Description
Meet Buzz
My contribution to a bit of whimsy thought up by *goldenSalamander ...a combination bee and rabbit. We decided to swap media just to add to the confusion and fun...hers is done in digital, mine traditional media. Ok. I did cheat after all, Sandi, I cleaned up the lines on the rabbit, palette and foreground a bit with a digi conte crayon 
I wanted it darker than I could get with my Artline pen, but didn't want to break out the big bad quill pen that I always drip ink out of...Those are hummingbird eggs btw, small enough for a bun-bee to carry, fit neatly in a thimble and a good size for a fairy's Easter egg hunt
You can find Sandi's BunnBee here [link] Ain't she sweet?
Thanks for the challenge and the fun, Sandi
It came at a good time, as my husband was busy updating my computer to Vista today...Traditional work couldn't have come at a better time!

lol so sweet. I am a beequeen in the summer making honey, I will look after close to see if I can find Mr Buzz in any of the bee houses, if he travels so far up north

Well, it was fun...but I think I overworked the paper, it wasn't picking up anymore colour by the time I finished with it. I wonder if a different type paper wouldn't work better...this was just basic sketch paper, and a bit slick.
Watercolour pencils are fun, tho, tried some out recently

LOL! Thanks...I'm glad there's at least one bee you don't mind (I used to play with them when I was a kid, how weird is that??? I had a bee obsession for awhile!)

Hehe, what a cute idea =^_^=
Looks like a children illustration (no, not made BY a child, but FOR children 
Um, the one getting the egg from the hummingbird.... it doesn't have any wings?

I asked him "What's wrong with this picture? Something's missing..." and in 30 seconds he spotted it
So why didn't I?!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's a easy mistake to make
Oh, and knowing there's a mistake makes it much easier to spot it
If you hadn't mentioned anything, he might not have noticed either =^_^=

Ah, it was great tho...we both got a huge laugh out of it. It's good to see your parents aren't perfect and that they laugh at their mistakes...made our day more enjoyable

Um. *Cough*...
Well.
That's what's known as a Levitating Blue Banded BunnBee, m'dear, they're quite common in Australia 
No. It's true!
Damn it, YES, I forgot to give it wings! I love it, that's funny 
I now start our school day with clear knowledge of my fallibility, and will point this out to my son for him to giggle at with me

Oh, but it's a BunnBee, it's jumping!

Hey, that's right...I'm going to hire you to write my excuses from now on, why didn't *I* think of that???

Oh, I'm the girl for the job *rubs hands with a evil smile*
I know all about excuses

Oh, they're cute! Yours look more like a variety of bee than mine. Congratulations! Mine looks more like an animal created by a committee.......which sort of goes along with some of Australia's critters, now that I think about it.

Aw, thanks Sandi
Hey, your idea about the magical eggs sounds like it would make an interesting Easter story, eh???
I still like yours better, the composition is nicer...but it WAS fun redoing the blue banded bee this way
I loved this, Sandi, thank you for the fun and inspiration...we have to do this again sometime!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL I agree, this was fun. I don't know about the composition, though, LOL since I just made it up as I went along.......of course part of the decisions were made in the 2 earlier false starts, so that I started this one out with, oh, um I think I should go ahead and put some eggs up there........and luckily I could pick Betty up and move her to the left with the mouse when I realised there wasn't enough space for the egg, so..................but I just sort of scattered the flowers around the edges and she ended up bigger than I meant.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, we should do this again...we'll see if inspiration strikes 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've always had that inspiration problem, and right now...............: I want to do 2 more drawings to go with Nod, in my gallery, two ink line drawings of a boy playing baseball and his dog, to go with another drawing, and illustrate another poem, all to send with other prints to prospective book publishing art directors looking for work and I need to finish the 16 drawings for the author of Shahly's Quest, and that doesn't even get to what I WANT to do for me........and I'm starting a job, I guess. Lowe's had me come in for a drug test yesterday, so it looks like I'm getting hired for something, I just don't know if it's check out or floor work.

I'm not sure what I think of it yet...still having trouble figuring out where the buttons are, but other than that it's not too bad. I guess it helps having a computer dude sitting at my elbow when I need help
