Keeping in mind the proportions of a fox is important when creating a drawing of this animal. First of all, the body of a fox should be a long, elongated rectangle, one body width long plus space for the paws. The neck should be slightly smaller than the body, and the head and muzzle should be rounded and attached to a thick neck.
After creating the basic shape of a fox, it's time to draw the facial features. Next, draw the ears, nose, mouth, and eyes. Make two small circles near the top of the head to represent the eyes. Next, add the nose bridge, the eyes, and the whiskers.
The head of a fox is long and straight, unlike the skulls of dogs or cats, which have big dips in their foreheads. Its snout is slender and its eyes are large. By the way, note that the size of a fox's head is one of the easiest ways to tell if it's male or female.

When drawing a fox, body proportions are a critical component of the drawing. While it is not necessary to have an in-depth knowledge of each muscle, knowing how the legs and the arms are shaped will help you to add volume and character to your drawing. Generally, a fox's body is divided into four equal parts. The slender legs are balanced by the elongated body, and the head and paws are proportional with the legs.
During the first step in drawing a fox, you should outline its head and neck. Make sure you include a dark nose and ear tips. After completing the outline, you can start to add colour and shape to each part of the body. You can also add some basic shading to give the drawing some character. Sketching the fox on your Repaper graphic tablet, you will already have a pretty good idea of how good you have been performing so far.
