About 600 years ago, there lived a prince named Patrikey Narimuntovich, famous for his resourcefulness and cunning. Since then, the name Patrickey has become equivalent to the word cunning. And since the fox has long been considered by the people as a very cunning beast, then as the heiress of the famous prince, she received Patrikeevna's patronymic.

There is no such place on the planet where it would be impossible to meet a fox. Foxes can be seen in the tundra, forests, steppes, mountains, swamps, and where no human has gone before, and near rural outskirts. Surprisingly well this beast adapts to the most different conditions, however, prefers open landscapes: splitting forests, ravines, hills, fields, forest-steppes, does not like to live in the dense taiga, in snowy areas and deserts.
One study found that 69% of their diet consisted of mice, 20% hares, 10% plant foods such as fruits, and the rest insects and other miscellaneous foods.
The fox does not chew food, but only tears the meat into small pieces and swallows them.
The fox tail changes its appearance Depending on the season, it is especially beautiful in winter. On the paws, the fox has sensitive hairs that help it navigate in space and find the right direction.
Except for the breeding season, red foxes live alone and sleep under open sky even in very frosty winters, characteristic of the northern part of their range. Since the tip of the nose and paw pads are sensitive to frost, the animal sleeps with its fluffy tail wrapped around the body.

Materials and tools:
- A3 sheet
-watercolor
- simple pencil, eraser, brushes
- a glass for water, a cloth for brushes
Master class progress:
We start with a pencil drawing. Main character fox work, place it in the middle of the sheet, start with the head and details of the muzzle.
The fox will sit on a stone in a birch grove. We draw a torso and a silhouette of a back paw, a tail.
Then we draw the paws, first the foreground, then the back.
Next, draw sketches of the background trees.
In our drawing, the fox is sitting on a stone, and behind it are spring birches. Snow-white birches will help make the fox's coat brighter. Before working with watercolors, you need to erase the extra lines of the drawing, make the drawing as transparent as possible in order to pencil drawing did not shine through the watercolor. In general, a pencil drawing should always be light, but it is hard to see in the photographs, and we deliberately intensified the color. It is also necessary to prepare watercolor, soak it in small droplets pure water in every color.
We always start with a light one, first the breast, and then a darker back, head and tail. You can outline the breast outline in orange, and then blur the color with water.
Then, gradually compacting the color, new strokes of paint are applied, we decorate the paws, draw the edging of the ears, and apply shadows on the muzzle. Decorate the stone (poke method) using gray shades colors.
We highlight the silhouette of the fox with black, draw individual hairs.
The plot of the composition is early spring, when the birch trees are covered with light fluff of foliage that has not yet blossomed. Therefore, the main background will be light green with a slight blotch. blue color sky. At the bottom of the work, we make green more saturated, implying green grass.
We draw the contours of birches in black, draw individual twigs and branches, lines characteristic of birches.
In the development of children, drawing occupies a separate niche. At first, the baby, wielding a pencil, clumsily depicts drawings in the style of “kalyaki-malaki”. Improving, over time, these pictures turn into whole plots. If you develop skills and help the baby draw, you can teach him to distinguish between figures and their position in space, determine the size, shape and ratio of the details shown on the sheet. In today's article, you will learn how to draw a fox using a pencil and step by step instructions.
Drawing geometric shapes and items for children is not a very exciting activity. It is much more interesting to portray animals and embody stories with their participation, especially if the lesson is conducted in a playful and accessible form for a beginner.
To get started, prepare a simple set:
- Paper.
Before you draw a fox with a pencil, you need to arrange the tools so that the baby can clearly see all your movements. At the same time, it is important to show an example to the child how to sit correctly, hold a pencil in his hand.
First stage
Before starting the process, you should imagine how the fox is best placed on the sheet and put the paper accordingly. Now you can start drawing step by step.
Let's do a sketch first. It should be a slightly elongated oval. This will be the body of the sitting fox. Then you can outline where the head of the beast will be. To do this, in the upper part of the oval, we begin to draw a figure resembling a mediator in shape. Having completed the action, you can begin to draw two high triangles with a pencil. These will be the ears, and should be placed at the top of the fox's head.
As previously mentioned, we are teaching children how to draw a sitting fox. Therefore, the front paws of the animal must be depicted as parallel, emanating from the upper part of the body-oval. Hind legs the chanterelles will be bent. So, they should be drawn behind the front. At the same time, you can focus on the contour of the animal, displaying the limbs with triangles with two rounded corners.
For some adults, as well as for children, the difficulty of drawing lies in the image of the muzzle. However, by drawing in stages, following this instruction, you will be able to quickly and easily transfer the image to paper. To do this, remember how to write English letter"W", since the shape of the mouth and nose remotely resembles this particular symbol. We transfer it to the muzzle of our fox so that the image is located at the bottom of the form, resembling a plectrum for a guitar. But at the same time, one should be guided by a sense of proportion, since an overly wide symbol can easily turn a fox into an evil wolf.
Now you can apply the eyes. To do this, parallel to the ears of the fox, you need to place two almond-shaped shapes. In general, they are similar to the eyes of a cat. It should be noted that for children this stage of drawing can be difficult. Therefore, you should show patience and help the crumbs.
Final stage
Our sitting fox is almost ready. It remains to draw a tail with a white tip and a mustache. After that, along the entire contour of the animal's body, a "fringe" should be applied with light pencil movements. In conclusion, on the breast and throughout the body we draw wool with small thin lines. It is desirable to apply strokes heterogeneous and rather rare. You need to finish the drawing by erasing the main contour with a soft eraser in places where it is strongly manifested. It is also worth removing the strokes of the auxiliary lines and the fox, drawn with a pencil, is ready.
As you can see, draw a fox, guided step by step instructions, for children it will be quite simple and quite exciting.
"Mom, draw!"
Every mother sooner or later hears from her child the cherished "Mom, draw me ...". And there are a lot of options for ending this phrase. Children are asked to draw a flower, a tree, a house, a dog, a cat, a butterfly and many other things. For parents who are not deprived of artistic talent, it will not be difficult to translate any request of their baby on paper. But what about those who can't draw? It remains only to learn how to portray all this. In many cartoons, there is such a character as a fox or a fox. How to draw a fox, we will discuss today. Everything is very simple. It is enough to follow the instructions, doing everything carefully and slowly. I want to offer several options for how to draw a fox with a pencil.
Fairy fox with mom
The cutest and most suitable drawing for children - a fox with a mother - is performed in several stages.
STEP 1. Let's start the drawing with four circles, two for each animal that we are going to draw. Connecting the circles to each other, we denote the lines of the neck. This will be helpful for the next step.
Step 2 Now we'll turn the top right circle into the mother fox's head. Let's place her face in profile. Then we will sketch the ears.
Step 3. Having drawn the contour of the face and ears, we apply additional lines to the latter. After that, we proceed to the image of the eye, nose and antennae. We finish on this work on the muzzle of the fox.
Step 4. In this step, we will give the bottom circle the shape of the fox's body. Carefully draw the torso the same as in the picture in front of you. Draw a tail large and fluffy.
Step 5 Draw small curved lines for the animal's thighs. Next, draw the necessary additional lines on the tail. Having completed this work on the adult fox, we move on to the fox.
Step 6. We draw his head, muzzle, ears and, of course, do not forget about the fluffy cheek.
Step 7. We put additional lines on the ears, draw his eyes, nose and antennae. Completely finish the muzzle of the fox.
Step 8. Now draw the torso, focusing again on the sample. Let's add a lush and beautiful ponytail. We draw all additional lines on the tail and torso.
Step 9. Let's clear the drawing from unnecessary details with the help of an eraser and outline the outline of the drawing more clearly. Now you can color your masterpiece.
I offer another option on how to draw a fox.
How to draw a fox in stages? Next method will help to create a red-haired beauty, more like a real beast, and not a fairy-tale character.
Fox from the triangle
Here Alternative option- how to draw a fox starting with a triangle instead of a circle. We make sketches. Draw a small triangle. We add two small triangles to it - ears. Next, draw a line of the neck, back and draw the tail. Then - a sketch of the front paw, then the back and the two remaining. Outline the lines, smoothing them and giving them softer shapes. We draw a muzzle, finishing the eyes, nose, antennae. We bring to final version ears and paws of the depicted animal. We do hatching for wool.
Our wonderful fox is ready!
If you do not know, we hasten to say that this is not as difficult as an inexperienced artist might think. Despite the fact that this forest hunter is cunning and resourceful, the lines of her body are smooth and flexible. It is enough to show a little perseverance, then you will be able to depict a cheat on a piece of paper.
Basically, all foxes look the same - short legs, a long body, a sharp muzzle with protruding ears and a bushy tail. Ours will be a great help for you, and you can easily draw a red fox.
Fox step by step drawing
Stage 1 - draw the silhouette of a fox
With light jerky lines draw a muzzle, slightly rounding it at the bottom. Then move on to the back. Go down a little to get a tail. Don't be afraid to do jerky movements pencil - in the process of drawing, all unnecessary details will be erased with an eraser.
Having drawn the tail, you can outline the area of the neck, back of the body and paws. Do not forget to mark the belly with a thin curved line as shown in the first figure.
Stage 2 - add details
Now you can start detailing your sketch. On the face you need to draw small pointed ears and go to the head itself. Swipe through the center of a thin vertical line, and then in the center of this line a small horizontal one.
In this area, the fox will have eyes. Draw a small circle for the animal's nose. The front paws must be made straight, but the hind legs are slightly curved. How to do this is shown in the figure. You can also draw a shirt-front on the chest of the animal - several lines, so that in the future we will not forget about this detail.
Stage 3 - remove extra lines
Erase from the sheet all unnecessary contour lines, leaving only a clear silhouette of a fox. Make eyes and nose rich. Ears are slightly rounded at the crown. Work on the paws and tail. It needs to be made more magnificent, and draw fur on the paws. This can be done with small strokes.
Stage 4 - adding wool, drawing eyes
This step is the penultimate one in our lesson. You just have to finish the eyes, nose and draw a small mouth. The entire body of the animal must be “covered” with wool using strokes. The figure clearly shows in which area to do this.
Stage 5 - final
So we come to the last step, which will help make our fox more realistic. Add more hair over the body, and also take time for the eyes. You need to draw small cilia and make the eyes darker. Don't forget about these small parts, like a mustache, claws on the paws, fluff on the top of the head and a black tip on the tail. That's all - the fox is ready!

The gingerbread man is naive and sat on the nose of the fox, she threw it up and ate it. What is the meaning of the fairy tale, I never thought, but now I thought about it and, probably, not to be a naive simpleton and not to trust anyone you don’t know.
