Let’s grab your pencil and get to it!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1:
Begin by sketching a shape that’s rounded at the top and bottom, tapering to a point on each side – this will form the fox’s head.
Step 2:
Draw two triangular ears on top of the head. Then, add a fluffy patch below the head to represent the fox’s chest fur.
Step 3:
Sketch two front legs descending from the chest. Above, add two small circles for the eyes.
Step 4:
Behind the front legs, draw the hind legs with curved lines. Then, add a small oval extending from the head for the snout.
Step 5:
Inside each ear, draw a smaller triangle to show the inner ear. Add a curved line on the snout to represent a cheerful smile.
Step 6:
Finally, sketch a large, bushy tail. You can make it as fluffy as you like!
Once your fox is outlined, it’s time to bring it to life with color! Traditional foxes are orange with white accents, but feel free to get creative with your palette. Remember, the goal is to have fun and express your creativity!
