Here's the first stage of the bunny.

I started with a pencil sketch, then went over it with ink. This is a little darker than the actual drawing so you can see it more easily.

I'll post again after I add the color.

5"x7" in Bee Watercolor Journal.

Donna, your bunny is spot on. The classic graphite drawing.
Liz, looks like a lot of work in that puppy! Beautifully executed. I’ve had issues with those head tilts before.
arttalk, what a sweet, soft kitten you’ve made.
Anne, great sketch of the bunny. Can’t wait to see colour added.

 

[Sanlynn]

I decided to try something different so I’ve chosen the fish. Watercolour (dark is granulated).

Lovely Sanlynn. Wonderful color choices and value contrast.

I added color to my rabbit using Intense.

 

[LizC]

Thanks Sanlynn, your fish looks well done.

Bunny looking good

Thanks Anne and Liz.
You’ve made your bunny look so soft, Anne.

Liz, thanks! I do like your dog portrait. I think he is very cute. Lovely greyish green grass is letting the dog show nice in the painting. If you think the ears are too big, the change for smaller can be very minor. Looks good to me.
When I first drew my lynx, I drew a dog instead of lynx but after an other effort it started to look more like a lynx.

Arttalk, thank you so much! Very nice digital portrait you have done! The kitty looks cute. Nice to see you joining the animal challenge
