What you will learn
Practice fluffy rabbit with attention to cheek fur and long ears.
Shapes and proportions
Use soft cheek tufts beneath the long ears and keep the little front paws close together.
A common mistake
Sharp cheek spikes can overpower the gentle face.
How to fix it
Use a few short curves for fur instead of long triangular points.
This fluffy rabbit study focuses on cheek fur and long ears. Use soft cheek tufts beneath the long ears and keep the little front paws close together. 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.
