How to draw Judy Hopps

Building a full-body anthropomorphic character with gear and accessories is the skill practiced in this guide, and Judy Hopps from the Zootopia collection gives plenty to work with across all 16 steps. The tutorial on how to draw Judy Hopps walks through her compact rabbit frame, uniform details, and crossed-arm pose without skipping the fiddly bits.

What This Step-by-Step Covers

The guide runs 16 steps and ends on a fully colored result, so line work and color fill are both part of the process. Judy is drawn full body in a leaning pose with arms crossed, which introduces some asymmetry to manage. The uniform details, particularly the tactical vest and utility belt, are where the most careful linework is needed, and those come in the middle steps once the body structure is already down.

Judy Hopps: Key Visual Features

• Tall rabbit ears with pink inner lining
• Purple eyes, small smiling muzzle
• Blue long-sleeve shirt, dark tactical vest
• Gold police badge on chest
• Utility belt, dark boots, crossed-arm pose

If you want to keep going with the Zootopia cast, Mayor Lionheart and Flash Slothmore are both covered in the same series and offer different body types to practice. Gazelle from Zootopia 2 is also there if you want a longer, more detailed build.

Reading the Step Colors

Each step image uses a three-color coding system to make the progression clear:

• Red Color: lines added in the current step.
• Black Color: lines completed earlier.
• Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
