Fox Head - Step 5:
Extend the top and sides of the head shape to suggest more fur. At the top of the head, sketch two triangular ears. Next, draw a pair of oval-shaped eyes along the horizontal guideline of the face. Between the eyes, draw the muzzle extending outward. Draw the lower jaw opening in a smile.

Fox Drawing Details Step 7:
Sketch a large fluffy tail from the fox's rear, curving with the line of action. Add pads to each of the fox's toes, and one larger pad beneath those. Then add short claws. Detail the fox's eyes with irises, and add nostrils to the nose. Almost done!

Fox - Refine your Drawing - Step 8:
Tighten and darken your lines. Use broken lines to indicate the fox's dense fur, especially the tail, chest, cheeks, and inner ear. Erase any construction guidelines. Fill in the nose, eyes, and paw pads with pencil shading.

Cartoon Fox Color - Step 7:
In the winter, Arctic foxes are white, or sometimes blue-gray. To give the character a feeling of warmth and excitement, I substituted white with a creamy yellow, and used a red-purple for the shadows. Apply some of the color with jagged strokes to give the fox a furry texture.
