How to make Easter Bunnies for Easter decorations.

 
How to make Easter Bunnies for Easter Decorations.
 
In many countries kids are on vacations for Easter,
if you are looking for some activities to keep them busy, you might have already at home all the materials you need to make these Easter Bunnies.
 
You will need:
1. Some toilet paper rolls
2. Coloring pencils
3. Black marker.
 
If your kids are small, you can draw the bunnies on the toilet paper rolls, then give them to color them.
But if your kids are great artist they will make some great drawings for Easter, let them do all the work, you will get great Easter Art to display in your home.
 
Here are some steps you might want to follow:
 
Clean off all toilet paper from the rolls.
Draw with pencil first the bunnies, then mark them down with black marker.
 
 
Start coloring, you can start coloring lightly,
 
Then, add more color, as the Easter bunnies are most of the time white, I colored the background,
 
Hope you like this activity for your kids,

#doodleadaymarch
 
What could be nicer than an arch made out of flowers,
 
Hope your weather is nicer than here, for the second day of Spring we have a chilly day, -15C and feeling of -20C.
Sun is shinning, I remember one day, a few years ago, it was my first time here in Canada, after the long winter, I saw through the window sun was shinning, I didn't think a moment, I grabbed my coat and I ran outside, "Sunshine!" I just wanted to feel some sunshine on my face, -what? it was so cold I had to run back inside!!
 
I learned my lesson, now I check twice the temperature before heading out, warmer days will be here soon!
 
Have a beautiful day!

How to make a small forest.

Forest

It's not hard to make a small forest for your home, as Forest is the word for today for #doodleadaymarch,

All you need is to draw a few trees on a piece of paper, if you have at home thicker paper than regular paper, that will help.

Once you finish to draw your trees, cut them out, find a little container to place them in, and voila, you have your own forest to have it at home.



If you find this idea easy and cute to make, make as many forest as you want to, I'm sure they will look nice anywhere you place them.

Take care and have a nice day.

C is for Crocodile,

 
C is for Crocodile
 
I'm taking part of #doodleadaymarch and today's word is reptile,
can't draw Miss Fox with a crocodile, this crocodile was not easy to turn down on eating meat!
 
Miss Fox is happy I didn't draw her with this crocodile.
 
Think, would be a good idea to draw a full ABC of animals.
 
if you like to draw, you can join the Drow A Doodle March, you can share your daily doodles on your blog or at your Facebook.

Take care and have a nice day!

How to make a Miss Fox Illustration.


Miss Fox and the Dent de Lion

Miss Fox is a little Fox, gentle, always happy, just retired of the forest life, she really likes small town life, lately she has decided to live with 3 little blue birds, this has taken to Miss Fox to quit on eating meat.

No need to worry about the little birds, the four of them live happy together, yes in my house!

It's always nice to work on a new illustration of Miss Fox, lately, as the weather feels warmer, Miss fox just woke up from the long and deep zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz time.

Has been playing and dancing on my desk, looking to bring some joy to my friends and family.

As you can see drawing a Miss Fox is not hard for me, I just need to get in my studio, grab a pencil and a piece of watercolor paper, and Miss Fox is already there, first I do the sketch with pencil, then I draw it with a permanent marker, and let it dry.

While it was getting dry, my mom and one of my sisters came to the studio and we had a chat, oh yes, the beautiful white cat of the house can't miss a good chat, but look!!

What an attitude this white cat has, in the middle of the chat, just went to place her whole body on Miss Fox!! , think Miss Fox was not happy at all!! , oh well, what can I do!

This morning, when Miss Fox, permanent ink is dry, I started to work with the watercolors, one coat at the time, until I like how Miss Fox looks like. Watercolor sometimes I need to let it dry between coats.


When I like how Miss Fox looks, I let her dry completly, then it's time to get a pair of scissors and cut Miss Fox our.


The last step is to turn around the bottom of the illustration and Miss Fox is ready to stand up and bring some joy on a desk or on a night table, anywhere you want to put Miss Fox on.

This time Miss Fox is a special order, the lucky owner asked me Miss Fox blowing to a Dent de Lion, making some wishes up?,



If you like what you see here, and you want to know more about Miss Fox and what I'm working on, follow my Facebook Page, my Pinterest Illustration board!

Take care and have a very nice day!

See you soon with more Miss Fox adventures!

Large, what to do if you find a large daffodil in your garden.

 

Large
 
Miss Fox got up early this morning,
as the weather is warmer, she was so happy to find a LARGE daffodil in her garden.
#doodleadaymarch
 



The good thing about being an illustrator and be able to draw happy characters is to have happy things around the house.

I began to draw a doodle a day for March, today's word is LARGE, first thing to came up to my head was to see the little Miss Fox so happy to find a Large daffodil, in her garden!, her favorite flower.

When I make an illustration and I keep in on my sketch book, they will be there for long time, nobody will see them,

How to make an illustration everyone can enjoy it:

- Draw your illustration.
- Wait till it gets dry (when I use watercolor, color pencils, markers, it's better to wait untill the illustration gets dry before you start working with it)
- Cut it off, here an important thing to think about is how do you plan the illustration will stand up by it self. Work on it, this time, I just cut a long piece of paper on the bottom, I made one cut on each end and hooked both together, then I press a little to make the bottom round, this way, Miss fox can stand up by it self.
- Place your illustration some where in the house where everyone can see it.

An illustration is not only to be kept in a book, an illustration can be as many things as you want to, if you are an illustration, think on what you want your illustration to be!

Hope you get a nice and creative day, keep positive and happy.

If you find something nice and it makes you happy, leave me a comment and tell me about it. I'd love to read about it.
