Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Sketching the Expressive Eyes

Close up of Judy Hopps' eyes and nose being drawn with pencil on white paper.

Start by drawing two half-circles for Judy's eyes. Add smaller circles inside for pupils and shade them in. Tip: Keep your pencil pressure light so you can easily adjust the symmetry of her gaze later.

Step 2: Defining the Head and Ears

Outline of Judy Hopps' head shape and long rabbit ears.

Use long, sweeping curved lines to outline her head and those signature long rabbit ears. Tip: Draw the ears slightly angled to give her that alert, ready-for-duty look.

Step 3: Adding Eyelashes and Uniform Collar

Adding detail to Judy Hopps' eyes and starting the uniform collar.

Add short, flicking lines to create Judy's expressive eyelashes. Then, sketch the collar of her police uniform. Tip: Use short, quick strokes for the lashes to make them look natural and soft.

Step 4: Drawing the Carrot Pen

Draw a teardrop shape in her hand to represent her carrot recorder pen. Tip: Make sure the fingers wrap around the carrot so it looks like she is actually holding it.

Step 5: Detailing the Uniform Vest

Drawing the details of Judy Hopps' police vest and utility belt.

Continue the arm lines and complete the vest shape. Add rounded rectangles for the belt pouches. Tip: Keep the corners of the pouches rounded to match the cartoon style.

Step 6: Finishing the Utility Belt

Adding final details to the utility belt and second hand.

Add the buckle and more pouches to the belt. Use small circles for the snaps. Tip: Focus on keeping these shapes uniform in size to make the gear look professional.

Step 7: Sketching the Legs and Feet

Drawing the lower body, legs, and feet of Judy Hopps.

Draw long, curved lines for the legs, ending in her feet. Tip: Draw the feet slightly larger to emphasize her rabbit-like proportions.

Step 8: Adding Knee Pads and Shoe Details

Adding knee pads and shoe details to the character drawing.

Refine the legs by adding knee pads and detailing the shoes. Tip: Use your eraser to clean up any overlapping lines where the knee pads meet the legs.

Step 9: Final Badge and Clothing Details

Finalizing the badge and clothing details on the Judy Hopps drawing.

Draw the shield-shaped badge on her vest. Add final touches to her clothing with small lines. Tip: A steady hand is key here—take your time with the badge shape to make it look official!
