Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 2 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: Top of the head
Draw a round oval for the bunny's head near the top of your paper. Stop before you close it, and leave a gap at the bottom where the egg will tuck in.
Step 3: The egg shell
Draw a big bowl shape below the head, like the bottom half of an egg. Make the top edge on each side a zigzag with a few pointy cracks, and leave the middle open under the head.
Step 4: Long bunny ears
Draw two tall, skinny ovals standing up from the top of the head, one on the left and one on the right. Start each one where it touches the head.
Step 5: Inner ears
Inside each ear, draw a short curved line that follows the shape of the ear. These make the ears look soft.
Step 6: Face and paws
Add two small dots for eyes and a tiny nose with a little mouth below it. Then draw two rounded paws at the bottom of the head, resting on the shell's edge, with a short line joining them in the middle.
Step 7: Zigzag stripe
Across the lower part of the egg, draw a zigzag line from one side of the shell to the other, with pointy peaks like a row of mountains. Keep the points about the same size.
Step 8: Egg dots
Under the zigzag, add three small dots in a row. Make the middle one a little lower than the other two.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a bunny in an egg
- Draw the head first and the egg second. That way you can see exactly where the paws need to sit on the zigzag edge.
- The paws are the trickiest part. Make them two small rounded shapes that rest on the shell edge, and do not worry if they are not perfectly matched.
- Draw the zigzag on the egg with straight lines and sharp points. Try to keep the points about the same height so it looks neat.
