… a designer. He’s inspired by his own elegance. He’s not afraid to get his big back feet dirty and be crafty. If he needs to chew something to get the design right, he’ll do it. His design sense is especially focused on the removal of hard edges — Fury likes soft curves and organic shapes. Even though his styles may sell at retail for hundreds of dollars, his materials are mostly plant matter and paper.

For example, here are a few of his works:

Fury chose the carpet colors for his burrow by chewing on some carpet tiles and not others. Fury has even helped other rabbits design livable spaces — for instance, it’s a big no-no to decoupage anything that’s going to go in a rabbit’s burrow with a reptile and snake pattern.

Fury is also kind and will always lend a paw to help in any design challenge you might have.

Given all these traits, Fury is most like the famed designer Todd Oldham.

For anyone who hasn’t sent out holiday cards yet, here’s a useful lesson for you. Study hard and we’ll be expecting a rabbit on ours! I liked it when he said, “I think the rabbit eyes are supposed to be further apart.” Nice. I already have a cartoon rabbit that I draw, that’s based on f&f, but it could use some refinement… maybe I’ll pick up some variations here.

(Really, I’m just kidding. I mean, who’d be sending Christmas cards at this late date?! Ok, I was kidding there too. I think we’re sending some, but super late. Maybe they’ll just have a new years theme.)

The website, idrawgirls.blogspot.com also has another tutorial for drawing an angry rabbit, in case you wanna draw frost. Or, if you wanna draw… girls.

I finally completed my first film. Thanks to Frost for her tremendous performance! She is a pleasure to work with.

Youtube made it a bit darker than it should be but I’m not sure it’s worth doing anything about.

Periodically, we do these little tests. We want to know if you can guess who painted each of these paintings. Was it Misa or Neb?

Painting #1, of Kyoto, Japan

Painting #2, of Amsterdam, Netherlands

Post your guesses in the comments. Commenters with the correct answer get the pure satisfaction of being right.

They tickle. Frost is next; she will be even harder I think. Also, taking photos of paintings is itself difficult; I think this is a bit more whited out than in the painting.

We skipped the last figure drawing post.

Here are the drawings from last week.

My drawing is on the right. During class, it looked fine. But afterwards the chest looks like it has a mini beer keg under the skin. How did I screw it up so badly?

Week 2. This guy was hard to draw. And also the angle is so screwy that everything is foreshortened. It was pretty much a nightmare. But still, here are the results, for your inspection.

The genius is in the bald spot. Look for it there.
Also: The naughty bits only show up in blue states. Hopefully the filtering is functioning correctly.

Misa convinced me to go to a Figure Drawing class in Palo Alto. It was a little nerve wracking because I haven’t drawn anything in like 7 years, but it was actually a lot of fun. The people and teachers at these classes are really friendly and it’s quite interesting to see the different styles that people use, from charcoal, to chalk, to colored cray-pas type things. Some people just draw the head, or use lots of strange colors, or make it half color and half charcoal.

Here are our best drawings from the first class. If we get better, maybe we’ll post more as the class progresses. Misa has been wanting me to try oil painting for a long time and now I’m starting to think I should.
