Ah, it's the last day of summer, and with that colder weather and the end of ice cream trucks for the year. All BLK wanted was one more twist with jimmies, but the truck didn't stop. So a little bit magic and a an insatiable appetite has made this bunny's last run of the year a liter run for his life.
I'm really happy with this picture. I drew it over a month ago, but just got around to shading it. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I did a lot of studying both looking at how others shade as well as a bunch of tutorials on selecting values for shade and highlight and it really shows.
Constructive Criticism encouraged.
Question Time:Two questions, both quick. What's your favorite flavor and or delivery method (chocolate hard ice cream in a pretzel cone)? What's art do you look up to as a bar you aspire to draw/paint/etc as well?

That is TOTALLY me when I see the Ice Cream Man! Drop EVERYTHING when I hear those bells!
There's so many ice creams to choooose from! I have a soft spot for the Strawberry Shortcake ice cream bars, with cakey coating! If I'm at an actual ice cream parlor though, I like... I dunno! The sweetest flavor they have?! >w<
Hewlett needs to start choooosing favorites and attach to them like a leech. I will help! We should probably aim to learn from someone just higher then our current skill level, not someone like
bodbloat or
Meanybeany. That would only be discouraging.

Nice work (and cute), but in my opinion, I think the anatomy needs work (well, in the pose and perspective).
As for your questions, I LOVE cherry cordial in a waffle cone, and I'd like to think Tetsuya Nomura's works are what aspire me to draw/sketch everyday (if that's what your asking about)!

Hahahahaha that's hilarious! I love the idea of that poor rabit trying to maneuver to escape a towering dragon thretening the entire stock of ice cream. Well, I honestly can't blame you: desperate times call for desperate measures!
My favorite ice cream is probably coffee flavor. However I do enjoy pecan, pistaccii and chocolate. Also I have a siginficant weakness for sorbets! Regardless pf the flavor, I always order them in a sugar cone, because those are the beeeest!
Now, when it comes to art, I don't like to compare myself to others and generally I strive to develop what I like to think of as my own style. However, I can't deny I draw inspiration from several artists both kn FA and outside of the fandom. Obviously I can only wish I could draw as well as
Gillpanda,
bangabear,
HectortheWolf,
Sugarboy or
Squeakie... but for now I'm focusing on improving my coloring, shadowing and the time it takes me to finish a pic. Baby steps, you know, baby steps...

Wow, there are some artists there I wasn't ever aware of. The question wasn't necessarily about direct comparison but some artists that you admire and like to work towards. That said those are some good choices. Gillpanda has an amazingly polished and professional style. Also as for improvements, I definitely could go for speeding up art without compromising quality 'cuz I'm a slow artist.
My goodness, look at him go! Ya'd better be putting your lucky feet on that gas pedal to the metal, mister bun, or BLK's gonna get you seeerved!
Favorite ice cream and method? Mint chocolate chip! In a simple bowl. I might have a weird taste but I'll never do it a weird way!
As for inspirations? Ummm... Well, I don't want to say I have any on this site, because I feel like the way I'm doing things is a bit unique. But if you made me choose, well, I really wouldn't know.
Probably that Blue guy, GravityInbound, Leinoti, GrineX's older pieces (before he got partnered up with Demont,) and since I've been lurking more I've seen a few other artists I've liked, but at my base level, those guys.

I do like mint chocolate chip as well (usually anything +chocolate works for me). I'll put that on top of the chocolate in the pretzel cone (the mint and pretzel don't mesh as well as straight chocolate, so I need the buffer. I'm probably making ice cream too complicated.
Favorite flavor: Moose Tracks! It's so rich and sumptious mmm!
And what a pic! I love it! It was fun watching you develop the shading into what it is. I liked that you fought with the pic until you got the arms and legs just right, which was cool because you're also so flexible about that!

Ahh! Forgot about Moose Tracks. That's my favorite, but I don't get it often because I like alone in my house and everything that comes into the house gets eaten my me, so I can't justify buying an entire tub.
As for the art, thanks! I'd rather get things looking right than be stubborn and not learn and improve from people's advice.
