Step-by-Step Easy Fox Tutorial
Start by drawing light gray crosshairs on your paper. Then, draw two circles stacked like a snowman right in the middle.
Draw two triangular ears on top of the head circle, and wide, pointed cheeks spanning the sides of the face.
Draw two small circles for the eyes, an oval for the nose, and a curved W shape for a cute smiling mouth.
Inside the bottom body circle, draw four vertical lines that connect to small loops at the bottom for the front paws.
On the right side of the body, draw a large, sweeping curved shape sweeping upwards to create the fox’s big bushy tail.
Draw a curved shape tucked between the front legs and the tail to create the back right leg, ending in a paw.
Draw jagged zig-zag lines inside the tail to separate the white tip. Add a small loop on the left side for the back left leg.
Add jagged fur on the cheeks and chest, inner ear triangles, cute eyebrows, and tiny lines on the paws for toes!
Color the fox orange, but leave the chest, lower face, and tail tip white. Add pink to the ears and you’re done!
Tail Tip: The white tip on the tail is what makes a fox look like a fox — don’t forget it!
Cheek Fur: Use zig-zag lines instead of smooth curves for the cheeks to create that fluffy look.
