How to Draw a Furry Fox
- 1). Draw a circle somewhere in the upper portion of your paper to represent the head of the fox. Sketch out a larger oval underneath the head to act as the body of this animal. Use light pencil strokes until you are fully confident in the proportions of both of these.
- 2). Sketch out a T-shaped guideline, with two horizontal lines instead of one, on the fox's face to help you create the eyes, nose and mouth of this creature. Draw vertical lines near the front of the fox's body to help you create these two legs when detailing.
- 3). Sketch out ovals at the bottom of each leg to reflect the shapes of the paws. Draw an L-shaped line near the back of the body for the hind leg that is more visible to the viewer of this picture.
- 4). Create two proportionally-shaped ovals between both horizontal guidelines on the fox's head to act as the eyes. Draw a small circle inside each of the eyes, as these will be the pupils. Use light pencil strokes until these facial features are identical in size and appearance.
- 5). Draw a small, upside-down triangle at the bottom of the vertical guideline on the fox's face. This nose, or snout, also connects the mouth and jawbone of the fox to the rest of the head. You may notice some similarities between the fox pictured in the reference guide you are using and many medium-sized breeds of dogs.
- 6). Draw the rounded mouth using an indented line for the upper lip and a semi-circular outline for the lower portion of this snout. Use rigid lines to add a furry texture to the underside of the fox's mouth. Likewise, create jagged edges on either side of the fox's face to further this image.
- 7). Sketch out two triangles on top of the fox's head, spaced out slightly farther than the eyes in the middle of the face. These triangles represent the fox's ears, so use small and rigid lines to create the furry edges. Complete the top of the head, between the ears, with light and wispy lines.
- 8). Use medium-length wispy lines to create the tuft of the fox's chest, right underneath the head. Thicken each of the front legs with small, rigid lines. Use a small, horizontal line at the joint in each leg to accent the way these limbs move. Draw small, vertical notches in each of the paws to separate each of the toes.
- 9). Thicken the basic shape of the visible hind leg as it is pictured in the reference guide you are using. Draw the calf of this animal, or the entire lower portion below the joint, as a single oval-like shape that connects to the paw. Divide this paw with vertical lines just like you did for the front paws.

Round out the backside of the fox with short lines to create a slightly textured look. The back is not as furry as other areas of this animal, so there is no need to make this section look as hairy. Use long pencil strokes to sketch the tail of the fox, making sure that the end is a bit fluffier than where it exits the body. - 11
Trace all intended pencil marks with an ink pen. Make sure you do not ink over any of the guidelines that helped you create each section. Let the ink dry, then completely erase any remaining pencil marks from the page.
