Here in this simple rabbit drawing lesson…
I wanted to keep things as easy as possible – while at the very same time, make for a situation, where you can still *branch off* – and tap into your own creativity and imagination, a chance to make the final outcome, uniquely yours.
And yes, while it will have some resemblance to mine, when your done – here, it’s all about "letting go", being free with your pencil strokes, and of course…
Having fun!
Let’s begin…
A Simple Rabbit Drawing, Step by Step
OK, so with this cartoon rabbit – let’s begin like usual, with a framework of basic shapes – something to help us visualize what we’re going to draw, before we actually lay down any lines.
Circles and ovals doing the trick – here’s a rough idea, of what yours could look like…
Next up – fading our blues lines to something very light in color…
Go ahead now, and give you rabbit drawing a face – marking off the mouth, nose area, and also the eyes.
Just simple lines here, is all it takes.
And don’t worry about perfection!
Here with the eyes and teeth, I kept the lines rough and sketchy-looking, something I did on purpose, as I’d like to see you attempt this – will little concern in this area.
Keep your hand loose. Just have fun, roughly laying down the lines. Erase if you like – but really, there’s no need.
Just keep on flowing along…
OK!
Next, on to the head – mapped out ahead of time by an oval (mouth area) and a circle (top of the head)…
Go ahead – and using quick, wispy strokes of your pencil or stylus – gradually bring in the perimeter into view like so.
You don’t have to worry about lines connecting either. Here it’s all about shape and form – marking off that "rough idea"…
Fading what we’ve previously drawn – out to light grey…
This helps to focus on the next step, free your mind up (hopefully!) even more. 🙂
Again, you can see how easy I’ve made this lesson. And when I say "easy" – I’m not saying that sure, it’s easy for anyone to draw. But I do mean in the approach, and in the amount of care taken with each line.
You can just freely, lay them down – an an order, style and sequence "close enough" to what I’ve done.
Here’s how the body begins…
More of those simple, disconnected, sketchy, messy looking lines – and when all is said and drawn…
We’ve got a cute, simple rabbit drawing – one that if you like, can be stylized even further to take on a look of your own.
Here it is…
And then, with some color…
And that’s it!
A cute looking bunny rabbit.
Going back to the start of the lesson again for a second, I’d just like to point out – that by sketching out those simple shapes ahead of time – can really help.
It doesn’t always have to be shapes.
It could just be some basic lines – to help give you the "gist" of what you’re going to be drawing.
Point being – anything to help the creative mind stay free along the path, is well worth it.
Well, hope you enjoyed the lesson.
See you soon for another! 🙂
