How to draw a fox, step by step
1Draw the sitting body, down the chest and around the back
Start with the sitting body: draw one long line down the chest, along the bottom and up around the back. Think of a cozy fox-shaped hill.
2Draw the head with a pointy snout, all the way around
Draw the head on top, sliding out to a pointy snout on the left and curving all the way back around. Foxes have wonderfully pointy faces.
3Add a tall pointy ear
Add a tall pointy ear on top of the head, like a party hat.
4Add another pointy ear beside it
Add a second pointy ear right beside it. Now your fox is listening.
5Draw one big bushy tail sweeping around the front
Here comes the best part: draw one big bushy tail starting at the back and sweeping all the way around the front, like a fluffy scarf.
6Draw a small curve across the tail for the white tip
Draw a small curve across the end of the tail. That marks the snowy white tip every fox is famous for.
7Draw a curve for the fluffy white chest
Draw a long curve down from the head to the bottom of the body. That is the fluffy white chest.
8Draw a straight line for the front leg
Draw one straight line down the middle for the front leg. Nice and steady.
9Draw a little round eye
Give your fox a little round eye near the snout.
10Add a tiny triangle nose on the snout
Add a tiny triangle nose right at the pointy end of the snout. Boop!
11Draw a happy smile. Hello, fox!
Finish with a happy smile under the nose. Hello, fox!
Time to color!
Classic look: a warm orange body, head, ears and tail, with a white chest, tummy and tail tip, plus a black nose, then try an autumn forest background with a few falling leaves!
In the live version, coloring is tap-to-fill: pick a color, tap a part, done.
Frequently asked questions
- Is a fox hard for kids to draw?
- It looks harder than it is. The sitting pose does most of the work: the body is one long curve, the tail is one big sweep, and the ears are simple triangles. Most kids can finish all eleven steps in a few minutes.
- What is the trickiest step in this fox drawing?
- The head, because it stretches out into a pointy snout before curving back around. Go slowly and remember it is just one loop with a point on the left side. DrawAlong checks each stroke gently, so a wobbly snout still counts.
- Can we draw the fox on a tablet or phone?
- Yes. DrawAlong runs right in the browser, so kids can draw the fox with a finger or stylus on any tablet or phone, no downloads needed. To follow along on paper, any pencil and crayons will do.
