Rabbit

Once upon a time I was in Vienna on a school trip. But this isn't the interesting part for me, althought being in the city was really enjoyable and fascinating. We've been in two museums; Albertina and Belvedere. In Belvedere that time was a Klimt exhibition which was awesome despite the tons of annoying italian tourists who always stood right before me when I tried to draw something. Albertina was way better from that point of view, there weren't so many people. So, there was this rabbit, by Dürer. It is so so beautiful, the expression on it's face. I loved it! And yesterday i tried to draw it, with more or less succes.
On the other hand, from that point I started to see rabbits in an other way, not just as fluffy toys. In the school we learned that rabbits are leader animals as well. There is a Goddes whose main attachment is a Rabbit, the rabbit helps the dead get to their new land and then comes back, i think it also symbolizes the circle of life, that something always comes back to help others. Or something like that.
And as a movie reference I want to mention The Matrix. There is a girl who has a rabbit tattoed on her shoulder and Keanu has to follow her, he has to follow the rabbit which will save him, and show him a new world.

The lights not so good, but the entity can be seen.
I think the head is the best part on this drawing.

Á demain....
