Draw a peanut shaped cylinder for the fox torso. It will be wider toward the neck and taper at the rear end of the body. Draw oval spheres inside the shapes to maintain form. - 2
Make a cone for the neck that is open on each end but wider at the shoulders than it is at the skull. Form the muzzle by drawing a small cone that is tapered at the end of the nose. It should connect to the circle. The ears are triangles; the one closest to you is larger than the one on the far side of the head. - 3
Form the tail by drawing a tube shape that tapers at each end but is wider at the connection point on the body. - 4
Draw the legs onto the animal using cone shapes that taper as they move downward. The feet are very small triangles. - 5). Erase the oval shapes from the drawing using the kneaded eraser. The best thing about this type of eraser is the fact that you can shape it to get into the nooks and fine areas of drawings. Start defining the features according to the photograph, paying attention to the finer shapes of each body part.
- 6). Taper the nose of the fox since they tend to have pointed noses. The tip of the nose is very dark. The eye is an oval that becomes pointed at each end like a human eye does. The iris and pupil are defined here. You will see the interior of the closest ear, but the farthest ear is turned away from you so you will only see the back of it. Define the feet so they are rounder on the top and flatter on the bottom.
- 7). Put on the finishing touches. Fur is one of the most important parts of the finished drawing. The hairs sit one on top of the other following the shape of the body. They will stick out in outer areas, but for the most part they should be smooth. The hair on the face will slope down over the nose toward the chin and move toward into the neck. The hair on the head will follow the shape of the skull by moving upward and curving down over the neck, shaping itself to the contour of the back, shoulders and chest. The ears will have hairs that point upward at the tip and slope downward as the ears widen at the bottom. Fur on the back will move toward the rear end of the torso, sloping down over the body's sides toward the underneath of the animal and onto the legs. The tail is a full plume, with fur falling slightly toward the bottom of the tail but also going toward the tip of the tail.
