Sketchbook: Digital Painting

Ta-da!  My first attempt at digital painting!  While I am not altogether satisfied with this piece, I am not entirely discouraged either (or else you would never see it).  It was fun, but honestly took more time then I would like to admit and I am not sure when I will be at leisure to attempt again.

The digital illustration was based off of this sketch (below), originally thought of while in the car (a bumpy sketch was quickly adventured), and finally drawn that evening while visiting my parents.

 

This piece (in color) is available in my etsy shop as a set of note cards! (also available with a blue dress)

Nerdy Bunnies

Here is a piece that I have toyed around with for a little bit now—an adorable little bunny with over sized glasses on.  I'll add some of my sketches for the piece once I locate them, though this piece had very little sketching before the first application, and I think that it was largely due to the musing that I dedicated to it before I finally put pencil to paper.

Here is my first version, done in prismacolor colored pencils:

Unfortunately, my haste in creating the bundle of fur without fore-thought shows through in this piece.  Also, the little ended up looking more fearful than I originally intended—I was intending more of a surprised look, the kind that might happen when magnifying glasses are suddenly slipped onto one's nose.  I did not lose hope and after some time had passed I created another piece that reflects a spirit of the mischievousness, which I love:

I'm also lovin' the green in those specks.

But in the end, it's the viewer who gets the final say.  So... what do you think, my dear viewer?
