How to Draw a Simple Bunny

Use real-world examples to get the shape right.

Knowing how to draw rabbits is a talent that could be useful if you want to make your own Easter cards or show off to your friends. Look at some photographs and images of rabbits before you begin drawing to examine the body shape. If you have a pet rabbit, use him as your inspiration.

Instructions

1. Draw a pear shape to represent the rabbit's body. The smaller, narrower section at the top will represent the rabbit's shoulders. The larger curve of the bottom will represent the rabbit's lower half and large, rounded knees.

2. Overlap the very top of the pear with an egg shape for the head. Position the egg on its side to give the impression that the rabbit is looking to the left, the narrower end of the egg representing the nose.

3. Create two long ears by drawing a line from the back of the head. Curve the line to the left and continue downward to meet the top of the head. Follow the line back up with and curve it to the left again before continuing down to meet the top of the head, no more than halfway from where you started the first ear. The two ears should be of equal width and should resemble a tall "m" shape.

4. Draw a circle for the eye and a short diagonal line up from the nose. This represents a side view of the nose and should resemble a "/". Add whiskers. Draw two "u" shapes next to one another at the point where the pear goes from narrow to wide. This will represent the rabbit's small, front feet. Draw two semicircles, one either side of the pear's bottom, the flat edges facing downward. These will be the feet.

5. Erase any unwanted lines and color the rabbit.
