How to draw a rabbit

A rabbit with long ears, whiskers and a small fluffy tail, drawn from a circle and an oval in six easy steps.

Beginner rabbit

6 steps

A circle for the head and two long ears, then the face with eyes, nose, mouth and whiskers, a large oval body, the front and back legs with paws, and a small fluffy tail. Six steps.

What you need

A pencil, an eraser and a sheet of paper are enough. Draw lightly at first, then trace the lines you want to keep when your rabbit is finished.

  1. Step 1 of 6

    Draw the rabbit's head

    Start with a simple circle. This becomes the rabbit's head and gives you a clear center for the long ears and face.

  2. Step 2 of 6

    Add two long rabbit ears

    Draw two tall, narrow oval shapes rising from the top of the head. Let each ear curve slightly outward.

    Beginner tip: The ears do not need to match perfectly; a small difference makes the rabbit feel natural.

  3. Step 3 of 6

    Draw the rabbit's face

    Add two round eyes, a small nose and a short curved mouth. Finish the face with three simple whiskers on each side.

  4. Step 4 of 6

    Add the oval body

    Draw a large horizontal oval behind the head. Overlap the two shapes so the rabbit looks like it is sitting sideways.

  5. Step 5 of 6

    Draw the legs and paws

    Use short curved lines for the two front legs and one large bend for the back leg. Add small toe marks to finish the paws.

    Beginner tip: Keep the paws rounded and close to the body for an easy sitting pose.

    Finish with a fluffy tail

    Draw a small cloud-like circle at the back of the body. A few rounded bumps are enough to make the tail look soft and fluffy.

That's it! You have drawn a rabbit.

Trace your favorite lines a little darker, erase any unwanted pencil marks and add color if you would like.
