A New Digital Art Project Pack 🎀 Dressed Up Bunny Drawing (Patreon)

Hello Bluebells 🌷

I wanted to pop in and share with you a new drawing that you can download below as a project pack!

I used a prompt from my free daily prompt community The Quiet Artist Club which is technically for tomorrow but I thought I'd draw it early so I can post it on Instagram - the prompt is 'red ribbons' so I drew a little bunny on his way to a date wearing his biggest and brightest ribbon hehe 💖🎀

You can download all of the assets for this illustration below, and either use them as a tool to see how I construct my art, or use them as a kit to recreate this artwork on your own. Just keep in mind that any recreations can be for personal use only.

You'll find in this post:

With the prompt 'red ribbons' I knew that I didn't want to just draw ribbons on their own, I wanted to draw some kind of character wearing ribbons, and I just thought it would be really cute for it to be a huge ribbon!

So I decided on a bunny because I thought a bright red ribbon would contrast nicely with the white fur, and started sketching a really simple character wearing a huge ribbon.

Then I asked myself why they would be wearing such a big ribbon and thought they might be going on a date - so I dressed them in quite formal clothes and gave them a flower to hold.

I didn't draw a scene around them, I thought they looked dapper enough on their own and I like the little story behind where they're going 🤭💖

So here are the main steps of my process broken down into images.

First, I drew a sketch:

Then I coloured in all of the main elements, using the sketch as a reference:

I then added details, shading and texture over those base layers:

This was a really simple illustration - you'll be able to see how the layers are broken down in the .psd file below - there are really just a handful of layers for the base colours and then clipping mask layers attached to them for texture and details.

These are the brushes I used (from my brush packs):

Soft Canvas Pencil - for colouring the base shapes and drawing the details

Textured Pencil (regular version and light version) - for adding texture to everything

Smooth Shading - I just used this for the fine details of the face because the canvas pencil is a bit too heavily textured for that sometimes

Colour Palette (also attached below):

I hope you enjoy this little guy as much as I do!
