Selected simple Miss Bunny, with white hair, long ears, a violet cape and simple eyes

01 / THE SAME BUNNY

A familiar face, in every medium.

After exploring a more elaborate design, we returned to the first, simpler direction. Long ears, white flowing hair, a violet cape, and simple eyes keep Miss Bunny recognisable across media.

02 / THE VISUAL FAMILY

Meet her visual family.

Classic colour, pencil, flat shapes, 2D, watercolour and a finished storybook treatment gather in one portrait. A gently bobbing and swaying loop brings the visual family together.

03 / PENCIL FIRST

Start with a pencil.

Exploratory lines, light shading and different gestures help us find the silhouette, expression and relationships before choosing colour and texture.

04 / A WORLD TO DRAW

A castle, a sketch, a little imagination.

A little artist stands at her easel, drawing Bunny. A distant castle, mountains and a lake carry those few lines into a much larger story world.

06 / THE EXPLORATIONS

The studies along the way.

These studies document the choices along the way. The more elaborate second Chibi direction remains part of the archive; the first, simpler direction is the current basis for further work.

Bunny 的创作手记：从几笔线条，长出一个世界。

这次，我们让同一个兔小姐在不同画法里相遇：线稿、sketch、少色平涂、2D、水彩，再到完整插画。

反复打版之后，我更喜欢最初那种简洁、国际化的感觉：白色卷发、长兔耳、紫色披风，眼睛只留下简单线条和眼珠。把这些特征留住，她就能走进书页、贴纸和新的故事。

于是有了这张画法全家福，也有了站在欧洲童话城堡前、认真画 Bunny 的小女生。城堡写生是一幅概念插画；动画记录的是这次视觉探索。

创作方向：Joyce Mi；AI 辅助视觉探索与动画合成。

One Bunny. Many ways to create.

Our latest Miss Bunny studio study moves from a few simple lines to pencil sketches, spot colour, 2D, watercolour and finished illustration.

After exploring a more elaborate direction, I returned to the first silhouette: white flowing hair, long ears, a violet cape, and simple eyes. Those familiar details let the same character travel between books, stationery and new story worlds.

Meet her visual family, then follow a little artist imagining Bunny in front of a European fairy-tale castle. The castle scene is concept art.
