Rabbit character design for the course Character Design Sketchbook: Storytelling with Pencil

For my final project of the course Character Design Sketchbook: Storytelling with Pencil, I chose rabbits as a base for some cute illustrations.

I used erasable red pencils for sketching, a simple A4 sketchbook and finalized one of the characters with gouache and colored pencils at the end in a watercolor sketchbook.

I started with some studies of different kind of rabbits and included some plants, to make the sketchbook page a bit more interesting. I added some textures to highlight the fur.

I thought, a rabbit bakery could be a nice and cute theme, so I collected some props and clothes for it. Afterwards I drew some anthropomorphic rabbits with a simple standing pose, using some of the props for baking.

At the very end I chose one of the rabbit characters in order to add some colors with gouache. I added outlines and the fur texture with colored pencils.
