Draw Bugs Bunny

Everyone’s seen Looney Tunes and laughed at the rollicking and amazing adventures of Bugs Bunny. Here's an easy tutorial on how to draw the rabbit himself.

Steps

Front-View Bugs

  1. Sketch a circle and an oval for Bugs Bunny's head. Draw two long and pointy ovals above the head for the ears, and another set inside each ear. You might also want to cock one of the ears slightly, so it looks like Bugs is listening in on a conversation, or droop them down if you want him to appear sad.
  2. Draw the line of action. Draw a small oval for the neck and an overlapping circle and oval for the body. These shapes are technically round, but Bugs Bunny is fairly wiry, so make them vertical and oblong as depicted here.
  3. For each arm, draw two long, thin ovals. Add a circle for each of his hands.
  4. Connect ovals to each circle for the fingers. They should be a bit thicker than you’d expect, because Bugs wears gloves that cover up his fingers (you’ll add on that part later).
  5. For the legs, draw a rectangle for each leg. Draw an oblong oval for the feet.
  6. Draw three ovals on each foot for the toes. (This step can be difficult to get right, but they don’t have to be perfect, and you can always go back and try to fix them.)
  7. Re-focus on the face. Draw an upside-down triangle in the middle of the oval for the nose, and a curvy "w" for the mouth with a small line at each corner, so it looks like a smirk. Under that, draw a square with a half line in the middle for the teeth.
  8. Add in some whiskers and two ovals for the eyes. Draw small circles for the pupils, and fill them in.
  9. Put in some more details, like color separations and gloves. The gloves should have indentations on them and end roundly around his wrists.
  10. Erase the guidelines. Then outline your drawing more darkly.
  11. Color Bugs in and you're finished! The traditional Bugs Bunny is mostly gray and white, but you can use whatever colors you’d like for your drawing.

Side-View Bugs

  1. Draw two simple ovals, as shown.
  2. Add two more ovals for the ears.
  3. Now, add rectangles, for legs and one for the arm.
  4. Again, more ovals, for the feet and cheeks.
  5. Draw more lines, add more details…for fingers and legs.
  6. Now, draw his eyes, fingers and other parts.
  7. Erase everything which is not needed anymore and shape the drawing.
  8. Outline the drawing, with pencil or felt pen.
  9. Color the drawing using only gray color, and little bit of pink for is tiny muzzle



Tips

  • Draw lightly in pencil so that you can easily rub out mistakes.
  • Try to rub out the guide lines as you draw. This will help making a better outline and will prevent any confusion.
  • Bugs Bunny is anthropomorphic, meaning he has lots of human attributes (for example, talking to Elmer Fudd and walking on two legs), so be sure to incorporate this element into your drawing. If you feel like it, give him clothes or a carrot to stick in his mouth. It’s all about how you want to characterize your drawing, and the sky’s the limit.
