Pirate Cat finished

I hope my grandpa likes it :)

I've drawn this for his birthday because I never know what to give for his birthday.

As a child you used to draw something as a gift, so why wouldn't I do that too? :)

I drew my grandparent's cat.

Their cat doesn't like being on their boat and she is really fat.

That's how I came up with a fat pirate cat ^-^

Pirate Cat (w.i.p)

Powerpuff Girls

I wanted to draw the Powerpuff Girls in my own poses + a character in the same style. So, I ended up with a Powerpuff Harmke presented by the other Powerpuff Girls :)

First I drew it on paper with a pencil, than vecorised it in Adobe Illustrator.

WIP2

I tried to add shadows and highlights in Photoshop on a character I created in Illustrator. First time I actually did this haha. I'm not sure how to add shadows/highlights to the tail...

sketching

Playing and practising with the final design :)

New stuff!

First a walky ^_^
Because the bunny I'm going to animate has short legs and some what big feet, I tried this out:
WARP!
I had some troubles with uploading, so that's why it's in a link...


Then, a sketch of Mick (the bunny of Mitch' parents)



And probably the final sketch of how Mac is going to look like in the animation! WHOOOHOO!!!

Doodles

Just doodled some bunnies.
They're al quite the same style and pose.
Seems like I can't let go...

Second clay-experiment

Because I don't want model to be destroyed when it gets out of the oven... I decided that my model sits down. So I gave it another shot:

Other angle:

Fimoclay
(I can bake that in my own oven!)

@the background you see the ears of the bunny :( they don't want to be glued on the bunny's head :(. I'm gonna make an other one tomorrow...

The real bunny (Mac!):

He's soooo cute ^_^

my first clay experience!

I'm so proud of myself hahaha!

Never thought I should/could/would do this, but I JUST DID IT!

Reactions please :)

More clay-stuff tomorrow.

Expressions

I tried to apply some expressions on my bunny last days.
I photographed the sketches because my scanner is *#(#*@...
So I'm sorry for the gradient on the photo's ;)
Here we go!

Random:

Sad:

I was not quite sure about how to let the ears drop down.
What do you think about the curve at the chin to suggest a sad mouth?

Arrogant:

Also troubles with the ears!
Should I point them to the direction the bunny looks or in the opposite direction?

Random (innocent, scared & happy):

Random (normal, happy & in love):

Find it difficult to draw an happy bunny.
There is no mouth, so I can't draw a smile.
I tried to make it clear by making the nose wider, eyes closed, ears in the air & high eyebrows.

Random:

Gasping:

Star Wars!

I watched Star Wars all over the weekend, so I had to do this one ;).
It's not a great pose, but well.. I think it's allright for now.
(I wish it was more powerfull, more exaggerate... but I'm gonna work on that!)

Tips, tricks & feedback are welcome :)

character-studies

Hooray!
I made it to create a character finally!
After watched a lot of inspireing design/art/stuff, I started sketching again.
The previous sketches I made were based on nothing.. actually they're doodles or something.
But they are absolutely not useless!
Before started sketching again, I watched these doodles again and decided what I (dis)liked.

Decisions:
- simple construction
- no mouth (character is not speaking anyway...)
- and some more what I can't remember right now O:)

First some sketches for a face:


Then I got hungry, so time for something to eat!
After a nice spring roll ^_^ I went back to my paper & pencil.



Number 16 looked nice to me.
So I made my decision.
Number 16 is my sweet little bunny! ^_^

Then I tried to create a body for my bunny, 'cause only a face is not enough ofcourse.
The Preston-Blair-book helped me out.
I took the character of the squirell and applied his bodyconstruction and poses to my bunny:



I think I still have problems with copying poses and using line of action. Maybe you see other things I need to improve, so tell me!
Feedback pleaaaaase!
