Drawing an Easter bunny can be a delightful and creative activity, especially during the Easter season. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your drawing skills, here are some detailed steps and tips to help you create a charming Easter bunny.
Starting with the Basics: The Face
To begin, focus on drawing the face of your Easter bunny. Start by drawing two large circles for the eyes, positioned in the middle of your paper. These circles should be fairly big to give your bunny a friendly and approachable look. Inside each of these circles, draw smaller circles in the top right corner to create a shiny effect. Color in the larger circles but leave the smaller ones white to maintain the shine[1].
Next, draw the nose and mouth. For a simple design, draw a small “v” shape for the nose and a curved line or a “w” shape for the mouth, ensuring it is centered between the eyes. For a more complex design, like the big mouth Easter bunny, draw the nose above a fold in your paper and the mouth with half of the line on the top part of the fold and half on the bottom. This will create a surprising effect when you open the folded paper[2].
Adding the Head and Ears
Draw a large oval or circle around the eyes and mouth to form the head of your bunny. For the ears, draw two lines that go up and then curve back down, creating a floppy ear shape. Each ear should be symmetrical and slightly bent. You can add additional lines inside the ears for detail. For the big mouth Easter bunny, draw the ears as upside-down “u” shapes that extend from the top of the head to the fold line[1][2].
Body and Limbs
Underneath the head, draw a “u” shape to form the body of your bunny. For the arms, draw two smaller “u” shapes on either side of the body, just below the chin. The belly can be drawn as another short “u” shape connecting the arms. For the legs, draw small “u” shapes at the bottom of the body. You can also add a small tail on the side if you prefer[1].
For the big mouth Easter bunny, the body is drawn with curves extending down from the shoulders and a belly formed by two lines inside the body shape. This design allows for the folding surprise element[2].
Additional Details
Add whiskers above the fold line for the big mouth Easter bunny, or simply above the mouth for a simpler design. You can also include a bow tie by drawing a “u” shape under the chin and curving lines out to the sides.
Folding Surprise (Optional)
If you’re creating the big mouth Easter bunny, fold your paper to create a surprise element. Fold the top edge down to the bottom edge, crease it, and then fold it again to create a guide. Unfold the paper and draw your bunny, ensuring that the mouth and other details align with the folds. When you open the paper, the bunny’s mouth will be surprisingly large, revealing any additional drawings like candy or carrots inside[2].
Coloring and Final Touches
Once you’ve completed the drawing, it’s time to add color. Use your favorite colors to bring your Easter bunny to life. For the big mouth Easter bunny, color the entire drawing, including the inside of the mouth and any hidden elements like candy or carrots. You can also add a background, grass, and Easter eggs to enhance the scene[1][2].
