Description

A prelude to my newest work. This one is also from Decemberish 2004, my last batch of drawings before now. I've decided to include as a sneak pick at some of the things I'm working on, namely fancy designs on dresses, and a wing motif in the accessories. I hadn't drawn a lop-eared rabbit in forever, if ever, so here is a black lop and a red-haired kitty of winginess.

This piece is also one that foreshadows my new deeper shading style. I went a little darker on the whites and used some deeper colors than usual. I really like how the red hair came out on the kitty. Red is a tricky hair color for me to shade, as I don't like to get it too brown and muddy, but want it to have some value change. Fortunately my new scanner differentiates between reds much better than my old one.

Brand new things should be up in the next three to four days. I keep penciling and inking instead of coloring, so I have about 30 pieces in the works :P Including my DeviantID of my new avatar form, yay!

I used Pigma Micron 005 for the inked outlines, Prismacolor colored pencils for the color, and white gel pen for the texture and highlights. The paper is beige memory book paper. I scan the drawings into my computer, so that makes the colors a little smoother than they really are.
