How to Draw a Bunny Face
Feel free to customize your Easter bunny's face to your liking! Here are five facial expressions I've created (refer to the photo below).
When drawing the faces, think about your favorite emojis. You can create happy, surprised, excited, sad, angry, or confused bunnies. You might even want to add heart eyes.
I prefer using a black gel pen for drawing the faces, but any pen, pencil crayon, or marker will do the job.
Instructions - How to Create Paper Handprint Bunnies
Step #1: Begin by tracing a handprint, ensuring it's slightly wider than usual. Avoid tracing tightly around the fingers to prevent the ears and arms from being too skinny. Refer to the photo below for guidance, aiming for a handprint that's thicker than the actual fingers. You can also watch the video above to see how I traced the handprint.
Step #2: Cut out the handprint, ensuring there's a V-shape at the bottom between each finger, rather than a curve.
Step #3: This step is optional, but highly recommended for achieving better proportions. Cut a small slit beside the pinky finger, ensuring that the bottom of the cut aligns with the bottom of the space beside the thumb.
Step #4: After cutting the slit, the baby finger may appear slightly crooked. Feel free to trim the baby finger slightly to adjust its shape and ensure it looks neat.
Step #5: Next, fold down the baby finger towards the center to create one of the bunny's arms.
Step #6: Afterward, fold down the thumb towards the center to form the other bunny arm. Aim to fold them in a way that the two hands "touch" in the middle.
Step #7: Cut off the middle finger so you’re left with two finger “bunny ears”.
Step #8: Utilize a pink marker, pen, or pencil crayon to draw the pink sections of the ears. Then, draw an oval shape for the rabbit's nose.
Step #9: With a black gel pen, regular pen, or marker, proceed to draw the remaining features of the face – including the eyes, whiskers, and mouth. Refer to the examples below for different face options.
Step #10: Finally, draw two small paws at the bottom of the handprint to depict the bunny's feet.
Your paper bunny is complete!
Good luck!!
