How it works

These bunny drawing ideas are sorted the way a rabbit keeper would sort them: by breed, from lops to Lionheads, and by pose, from the loaf to the binky. Wild cottontails and hares follow, and a dozen cute bunnies close the list.

Rabbit or hare

Hares are generally larger, with bigger ears, eyes and hind feet. A hare is born with fur and able to see, out in the open, and rests in a shallow dip called a form. Rabbits are born hairless and blind in a burrow. The Belgian Hare, for all its name, is a rabbit bred to look like one.

  • Draw the hind legs longer than the front ones and fold them under the rump. That one change turns a cat shape into a rabbit.
