Help!?
What can we use if we don't have colored pencils or can't open CuteCat17 on a device?
If you don't have colored pencils use crayons or markers for the "Color your bunny with colored pencils using light layers" step, and if you can't open CuteCat17 print a screenshot of the demo or follow the written steps to "watch CuteCat17's first shapes demo".
My guide lines are messy or the ears look uneven—how can I fix that?
Sharpen your pencil until the tip is ready for light lines, sketch the initial circle for the head and oval for the body lightly as CuteCat17 shows, and gently use a kneaded or soft eraser to "Erase extra guide lines gently" and correct the ears before adding details.
How can I adapt this lesson for younger children or make it more challenging for older kids?
For younger children, simplify the activity by drawing large versions of the "circle for the bunny's head" and "oval under the head for the bunny's body" for them to trace and use thicker crayons, while older kids can add more realistic "light shading under the chin and along one side of the body" and detailed "short curved strokes following the body to show furry texture" plus layered colored-pencils and blending.
What are some fun ways to personalize or extend the bunny drawing after finishing the basic steps?
Personalize your bunny by changing fur patterns with extra "short curved strokes following the body," adding accessories or a background scene with colored pencils, experimenting with heavier or layered "light shading," and then "Share your finished bunny creation on DIY.org."

Facts about basic drawing techniques for kids
✏️ An HB pencil is great for sketching shapes, while 2B–4B make darker, softer shading for fur and shadows.
🎨 Colored pencils can be layered and lightly blended to create soft fur textures and smooth color transitions.
🖍️ Hatching and cross-hatching use lines to show shadow and texture — perfect for drawing tiny fur strokes on a bunny.
🔢 Many artists start with simple shapes (circles, ovals, lines) to get correct proportions before adding details.
🐰 Rabbits have almost 360° vision because their eyes sit on the sides of their heads — great inspiration for practicing profile vs. front views!
