🎨 How to Draw a Bunny – Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Draw the Head and Body
Start with a medium-sized oval for the head. Below it, draw a larger oval overlapping slightly to create the bunny's body.

Step 2: Add the Ears

Draw two long, curved ears at the top of the head. Make them soft and rounded for a cute look. You can even make one ear flopped over for extra charm!

Step 3: Draw the Face

Inside the head oval, add:

Two round eyes (you can leave a white dot inside each for sparkle!)

A small triangle nose

A “3”-shaped mouth or a “W” to form a sweet bunny smile

Optional: little whisker dots on each cheek

Step 4: Sketch the Arms and Feet

Draw two small curved arms on each side of the body oval. For the feet, sketch two simple oval shapes at the bottom – like bunny slippers!

Step 5: Add Final Details and Color

Add a little fluffy tail on the side or behind the bunny

Draw inner ear details using smaller ovals

Now outline your bunny with a black pen and erase pencil lines

Color your bunny with soft pastels like grey, white, light brown, or even pink!

💡 Bunny Drawing Tips:
Want to personalize it? Add a bowtie, a carrot, or a flower crown!
