How to draw a bunny sitting in an Easter basket step by step
How to Draw a Bunny Sitting in an Easter Basket · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: Head, ears and side curve
Draw a rounded head with two tall ears on top that join in a bumpy shape, then add a thin U shape in the gap between the ears. Finish with a long curved line that sweeps down the right side of the head.
Step 3: Two little paws
Under the face, draw two small ovals side by side, one on the left and one on the right. Join them with a short straight line along the bottom.
Step 4: Cute face
Add two round dots for eyes, spaced apart in the middle of the face. Draw a tiny smile between them.
Step 5: The basket rim
Draw a long, curved band like a fat sausage under the paws. Start at the left of the bunny, curve it along the bottom, and finish on the right, so the paws rest on top.
Step 6: The basket body
Under the rim, draw a big bowl shape. Start at the left end of the rim, curve down and around the bottom, and come back up to the right end.
Step 7: The basket handle
Draw a big arch from the left end of the rim up over the bunny's ears and down to the right end. Then draw a second, shorter arch just inside it on the left side to make the handle look thick.
Step 8: Peeking Easter eggs
On each side of the bunny, draw a few short curved lines inside the basket to show the tops of Easter eggs. Add a couple of tiny lines near the rim by the paws.
Step 9: Wiggle lines
Draw a few short curved lines by the bottom left and bottom right corners of the basket. They show the basket wobbling and make the drawing feel lively.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a bunny sitting in an Easter basket
- Start the head as a light, round shape and add the two ears on top. The ears should be a little taller than the face is wide.
- The paws are the trickiest part because they sit on the rim. Draw them first, then draw the rim underneath and stop the rim line where it meets a paw.
- Draw the handle after the bunny and the basket. Start at one end of the rim and take your time curving over the ears so the arch stays smooth.
- Keep the egg lines and wiggle lines short. They are the last details, so they can be a little loose and playful.

A rabbit's front teeth never stop growing, so chewing on hay and other tough foods helps keep them worn down to the right length.
Questions about drawing a bunny sitting in an Easter basket
What shapes do I need to draw a bunny in an Easter basket?
You need a rounded head with two tall ears, two small ovals for the paws, a curved band for the rim, and a bowl shape for the basket. A big arch makes the handle.
How do I make my bunny look cuter?
Keep the eyes as simple round dots and the smile tiny. A round, chubby head with small paws makes the bunny look extra sweet.

Draw the rim as a long curved band first, then draw the bowl curving down from its two ends. Curved lines that bend the same way make the basket look round.
