A rabbit at rest

Build a resting rabbit from an egg-shaped body and a smaller head, then add ears, a hind leg, and a few soft pencil shadows.

A way into the drawing

1. Find the big shapes

   Lightly place a large tilted oval for the body and a smaller oval for the head. Leave room above for the ears.

2. Connect the silhouette

   Join the head to the rounded back. Add the long ears, a curved haunch, and the small paws touching the ground.

3. Choose a few details

   Place the eye and nose, then use short marks at the cheek and chest. Shade beneath the belly with the side of the pencil.

A small thing to tryKeep the back as one broad curve. A few fur marks at the edges suggest softness without covering the whole rabbit.
