What you will learn

Practice floppy-eared bunny with attention to seated pose and large paw pads.

Shapes and proportions

Use the long drooping ears to frame the head and two broad soles to frame the seated body.

A common mistake

Paw pads placed outside the soles look disconnected.

How to fix it

Outline both feet first, then fit the smaller pads inside them.

This floppy-eared bunny study focuses on seated pose and large paw pads. Use the long drooping ears to frame the head and two broad soles to frame the seated body. The exercise is about keeping these visible shapes readable before adding small marks or color.

These are four selected stages, not a complete stroke-by-stroke sequence. Blue guide lines mark additions in the source images. Compare the pictures for the overall shape changes; use the complete LittlePaper lesson for the smaller steps between them.

A few things to start with

Paper, a pencil and crayons matching the example. Leave room around the drawing for proportion checks before making the outlines darker.

    Crayon color: cream white, warm red

    Use the colored floppy-eared bunny example to compare the palette after checking the outline. The visible palette includes cream white, warm red. Keep repeated parts consistent and let small light flecks preserve the crayon texture.

A little practice goes a long way

Make room for your own ideas.

The example uses cream white, warm red. Keep matching limbs and repeated parts in a consistent palette. Use light overlapping crayon strokes so the inner outlines stay visible. Outline both feet first, then fit the smaller pads inside them.
