Step-by-Step Bunny Drawing Instructions
Step 1: Draw the Bunny’s Head
Start by drawing a round oval shape in the middle of your paper. This will be the bunny’s head. It can be a little wide or tall, don’t worry about making it perfect.
Pro tip: If you’re drawing with younger kids, you can use a circular object (like a lid) to trace the basic shape first.
Step 2: Add the Bunny Ears
On top of the head, draw two long ears. You can make them straight up or a little floppy. Add a smaller oval shape inside each ear for extra detail.
Step 3: Draw the Face
Inside the head, draw two small circles for eyes, a tiny triangle nose, and a little “W” shape for the mouth. You can also add two curved lines above the eyes for eyebrows.
Step 4: Sketch the Bunny’s Body
Below the head, draw a wide oval for the body. Make it a bit bigger than the head and let it connect at the bottom of the head.
Step 5: Add Paws and Feet
Draw two short front paws by adding two curved lines under the head. Then add two big oval feet peeking out from the bottom sides of the body.
Step 6: Fluffy Tail Time
Draw a small puffball on the side of the body for the tail. You can make it super fluffy with zigzag lines or just a soft circle.
Final Details: Time to Outline and Smile
Now that your bunny is drawn, you can go over your pencil lines with a black marker to make them bold and clean. Erase any extra sketch lines.
Want to make your bunny even cuter? Try adding a smiley face, blush cheeks, or even a tiny carrot in its paw!
Time to Color!
It’s time to bring your bunny to life. Color your bunny gray, brown, white or get creative with rainbow colors. Add a pink nose or blush on the cheeks if you like. It’s all up to you!
