Bunny Silhouettes: 20 Simple Rabbit Shapes with Line Outlines, from Lop Ears to a Crescent Moon

Whole rabbits fill this set, not just heads: 20 bunny silhouettes, each with a matching line outline. The drawing style is simple and round, with soft cheeks, a cotton tail and short feet, and the poses are everyday ones, from sitting and grooming to stretching, sleeping and lying in a loaf.

What each bunny is doing

Most of the set is a single rabbit in an everyday pose:

• Sitting in profile (01), standing up on its hind legs (12) and looking back over its shoulder (20)
• Lop-eared, sitting front-on with both ears hanging (03)
• On the move, a long leap (04) and a shorter hop (16)
• Snacking, holding a carrot (05) or grazing at a tuft of grass (17)
• From behind, so the round cotton tail is the center of the picture (06)
• Resting, curled asleep (09), tucked into a loaf (10) or stretched out low with its tail in the air (15)
• Grooming, with both front paws up to its face (11)

A handful tell a little story. In 13 a mother sits beside her kit, and in 14 two bunnies meet nose to nose with a tiny heart floating between them. Number 07 peeks over the top of a large egg, 18 sits inside a crescent moon and 19 holds a heart against its chest. The odd ones out are 02, a front-facing face, and 08, a pair of ears standing on an empty oval you can write or draw inside.

Silhouette or line

The line version is the friendlier of the two. Every bunny that faces you or turns sideways gets an eye and a nose, the front-facing ones add whiskers and a small mouth, and each line is a filled band rather than a single stroke. The solid version, which the guide calls a simplified silhouette, fills the outer shape with black and leaves out everything inside it. That suits a stencil or a cut shape, but it also means a detail set against the body, like the heart in 19, only shows in the line version. Details that stick out past the outline stay, such as the carrot leaves in 05, the grass in 17 and the whiskers on 07 and 12. The ear frame keeps its open center in both.

For a cut stencil, the guide points out that isolated pieces like eyes, whiskers and hearts may need bridges or a different method, and that nothing in the set comes with a guarantee of a usable cut. Print a paper test at your project size first.

Printing and sizing

Each PDF starts with the 20 line drawings one per page, at about 6.25 inches on the long side on US Letter. Then come the four-up sheets on 3-inch artboards and the six-up sheets on 2.25-inch artboards, and the solid versions repeat that run. The last six-up sheet in each style holds only two bunnies. The final four pages repeat designs 01, 03, 04 and 06 as tracing templates, a touch bigger at about 6.6 inches and with nothing but a title line, so they work as plain sheets for coloring or tracing.

The bunny is smaller than its 8 x 8 inch artboard in the SVG and PNG files, about 6.6 inches at its longest. When you need an exact finished width, select the vector paths themselves or crop the empty margin.

Questions

Do the bunnies have faces?

The line versions do. Most have an eye and a nose, and the front-facing ones add whiskers and a small smiling mouth. The solid versions are plain silhouettes, so the faces drop out, although the whiskers on the egg and standing designs still poke past the outline.

Is this the whole rabbit or just the head?

The whole rabbit in 18 of the 20 designs. Design 02 is a front-facing head with whiskers, and 08 is a pair of bunny ears on an empty oval frame.
