How to Draw Bugs Bunny

Last Updated: May 19, 2022

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.

Method 1

Method 1 of 2:

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 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 with a pen or a marker .
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.

5

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

Keep trying. Always remember to look at reference images and maybe copy them at first to get a hang of what you're trying to draw. Then you can go on your own and keep improving.
Question

I find it very difficult to border a picture out, I become scared and the lines become wobbly. Is there any easy way to make it straight?

One easy answer: a ruler. I don't really know why you are scared while drawing, but I hope you get over your trauma. Use the ruler and level it out on both sides, draw a line straight across.
