How to Draw a Bunny – Let’s get started!
Step 1
Start by sketching the outline of the bunny’s face. Draw an irregular circle shape with the bottom part slightly wider than the top.
Bunnies naturally have chubby and fluffy cheeks. So, don’t forget to put emphasis on the cheeks as you draw the outline of the bunny’s face.
Here’s a useful tip: draw a vertical line and a horizontal line across your paper to serve as a reference line to ensure that the bunny’s face will be drawn in the very middle.
Step 2 – Draw the Outline of the Bunny’s Face
At the top of the bunny’s face, draw a pair of ears on each side of the face. The ears of the bunny pretty much look like an upside down letter “U”.
The bottom part of the ear connected to the bunny’s face should be narrow, while the middle part of the ear should be the widest, as shown in the illustration.
Bunnies are known for their distinctively large ears. So, make sure to make your bunny’s ears enormous to make it more realistic! Also, try to make the ears the same size as much as possible.
Step 3 – Attach a Body and an Arm to the Bunny’s Face
Now, that we have completed the outline of the bunny’s face, it’s time to draw the body.
Draw two curved lines right underneath the bunny’s face. The arms’ shape should be like a smaller version of the bunny’s ears we have drawn in the previous step.
In this illustration, you can see that the bunny’s arms are actually placed in the front of its body. However , you can position the bunny’s arms any way you want. You can draw the arms positioned on the sides of its body, or even raised upwards.
Step 4 – Complete the Bunny’s Body
Afterwards, it’s time to draw the entire bunny’s body!
Using the previous step as a guide, extend the lines to create a full body. Then, draw a pair of feet with three toes each on both sides of the bunny’s body. One feet should be facing straight ahead, while the other one is facing sideways.
Keep in mind to make the body chubby to create an extremely adorable bunny!
Step 5 – Draw the Bunny’s Fluffy Tail
One of the most adorable features of a bunny is definitely its tail. And in this step, we’ll draw the bunny’s furry tail!
On the bottom part of the bunny’s back, draw multiple curved shapes connected together. When drawn correctly, it should look like a fluffy cotton ball. Remember, the tail is positioned at the bottom of the bunny, so it should be only visible halfway through.
Step 6 – Add Patterns to the Bunny’s Body
Now, it’s time to add the intricate details on the bunny’s body to make it look more realistic.
Let’s start by adding patterns within the bunny’s ears. Using the outline of the bunny’s ears that we’ve drawn in the second step as a guide, draw a smaller outline inside each of the bunny’s ears.
Remember, the second outline must be a bit smaller than the first outline of the bunny’s ears. This will make the bunny’s ears appear more realistic.
Step 7 – Next, Draw the Bunny’s Nose
Draw an upside down triangular shape in the middle of the bottom part of the bunny’s face. It should be positioned far from the forehead and near the chin.
In order to ensure that the nose will be drawn proportionally, draw reference lines across the bunny’s face to pinpoint the perfect spot for the nose.
Step 8 – Then, Draw the Bunny’s Eyes
Draw two big circles above the bunny’s nose. Afterwards, draw another two circles within the eyes. Afterwards, shade the eyes to complete the look.
Don’t forget to leave out the tiny circle inside the eyes unshaded to create the illusion of “gleaming eyes”.
To make sure the eyes are aligned and even, make sure that the nose is positioned below and right in between the eyes.
Step 9 – Afterwards, Draw the Bunny’s Mouth
Right underneath the nose, draw a small vertical line. From the tip of the vertical line, draw two curved lines on either side. When drawn correctly, it should look like a curvy letter “W”.
Here, you can see the cupcake is nearly finished! The only thing it’s missing is a dash of multiple colors to complete your bunny artwork!
Finally, here is the most exciting part—filling in the colors for your awesome drawing! This is the part where you can show off your artistic skills and your ability to mix and match various colors.
Bunnies exist in a wide range of colors, with white, black, brown, cream, fawn, and gray being the most common. Some bunnies even have distinct patterns across their fur. This gives you a lot of color options to choose from when coloring your bunny drawing.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with different colors. After all, it’s your work of art! Remember, the sky’s the limit to your imagination!
