Easter Egg Hunt

This month I have been using Flexmarkers, my friend Jay had done a sketch of a Bunny girl, and very kindly allowed me to use it. I changed it up slightly until I ended up with this outline. 



I started with her ears, blending warm greys with pinks, added flicks of colour to the outer edges to give an impression of fur. 


I wanted to go for a 50's poster kind of feel, so I looked at colours of clothing from that era, and started to block in the clothing. 


I then filled in the body, again with pinks and greys, using very small ovelaid strokes to give texture. 




I added some details with a white pen. 


I continued filling in the fur and clothing, including the socks and shoes. 


Next I worked on the fence, blending dark brown in the corners and medium brown in the main areas. To give it the sun bleached effect I went over it with yellow. 


I used 3 greens behind the fence, remember further away will be lighter so use the pale green at the top and the darker green at the bottom. I blended yellow and orange into a double border. 


I added in the speech bubble and the main text, turning this into a poster for an easter egg hunt. 



Some final outlining with a grey fineliner and it's done. 



I have some Flexmarkers to give away.
