Materials You Will Need:
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Colored markers or crayons (optional)
- Plain white paper
Step 1: Draw the Head
Start by drawing a circle in the middle of your paper. This will be the fox’s head. Remember, it doesn’t have to be perfect, so feel free to use light, gentle strokes.
Step 2: Add the Facial Features
Now, draw two small triangular shapes inside the circle for the fox’s ears. Then, slightly below the ears, draw two large oval-shaped eyes. Inside each eye, add a small circle for the highlight. Next, draw a small triangle for the fox’s nose, and curve a smiling line below it to indicate the mouth. Finally, add some curved lines above the eyes to represent the fur.
Step 3: Draw the Body
Extend two slightly curved lines down from the head to create the fox’s neck and back. Next, draw a large oval shape below the head for the body. Make sure it’s wider at the bottom to give your fox a cute, chubby appearance.
Step 4: Add Legs and Tail
Draw four small rectangle-shaped legs extending from the body. Make the legs short and stubby to make your fox look adorable. Then, at the back of the body, sketch a long, fluffy tail with a pointed tip.
Step 5: Fill in the Details
Now that you have the basic outline, it’s time to add some details. Draw small semicircles at the bottom of each leg to represent the paws. On the fox’s face, add some whiskers by drawing short, straight lines on either side of the nose. You can also put some spots or stripes on the body if you’d like. Be creative!
Step 6: Erase Unnecessary Lines
Using your eraser, carefully remove any unwanted pencil lines. Be gentle so that you don’t accidentally erase any important parts of your fox drawing. Once you’re done erasing, your fox should be ready to be colored!
Step 7: Add Color (Optional)
If you want to make your fox drawing more vibrant, grab your colored markers or crayons and start coloring! Foxes are typically reddish-brown, so you can use shades of brown, orange, and even yellow to bring your fox to life. Don’t forget to add color to the eyes and other details.
And there you have it! You have successfully drawn a cute fox for children. We hope you enjoyed following this step-by-step guide. Remember, practice makes perfect, so keep drawing and having fun!
