How to Draw a Fox Sleeping
Draw a fox sleeping in 11 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: fox head.
Step 1: Fox head
On the left, draw a head with a dome top, fur tufts on each cheek and a soft pointed chin.
Tip Leave lots of room on the right for the curled-up body.
Step 2: Tall ears
On each top corner of the head, draw a tall triangle ear leaning out, with a smaller triangle inside.
Step 3: Sleepy eyes
Across the middle of the head, draw 2 closed eyes, each a little upside-down U, about an eye apart.
Step 4: Snout and nose
Under the eyes, draw a long teardrop snout poking below the chin. Add a black nose and a sleepy smile.
Step 5: Curled body
Start under the right ear. Draw a big bean lying behind the head, back under the tummy. Add a leg.
Tip The body is about twice as wide as the head.
Step 6: Tucked paw
Under the chin, draw a small mitten paw poking down from the body, back to it. Add 2 toe lines.
Step 7: Bushy tail
From the back end, draw a fat tail round the front, curling up by the paw. Add a ground line.
Tip Stop the tail at the paw, then rub out the body line inside the tail.
Step 8: White tip
Near the tip of the tail, draw 1 short curve across it. Everything past that is the white tip.
Step 9: Sleepy zzz
Right of the ears, draw 3 little z's floating up, each one a bit bigger.
Step 10: White and pink
Go over your lines. Colour the snout and tail tip white, and the ear insides pink.
Step 11: Orange fur, black tips
Colour the fox orange around the white and pink parts, then the ear tips black.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a fox sleeping, drawn by you.
