"I wasn't doing anything... " - final image
In creating the illustration for this theme, I wanted to use as reference a photo taken in the arboretum, of a little white flower bush (don't know its name, unfortunately). I really liked the delicacy of the flowers and how dense they grew to each other, forming a white beautiful carpet.
Despite the beautiful setting though, I still didn't have a story. Simple pretty flowers were not good enough to make an interesting image. Something needed to happen there, so I started sketching some bunnies in the hope some idea will jump at me. And it did! It was that of a bunny looking straight up, like he's being caught in the act of doing something mischievous, and now he's playing the candid innocence card... low-lying ears towards the back, big wide eyes fixating on you without a blink, and of course mouth stopped from chewing...
That's how "I wasn't doing anything" line came up, and it kind of cracked me up... :)
