There are lots of coloring options for this bunny, once the drawing is finished. Students could go natural with a combination of brown, grays and white, or completely abstract like a made up Easter bunny too. The sample shown above was actually layered with crayons, gray and gold first, brown on top. Not all crayons will do that, but it’s always nice to know some do, in case that’s all that is available.

Bunny Drawing
There must be an artist somewhere who originated this look of a furry bunny line drawing, as many variations have been all over Pinterest for awhile now. It is a great idea, having the black and white drawing on the colored background, but the examples I saw were either to complex or way too simple. As in, coloring page simple.
Who needs that when the basic bunny head is really pretty easy to draw? And if students then lightly plan some rows with a pencil, lots of skinny marker lines can be added in an organized way.
Lastly, cut him out, leaving a bit of a white edge, glue to a sheet of your favorite color of paper and you have fun drawing with lots of CONTRAST too. (Psst, one of the Principles of Design!)

This How to Draw a Bunny project is perfect for students that are fascinated with drawing over-sized eyes. It leaves plenty of room to add those little highlight spots (what I call “shiny” spots.) I totally understand the connection, as those eyes do kind of instantly add more personality to anything that one is drawing.
This bunny drawing is made from some large simple shapes, and is mostly symmetrical. His is just turned every so slightly so that we can see a bit of his cute fluffy tail. Save this tutorial to help students draw a pet, illustrate a story, or make and Easter bunny card. All kinds of possibilities!
