Questions

How do I draw bunny ears?

Draw each ear as a long, narrow loop that starts at the top of the head. For floppy ears, let them hang down on the sides; for standing ears, draw them straight up. Step 5 shows floppy ears.

How do I draw a bunny face?

Draw two curved lines for closed eyes, a small nose in the middle and an open mouth with two front teeth under it. Step 6 shows where each part goes.

Is this bunny easy enough for kids?

Yes. It is built from simple shapes, and most kids from about 6 can follow it. Younger children can draw it together with a grown-up.

How long does it take to draw this bunny?

About 15 minutes for the outline. Coloring takes a little longer.
