Step-by-Step Drawing Guide
Step 1: Draw the Outer Curve of the First Bunny Ear
Start with one tall, slim arch near the top of your page. Let the line rise up, round at the top, and come back down. Keep the bottom open so the ear can connect to the head later.
Pro Tip: Keep the ear tall and narrow, with a smooth rounded top.

Step 2: Complete the Ear Outline and Add the Inner Ear
Add a second, larger curved line beside the first one to form the full ear shape. Then draw a smaller, slimmer inner-ear curve inside. Leave the inner ear open at the bottom too.
Pro Tip: Keep an even gap between the inner ear and the outer edge.

Step 3: Add the Outer Curve of the Second Ear
To the right of the first ear, sketch one more tall arch for the second ear’s outer edge. Let it lean slightly outward for a natural look. Keep the bottom open again.
Pro Tip: Match the height of the first ear to keep the bunny balanced.
Alt Text: Two bunny ears appear; the left ear is finished with an inner ear line, and the right ear shows a single outer arch outline.
Step 4: Complete the Second Ear and Add the Inner Ear
Draw the second ear’s outer outline by adding a larger curved line around it. Then place a slim inner-ear curve inside, similar to the first ear. Try to keep the spacing neat and even.
Pro Tip: Make both inner-ear shapes similar for a tidy matching pair.
Alt Text: Two bunny ears with completed outer outlines; both ears now include a smaller inner ear curve inside.
Step 5: Draw the Round Head Shape
Under the ears, sketch a large rounded oval for the bunny’s face. Let the top of the oval touch the bottoms of both ears so they feel attached. Keep the shape wide and gentle.
Pro Tip: Make the head a little wider and rounder for a cute bunny face.

Step 6: Add the Eyes, Nose, and Small Mouth
Place a tiny triangle nose slightly below the center of the face. Add one round eye on each side, then draw small highlight circles inside the eyes. Finish with a soft curved mouth under the nose to create a friendly expression.
Pro Tip: Keep the eyes evenly spaced from the nose for a balanced face.

Fun Facts
- Rabbits can turn their ears to help catch sounds from different directions.
- A rabbit’s front teeth keep growing, which is why they like to chew.
- Many bunnies twitch their noses often, helping them smell what is nearby.
Pin it now, Draw later!
You just learned how to draw a bunny face step by step, starting with long ears and ending with a sweet expression. If you want color, try light pink inside the ears and soft gray shading under the chin for a round look. Add gentle shadows around the eyes to make them feel bright and shiny. One common beginner mistake is placing the eyes too high, so keep them in the middle area of the face. Practice this easy drawing tutorial a few times, then try changing the eye shape or adding rosy cheeks.
