Bunny in a hat. How about that.

April 1, 2013 by Edlyn

bunny in a hat

I did these drawings after doing 40 arm curls which might explain why they’re a little lop-sided. A LITTLE?! Geez, you don’t have to be so critical. I tried! You should see my arms right now. They’re so..what’s the word I’m looking for..

Oh yea.

That.

Coincidentally, his mother’s name is Bunny too! I did not plan this out but I do love myself some happy coincidences.

Do you want to guess the bunnies this week? Of course you do! I don’t know what your prize will be this time but I’m sure I can pull something out of my hat. Get it? Hat. Bunny.

You are still reading, aren’t you?

You dolls.

I’m thinking of something and it begins with a “C”: Part 12

A big part of me wants to change the name of this drawing series. I think I’m almost up to a month’s worth of them and the title takes forever to type. I’m a bag of lazy bones. While I think about what the new title will be, here are two more of my creations.

They’re both related to food. Surprise! The first one is a drawing I made Gayle for her happy birthday and the second is related to my recently chocolate hoarding (This kind is mind-altering). It’s one of those things I have to do because I live with a sugar-crazy person who does not know how savour chocolate unless savoring means eating the whole bar.

His new name is husbandit.

My own mother gave me an idea for a cat drawing today. She read in the most rubbish paper in the universe that the board game Monopoly is getting rid of the “iron” counter and replacing it with a cat counter instead. I swear newspapers really know nothing better than how to waste precious space.

I think I’m going to go mad thinking of how to draw this one up.

Thanks a lot Mama!

Just kidding.

PS: I’m halfway through my “Can’t Live Without” Thursday post and I just can’t finish writing it right now. You know why?! Because it’s the first Thursday of the month and that means Art Walk in Seattle! I have to go take advantage of the free museums or I’ll just die. After that, this blog will be over. There’s always a point to it all.

Here I go, deviating from the cats but only by a little. These are just rough drawings I do in my little sketch book everyday. I don’t claim to be a genius artist unless I really have no other choice. I’m doing this to prove something to myself. The fact that I have you around for the ride is the added bonus.

High 5, friendses!

These past few days, I realises that I need to practice my lines. I’m still very shaky. If anyone wants to recommend a book or somewhere I copy drawings from, let me know. When I say “copy”, I don’t mean I’m going to pass it off as my own. I just believe we can learn a lot from those more experienced than us by doing what they do. I’m sure there was a point they also had some help and I can’t imagine why they wouldn’t like to be an inspiration if someone is not abusing the privilege.

Speaking of copying, that broccoli drawing is my own.

Speaking of copying AGAIN, I loved this closing scene from last night’s GIRLS episode. I loved the cinematography and as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to draw it. Never mind that I had no idea how I was going to accomplish the task. Since we have HBO On Demand (Wooooo), I could pause the scene. Which I did. And then I proceeded to watch Hannah sing Wonderwall over and over, followed by the closing credits of Liam Gallagher singing Wonderwall over and over.

Then I thought, “Okayyy, I guess I should draw now”.

So I did.

Then my husband walked into the room just as I finished and said: “What the hellllll….!?”

He didn’t even need to be there and I shouldn’t have to explain myself.

More soon.

I’m not lagging behind, don’t worry. Still cat crazy. I just couldn’t get these pictures up two days ago for two or three reasons that had nothing to do with my procrastination.

It’s the truth.

I’m going to try and go a little more off the beaten path now because I feel like I’m thinking too one-dimensionally while drawing. It will be a good brain exercise and great for my creativity, I’m sure.

Back to the drawing board!
