A rabbit called Speedy. Drawing in ballpoint pen

April 17, 2015

Here’s a drawing of a rabbit – but not any rabbit. This is Speedy the cheeky house bunny whom I was requested to draw.
Don’t hesitate to send me requests – but please be aware that I have a queue of 16 (!) pets do draw (mostly cats!) – I can do one or two per day. I haven’t forgot anyone (I think?)

Speedy above looks like he’s just being disturbed in something important. Perhaps carrot consumption or the redecorating of his cardboard castle. He does look like he’s a good listener, though.

This drawing almost drew itself! I’m astounded how few lines you need to draw to make a bunny. Looking at it afterwards, i kept looking for places where I could do a lttle more, but sometimes you just need to stop before you destroy the drawing. I suppose that this one is in line with the sketch I made of Dakota the sheepdog the other day.

Anyway, this was my 448th drawing. See you for the next one.

Brilliant bunny drawing Thomas…… you’re right – it didn’t take a lot of lines to get Speedy on paper but I can really “see” his personality shining through – his little face is perfect!

That’s a completely charming drawing of a lovely bunny. I especially like the nose and mouth area.

    I have four feral children at home. Maybe I should request that you draw them as my “pets”. 😛

    lol ;).. well go ahead 😉 I don’t have a specific preference to draw pets, it just seems that that’s the only thing people ask me to draw ! – Humans can be really hard to get right though.. But maybe all the animal faces have made me improve my portrature skills a little..

    Maybe I will then. However, in going to let you catch up on your queue of drawing requests first.

    I’m a little worried about “catching up”.. hehe.. I still seem to get more requests than i can actually draw.. I haven’t really found a solution.. maybe at some point i’ll change it to a “maybe” queue and then only do the drawings i feel like doing the most, but I don’t really like refusing :/… I would like to have something else other than cats every now and then, though – so no need to wait really 🙂

    OK. Well I will look and see if I have a decent, clear photo of all four at once (it’s a challenge!) and you can add it to your queue. How do I submit an image to you?

    Also – and I’m aware this conversation is already pretty long – have you heard of the 100 Artworks challenge? It suddenly struck me that maybe it’s the type of thing you would be interested in as you could easily combine it with your daily drawings. The easiest way for me to tell you about it is link you to the relevant post on my art blog as it contains all the information and links:
