BUNNY RABBIT DRAWINGS

Fine Lines Make Bunnys Look Soft!

Bunnies, one of the animals that’s easy and fun to draw. If you’re into this kind of art style that’s soft looking and is heart melting to look at, maybe drawing a bunny in this style might be just for you. As you can see on the photo above, the artist chose pastel colors to achieve the soft looking style.

According to Megan Coyle, colors play a big part when making an art. She also added that colors can make you feel emotions depending on the colors chosen. An example of that is the bunny above, for some reason when you look at it, it gives you a warm feeling right? Also, the artist seemed to make the lineart a bit of a sketchy looking one which also made the drawing soft-looking.

SHEEP | LAMB DRAWINGS

Soft Light and Colors Make Lambs Fluffy

Lambs are one of the fluffiest and gentle animals that you can draw and meet in your life. Unlike drawing bunnies, I think drawing lambs may be easier for you to draw. If you can notice, the artist chose pastel colors here as well. This is because when you’re achieving the soft and cute looking drawings, it’s highly suggested to use lighter colors, because as I’ve said earlier colors can create a mood in an artwork.

To make the drawing look more cute, the artist decided to add flowers on each of the lamb’s head to make it more appealing to look at. They also added grass and surrounded the lambs with small flowers to make the drawing look more lively. If you want to achieve the soft-looking style of this lamb, I suggest you avoid darker colors.

Kitten Drawings

Practicing Cat Eyes Makes A Difference 

Cats are one of the easiest animals to draw even without references. Looking at how chubby and bright-eyed the cat was drawn here makes me want to get another cat. In order to achieve this kind of style, I suggest that you should choose colors that are either pastel colors or warm ones.

 According to Jey Ram, an artist who gave a tutorial on how to draw a cat, emphasized that when drawing a cat you should always pay attention to the proportion of the face. This is because, whatever the distance of the cat’s eyes to their nose changes the whole look. The lower the eyes are placed, the younger the drawing will look like.

Hippo Drawings

When In Doubt? Make Them Round!

Many people may not think of Hippos first when they think of an animal to draw and drawing them may be much more challenging to draw than the previous ones I’ve talked about. Hippos are seen as bulky animals, but the artist made them rounder and much smaller which highlights the cuteness of the hippo.

Remember that you can always make animals look more simple, yet cute and soft looking. This style is the same as the previous ones and the artist still used pastel and warm colors to make the drawing look relaxing to look at.

Horse | Pony Drawings

Cute Proportions Are Key Here!

Another one of the challenging animals to draw is a horse, with its long legs along with their strong figure, it may be hard for some to imagine it in this art style. If you’re up for another challenge, drawing a horse will do the thing. As you notice as we go to each of the animals, all colors used were either pastel color or warm ones and it’s just the same in this style.

Instead of the usual long-legged horse, the artist made the horse shorter and the head a little bigger than the horse’s body. With these little changes, it made the horse look cute and soft-looking. When drawing an animal you usually don’t draw, don’t be afraid to experiment and play with the proportion and sizes of their body.

Strawberry Cow Ideas

Doesn't Have To Be Realistic

Even though I’ve only seen a few people who draw cows in this kind of art style, cows are one of the animals that’s easy to draw. Drawing in this style makes the cows look much more cuddly. If you observe the drawing, you can see that there are three different colors of cows which aren’t realistic and that’s okay.

When you look closely, you can see that the tail of the cows are strawberry and banana. I think the artist represented cows as strawberry, banana and chocolate milk. You can also use this as an inspiration to draw your favorite animal and your favorite drink. Feel free to also experiment with colors and just draw however you want the animal as long as you’re having fun.

Try Shadows And Blush For A New Effect

Polar bears are one of the fluffiest animals that’s very fun and easy to draw. Unlike how the killer whale was drawn, the polar bear is a bit sketchy and the coloring gives off the watercolor look. If you look closely, the polar bear has shadows that’s the same color as the background.

In order to achieve this kind of coloring style, you may want to experiment and play by combining colors together and see if it blends. For the art style, the artist had used fruits and stars to give off a cute look. I think the blush of the polar bear and the rat made the art look more lively, so you may consider adding blush into your drawing as well.

Add Whatever You Find Cute!

Last but not the least is the killer whale, killer whales are one of the most dangerous sea creatures but everything changes if you turn it into this kind of style. The artist made the killer whale soft looking by adding ice cream and cookies into the canvas.

 The glittering effect also played a part in making the art much more pleasant to look at. So, if you want to achieve this kind of style, don’t hesitate to add the things that you find cute.
