How to Draw a Bunny Step by Step
-
Draw the head and body
A circle for the head overlapping the top of a larger egg shape for the body — a sitting bunny is nicely compact.
-
Add the long ears
Two tall, narrow leaf shapes rising from the head, one tilted or folded for charm. Add an inner-ear line following each outline.
-
Draw the face
Two round dot eyes wide apart, a small Y-shaped nose-and-mouth in the center, and a hint of round cheeks.
-
Tuck the front paws
Two small bumps at the front base of the body — sitting bunnies barely show their front paws.
-
Add the haunch and tail
A big round haunch curve on the body's side with a hind foot peeking forward, and a fluffy cotton-ball tail on the back.
-
Whiskers and fluff
Erase guides, flick short whiskers from the cheeks, and break the outline with tiny fur strokes on the chest and haunch.

Tips for Better Bunny Drawings
- Ears carry the whole bunny: make them longer than the head is tall — always longer than feels right — and let one bend. Equal stiff ears read as a cat with antennae.
- Compare proportions to something you know: how many heads long is the body? Where do the legs attach? Two measurements taken early save twenty corrections later.
