Easy How to Draw a Cartoon Fox Tutorial and Cartoon Fox Coloring Page
Learning how to draw a Cartoon Fox just got a whole lot easier with this step by step tutorial. Focus on the face, you have lots of room for a giant fluffy tail and pretty fall background.
Cartoon Fox Drawing
For this cartoon fox drawing, the graceful face is made extra wide, and the slender neck extra narrow. A cropped in view (that leaves the legs off the page) means there’s plenty of room to draw a a tail that practically fills in the entire background. And who can resist adding giant fluffy tail to something, or anything for that matter?
A cartoon drawing is really a simple form of line art that exaggerates the features of something or someone. Long things become longer, short things become shorter, and so on. Those that learn how to do cartooning really well go can on to make a successful living at it. And those that are just starting out, are smart to copy some of their favorites cartoons, just to get the feel for it.
Many an artist has gotten their start over the years with cartoon drawing. The simplicity of it makes it accessible to all, and easy to imitate. And when a drawing feels like it was easy to do, and brings a smile to your face when you’re done? That’s a pretty powerful combination..
Why Draw with Guides?
You may have noticed that all of the tutorials on this website have a dashed vertical line and horizontal line running through the center of each step. If students make their own centered lines on their own paper, before drawing, they will have an easy reference to follow. All they need to do is fold their sheet of paper in half both ways, make a crease, and unfold. The best part is, by the time the drawing is done and colored in, the creases will have disappeared!
