How to Draw a Fox
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: wide head.
Step 1: Wide head
Draw a big dome for the head. Add 2 fur tufts each side, then slope in to a pointy chin.
Tip Give each tuft a soft round end. Wide on top, narrow at the chin.
Step 2: Tall ears
On each top corner of the head, draw a tall triangle ear leaning out. Draw a smaller triangle inside it.
Tip Fox ears are like 2 tents tipping away from each other.
Step 3: Big eyes
Halfway down the head, draw 2 big round eyes, an eye apart. Add black pupils with shines.
Tip Big eyes make the fox look friendly.
Step 4: Snout and nose
Under the eyes, draw a long teardrop snout past the chin. Near its tip, add a black nose and smile.
Tip The snout is what makes it a fox: long and pointy.
Step 5: Chest and bib
Start under each fur tuft. Draw a short C chest, stopping a hand below the chin. Add a U bib.
Tip The bib is like a long white egg, narrower than the chest.
Step 6: Ground and legs
Draw a ground line below the chest. From each chest line's bottom, draw a big C down to it.
Tip Each back leg is a fat rainbow on its side, poking past the chest.
Step 7: Front legs
Start on each chest line. Draw a U down to a mitten paw, back up to the bib.
Tip Add 2 toes to each paw. The paw is wider than the leg.
Step 8: Back paws
Start on each back leg near the ground. Draw a bun humping over to stop on the front paw.
Tip The back paw peeks out lower and flatter than the front paw.
Step 9: Big bushy tail
From the right back leg, draw a fat tail sweeping up to a soft point, then down to the ground.
Tip The tail reaches up as high as the fur tufts and rests on the ground.
Step 10: White tip
Near the top of the tail, start on the inside edge and draw one short curve across to the outside.
Tip The line bows a little toward the tip, like a cap on a brush.
Step 11: White bits
With a white crayon, colour the snout, the bib and the tip of the tail. Leave the eyes white.
Step 12: Orange fur, black tips
Go over your lines. Colour the fur orange around the white parts. Colour the ear tips black last.
