How to Draw Rabbits
Rabbits are just plain cute. Drawing your own rabbit can be a great way to add some graphics to a class project. It can also be a fun family activity for children who are rabbit enthusiasts. The best way to draw a rabbit is to break it down into recognizable and simple geometric shapes and slowly layer details on top of this basic frame. Once you have identified the main shapes that compose a rabbit, you can use them as a template for all your future rabbit drawings and illustrations.

Tips & Warnings
Large eyes and fuzzy appearance are parts of what make a rabbit cute. Make sure you draw the eyes large. You can create fur with small curved triangular shapes on the body of the rabbit.
Be sure to let the ink dry before you start erasing the pencil, or the lines will smudge.
