How to draw a bunny step by step
- Head. Draw a round head, a little wider than it is tall.
- Ears. Draw two long ovals on top of the head for the ears, leaning slightly outward.
- Body. Under the head, draw a big oval for the body.
- Feet and paws. Draw two big flat ovals at the bottom for the feet, and two small ovals on the front of the body for the front paws.
- Tail and belly. Draw a small fluffy circle with a bumpy edge on the right side for the tail, and an oval belly under the paws.
- Face. Draw an oval inside each ear, two eyes with dark pupils, a small triangle nose, a mouth, two whiskers on each side and two toe lines on each foot.
Long ears are what make it a bunny. If your drawing looks like a bear, make the ears longer and thinner.
Easy bunny drawing: common mistakes and fixes
- The ears are too short. Make each ear almost as tall as the head.
- The body is the same size as the head. Make the body bigger and rounder than the head.
- The feet are hidden. Draw the feet just under the body so they stick out at the bottom.
- The tail is a plain circle. Give it a bumpy edge so it looks fluffy.
Trace, practice, then color
Trace it first
If drawing freehand feels hard, start with the tracing page. Go over the grey lines with a pencil, pressing lightly, and you learn the shapes and their order without worrying about mistakes. Then try again on the practice sheet.
Practice on the grid
The practice sheet has a small finished bunny for reference and two boxes with a faint grid. Count how many squares wide and tall the reference is, then draw your bunny the same way. The grid keeps the parts the right size next to each other.
Color the finished drawing
Bunnies come in white, grey, brown, black and spotted. Color the inner ears and the nose pink, the belly a little lighter than the body, and leave a white dot in each eye.
Bunny drawing tips for kids
- Turn one ear down to give your bunny a floppy-eared look.
- Add a carrot, a flower or an Easter egg for the bunny to hold.
- Draw a few bunnies of different sizes for a bunny family.
