Digital art_2022. Spring gift for friends

Hi friends!

It was another round of art contest on Golos.
It was necessary to draw a premonition of spring

I had an old sketch, which I decided to finish drawing, because it corresponded to the stated theme.
Open it in Paint Tool SAI 2

In the original version, the hare simply looks into the outlet of the bear's lair.
But I decided to change the story in the process of drawing

As usual, first I select the color palette
The snow will be loose in spring

And in the lair where the bears sleep, it is cozy and warm, so here I used warm shades.

I didnt like the initially chosen colors, and I made the inner area of the lair even warmer.
And changed the pose for the hare

I add a spring forest to the background and the interior in the lair - a pendulum clock, a hemp table, shadows and folds on the blanket and plant roots on the "ceiling"

When I have outlined the chiaroscuro on the characters, I start to paint the fur with the same colors.
The bears

The hare
Yes, he brought a gift to his friends and lowers it on a rope into the vent

And what is this gift?
Ah... a bouquet of snowdrops!
Their aroma will fill the den, and the bears will wake up

Then I decided to apply the ground texture to the inner area of the lair.
Ans drop shadows from the things and the characters

Finally color correction in Photoshop
It turned out such a spring story

Have a nice and creative spring day to all
Regards
