Question

How do I get the length of the ears right, so they're not too big or too small?

Craftsmart

Top Answerer

Using a pencil, lightly sketch out different sizes. Try longer ones and shorter ones, and once you find the one you like the best, erase any extra lines and keep the ones you like. It is difficult to get the exact length the first time, but after sketching a little and working with it, you can achieve it.

A good way to draw a chin on a rabbit or bunny would be to give it a small "goatee" or beard similar or the same as the fur's color. That way, you don't need to form a chin with any precision.
