Finally the weekend! What a wait it felt like to get here. With it being the Easter weekend, I figured it'd be fitting to do some bunnies. I had hoped to make these for a family member and ship them out, but that didn't pan out. However, getting them painted is still better than not. BATTLE REPORT! Wins: * The butterscotch coloring I saw on some rabbits on Whidbey Island, I couldn't help but use as inspiration. Matching them to how they came out, I'd say was better than I expected. * Using very, very simple colors and just pushing the colors up with mixing them worked great! * Making the details come out more by using very faint streaks of diluted paint worked great to give the impression of individual hairs sticking through. I think this will be used in other models I do as well. * Eyes have a nice pop to them, but was thinking some more color would be good. Misses: * I was thinking of putting some wash in there to bring forward the creases, but I didn't want to lose that fun color. Any suggestions? * The eyes have a strangeness to them by highlighting the eye lids. Would you all suggest doing dark instead of light around the eyes? * Speaking of eyes I wasn't sure if putting a spot of white in there was good or not, so I held off. Pretty happy with how this little bunny came out.
