hey guys, its been along time since i was on here, i can't get my old account to wake up, so i made a new one.

I have been trying for two days to get a decent bunny drawn... on the up side it is looking more like a bunny, kind of... but my main problem is I just can't make it cute...

Here is where I am tonight

it looks more like a kind of ground hog than a bunny, and it is not cute at all.

these are cute and bunnies... my references so far.

Making something cute is hard work. Perhaps by moving the eyes, mouth and nose a bit closer to each other to the lower half of the head (like in the Preston Blair's Animation1 -book)...?

The one on the right is cuter. I don't have access to my tablet, so let me try to describe what you need to do to maximize cuteness and bunnyness.

1. Make the right ear point backwards, like your last pic. Your bunny has ears pointing out the side of his head like viking horns, not slanting backwards like an adorable cute precious bunny.
2. Make the eyes a bit bigger. Big eyes are cute.
3. Make the nose smaller and scrunchier, and the two poofies between the nose and mouth bigger and poofy-out-ier (bunnies have big poofies, and they poofy out a lot more than your drawing).
4. As mentioned, scrunch the facial features together a bit more. Scrunched faces are cute.

Beware of bunny cuteness overload when you do this!
