Step 1

Simplify the shapes of the fox into circles to work out the placement of the face, breaking up the ears, nose and head.

 

Then, add in more details by defining the nose, ears and eyes.

Step 2

Mark out the shadow areas lightly with your pencil, this will help create depth. Choosing a light yellow, pale orange and a slightly darker orange, start drawing out the light areas of the fur. Use short quick pencil strokes to create fur-like marks.

 

Choosing a range of darker colours, add in the medium shades. Then with a dark brown and black pencil to add shading to the nose, ears, eyes and shadows in the fur. Leave some areas white to show reflection in the nose.

Step 3
Add details to the eye with soft marks that blend together, use black for the pupil leaving a small area white for the reflection.
Step 4
Build up the fur layers to give more depth to your sketch, adding in darker lines where needed.

Lightly draw out foliage to decorate your picture, giving your fox a border. Start off with a very light yellow or green to draw out the leaves. Create a stem using a brown pencil.
Step 6
Slowly add in darker shades of green to create depth and shadow in the leaves and stem.
Step 7
Add details into the leaves with a dark green pencil and add any finishing touches to your drawing.
