How to draw a fox
- In the middle of the paper, sketch a circle for the fox’s head.
- Add three egg-shaped ovals to the head for the ears and muzzle.
- Overlap the lower right part of the head with a slightly larger circle for the neck.
- Sketch a much larger oval to represent the fox’s body.
- Connect a set of elongated ovals that represent the front legs and feet.
- Follow a similar process with four ovals for the back legs and feet.
- Draw the tail out of a long, almost banana-shaped oval.
- Refine the fox’s body shape and add facial features.
- Darken your refinements with ballpoint pen and erase the pencil outlines.
- If desired, colorize the drawing to complete it.
What distinguishes a fox?
The fur is a little shaggy and protruding. Here you can already draw the grain of the fur (white, black and red fur).
How to draw
The first step to learning to draw is very simple: you just have to start! Grab a pencil and paper and just get started. Draw a few lines to get a first feel for the material. Play with different pencils and degrees of hardness or use different drawing paper.
What can I draw easily?
Anything can be used as a motif for drawing, from fruit and vegetables to people, landscapes or cities, of course you can also draw abstractly, because there are no limits to art.
How can I draw well?
- Don’t compete with others. You don’t care what other people draw.
- Start with simple objects.
- Learn to see.
- Your material is not a hurdle.
- Doodling loosens your head.
- If you are a beginner: hatch and not blur!
- Find the end in time!
- Practice daily!
What do you paint as a beginner?
Would you like some examples? Anything that is round is very easy to draw (a ball, an apple, a melon, etc.). Subjects with few details can be, for example, a banana, a television, a lamp or the like. Too many different motifs at once are also more of a hindrance.
What is the hardest thing to draw?
After the face, what stands out most in an illustration are the hands. Because of the many joints, they are one of the hardest parts of the body to draw. At the same time, they are the parts of the body that are easiest to practice drawing on.
How often to practice drawing?
Just a few hours a day are enough to improve constantly and quickly. But if you really want to get good, you should be able to draw with focus every day for years.
