Easter Bunny Carrying an Egg Basket

For the kind of long Saturday session when you want a real character on the page. The bunny stands upright, mid-stride, carrying a wicker basket of pastel-patterned eggs on one arm and looking back over its shoulder. The stance is anthropomorphic — closer to a children's-book illustrator's pose than a wildlife reference.

The forest behind is dim and atmospheric, with a couple of decorated eggs hanging from bare branches like ornaments and small spring blossoms scattered along the ground. A storybook frame around a storybook moment.

The fur is rendered in long brushy strokes; the basket is a tight weave of small repeating shapes; the eggs in the basket are individual little compositions. Good fit for colorists who like a single hero figure in a softly lit scene.
