:35:04

@tish: your son, young though he is, speaks with wisdom. indeed, you should buy him such; everyone deserves a bunny! ;-)

Serisia @ 2009-11-06 18:22:21

If I wasn't allergic to bunnies, I would want a bunny like this <3 He looks so soft~

thisfishflies @ 2010-02-03 01:43:13

I love how his little ears are all pulled back. This reminds me of a rabbit I had years and years ago.

I had a lot of trouble with the eyes. i'm still not happy with them, but it's not worth fiddling with at this point. i think the head it also a little too wide? whatevs.

(edit) lightened the background just a tidge so the bird pops out a little more.

DreyaCira @ 2009-10-25 09:48:42

Truly terrifying. But it looks awesome. The eyes and the open mouth especially, although the feather texture is also very realistic. I'm still in shock just from the pose.

angel ran @ 2009-10-25 11:10:20

Wow, cool how you put so much texture in even though it is such a dark picture! Very striking XD Like......it's gonna bite me!! D:

golduck @ 2009-10-25 20:35:41

i really like your style! youre so good at birds! :)

Lotuslight @ 2009-10-29 18:45:17

I like the perspective of the beak... very cool

Great job

DreyaCira @ 2009-10-25 09:49:55

Looks great. You love drawing birds, don't you? I like its cute little legs, it almost has a mischievous look in its eye.

Lotuslight @ 2009-10-29 18:47:02

So cute :) Kawaiiiii ... vivid colors and great proportions.

golduck @ 2009-10-15 16:34:18

Just a random wolf ;)

DreyaCira @ 2009-10-10 01:07:51

Ooh, very mystical. Almost looks like a wolf spirit or something. The lineart is very clean, and the coloring smooth. I really like the dark trees and bright glowing moon. Great job.

Miss_Bear @ 2009-10-10 14:04:27

:o! This caught my eye from the front page. Really great job with the contrast. The outline looks a little jagged but doesn't take much away from the whole.

Very spooky!

PaintBBS

aka @ 2009-10-06 01:51:34

much simpler than the last. quick doodle from one of the many crow refs i have on my hard drive.

DreyaCira @ 2009-10-12 18:56:01

This guy is cute as well. I like his stance and the sketchy shading.

PaintBBS

aka @ 2009-10-05 01:01:33

not so sure about the back wing. couldnt find a decent reference.

tish @ 2009-10-05 15:59:16

I found it beautiful. But I cannot explain why :

DreyaCira @ 2009-10-05 19:54:05

Oooh, I love crows...The design is so simple, yet artfully done. The black and white is striking.

wow thats beutiful!

TisForTwee @ 2009-10-02 22:31:40

This is beautiful. I really like how the different colors blend into one another. Very pretty.

DreyaCira @ 2009-10-02 22:43:54

They are such colorful birds! Great job with texturing and the bright colors. The eye looks particularly sharp and bright.

tish @ 2009-10-03 16:19:04

Great job. Very colorful indeed ;)

Miss_Bear @ 2009-10-03 19:33:34

Oh my, how gorgeous. Aren't these the smallest birds in the world?

aka @ 2009-10-04 01:43:13

according to google, the smallest bird species is the Bee Hummingbird (or Zunzun).
glad you all liked it ;)

PaintBBS

tish @ 2009-09-27 12:55:32

for the club, ref googled

golduck @ 2009-09-27 16:28:17

thats a very nice cockatoo, the feathers on his head look like those native American headdresses :)

DreyaCira @ 2009-09-27 20:16:17

I'm glad you drew one of the pink ones. I love the texture you pulled off.

Shi Painter

golduck @ 2009-09-14 22:27:43

first attempt at realism, not too pleased with it, anyway its for the club

DreyaCira @ 2009-09-14 23:16:33

Although it's showing up randomly as a lizard on the front page for me, I can see it while I'm commenting. You did a great job with the shading! The beak in specific looks really good.

tish @ 2009-09-15 01:42:34

Yes, the shading made it look 3d :)

Shi Painter

DreyaCira @ 2009-09-14 21:48:14

Quick cockatoo for the club. I was surprised how many different kinds there are...

Aw, he's a cute puppy. Looks kinda like a rabbit. I like that you included shadows, and the clouds look nice.
