Drawing occupies a separate niche in the development of children. First, the baby, wielding a pencil, clumsily draws drawings in the style of “scribbles.” Improving over time, these pictures turn into entire stories. If you develop skills and help your child draw, you can teach him to distinguish between figures and their position in space, determine the sizes, shapes and relationships of the parts depicted 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 depict 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, you should prepare a simple set:
- Sheet of 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 the child an example of how to sit correctly and hold a pencil in his hand.
First stage
Before starting the process, you should imagine how best to position the fox on the sheet and lay the paper accordingly. Now you can start drawing step by step.
First we make a sketch. It should look like an oval slightly elongated vertically. This will be the body of a sitting fox. Then you can outline where the animal's head will be. To do this, in the upper part of the oval we begin to draw a figure resembling a pick in shape. Having completed the action, you can begin to draw two tall triangles with a pencil. These will be the ears, and they should be placed at the top of the fox's head.
As previously mentioned, we teach children how to draw a sitting fox. Therefore, the animal’s front legs should be depicted as parallel, emanating from the upper part of the oval body. Hind legs the chanterelle's will be bent. This means they should be drawn behind the front ones. At the same time, you can focus on the outline of the animal, drawing out the limbs in triangles with two rounded corners.
For some adults, as well as for children, the difficulty of drawing lies in depicting a face. However, by drawing step by step, following these instructions, you will be able to quickly and easily transfer the image to paper. To do this, it’s worth remembering how to write english letter“W”, since the shape of the mouth and nose vaguely resembles this particular symbol. We transfer it to the face of our fox so that the image is located at the bottom of the shape, reminiscent of a guitar pick. But you 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, place two almond-shaped shapes parallel to the fox’s ears. In general, they are similar to the eyes of a cat. Please note that this stage of drawing may be difficult for children. Therefore, you should be patient and help the little ones.
Final stage
Our sitting fox is almost ready. All that remains is to draw a tail with a white tip and a mustache. After this, a “fringe” should be applied along the entire contour of the animal’s body with light pencil movements. Finally, on the chest and throughout the body we draw the fur with small thin lines. It is advisable to apply strokes that are heterogeneous and rather sparse. You need to finish the drawing by erasing the main outline with a soft eraser in places where it is strongly visible. It is also worth removing the strokes of the auxiliary lines and the fox drawn in pencil is ready.
How can you see, draw a fox, guided by step by step instructions, it will be quite easy and quite exciting for children.
“Mom, draw!”
Every mother sooner or later hears from her child the cherished “Mom, draw for me...”. And there are a great many 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 on paper any request of their baby. But what about those who don’t know how to draw? All that remains is to learn how to depict it all. Many cartoons feature a character such as a fox or fox. Today we will discuss how to draw a fox. It's very simple. It is enough to follow the instructions, doing everything carefully and slowly. I would like to offer several options for how to draw a fox with a pencil.
Fairytale little fox with mom
The cutest and most suitable drawing for children - a little fox with its mother - is performed in several stages.
Step 1. Let's start the drawing with four circles, two for each animal we are going to draw. Connecting the circles to each other, we will mark the lines of the neck. This will help for the next stage.
Step 2. Now we will turn the top right circle into the mother fox's head. Let's place her face in profile. Then we'll sketch out the ears.
Step 3. Having drawn the contour of the face and ears, we apply additional lines to the latter. After this, we proceed to the image of the eye, nose and antennae. This is where we finish the work on the fox’s muzzle.
Step 4. In this step we will give the bottom circle the outline of the fox's body. Carefully draw a torso the same as in the drawing in front of you. Draw the tail large and fluffy.
Step 5. Draw small arched lines to indicate the animal's hips. Next, draw the necessary additional lines on the tail. Having completed our work on the adult fox, we move on to the cub.
Step 6. Draw his head, face, ears and, of course, don’t forget about his fluffy cheek.
Step 7. We draw additional lines on the ears, draw eyes, a nose and antennae. We completely finish the little fox's face.
Step 8. Now we draw the torso, again focusing on the sample. Let's add a fluffy and beautiful ponytail. Draw all additional lines on the tail and body.
Step 9. Clean the drawing from unnecessary details using an eraser and draw a brighter outline of the drawing. Now you can color your masterpiece.
I offer another option on how to draw a fox.
How to draw a fox step by step? The following method will help you create a red-haired beauty that looks more like a real animal, and not like a fairy-tale character.
Fox from triangle
Here's an alternative - 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 we draw a line for the neck, back and draw the tail. Then - a sketch of the front paw, then the back and the remaining two. We outline the lines, smoothing them out and giving them softer shapes. We draw the face, completing the eyes, nose, and antennae. We bring it to final version ears and paws of the depicted animal. We do shading for the wool.
Our wonderful fox is ready!

Greetings, dear colleagues!
Our vocabulary this week is “The Forest and Its Inhabitants.” Yesterday my children and I learned to draw a fox. I'm not a supporter drawing"by the hand of a child" or transformation children's drawing to coloring book. There are many types and techniques of image in which hand-drawn For adults, the outline is quite acceptable. And drawing V classic version (which you can’t do without) involves the child’s independent creativity. I don’t know what techniques you use in your work, but I drawing complex objects I use the most tested reception: step by step drawing. At the same time, I create my drawing on the board together with the children. Who does it more beautifully? big question, but we create together and there is no need draw for the children.
Drawing the fox in this way, at the first stages we all simply laughed! Our initial outlines didn’t really look like a fox. Some simply doubted that this particular animal would end up. There were the most interesting assumptions: "This is a dog, a sheep, a horse."
And only when drew The children's confidence has increased.
We finished the sketch in a completely positive way and happily colored it with oil pastels.
The next day painted the background, also interesting, there are four children at a time, so he it turned out so stripy. Then we added snow-covered silhouettes together. And when we got to the location foxes in the picture, also had fun souls: At first we decided to stick small foxes in the background, then ideas with families and friends appeared. Finally, everything was put together. And, although the forest with so many foxes looks a little strange, we fell in love with our creation and decorated the locker room with our first winter work.
And today, as often happens, many children are already taking home whole stacks of drawings with chanterelles. When I see with what pleasure they draw in free activity what they just learned, I’m just touched. They are so touching, our little artists!
Red-haired beauty, we all really like her. Can you guess who we're talking about? Today we will talk about how to draw a fox with a pencil step by step. You probably know her well. This is famous hero many and . She has a very fluffy tail, a mysterious expression on her face, white cheeks, pointed ears... Dressed in a beautiful red fur coat, the fox tries to cheat and deceive everywhere. She did everything she could: she stole cheese from a crow, lured Pinocchio, and even ate a bun. So let's try to draw our favorite heroine. We take a pencil in our hands and get started.
Step one. Let's draw a circle - the head. In the center we draw two horizontal and one vertical auxiliary lines. This is the level of the eyes and nose. Immediately below the head we place the oval-torso horizontally. Let's outline the paws and tail, as shown in the picture. From the head up two short lines, which will later turn into ears. 
Step two. We finish drawing the ears of the little fox-sister. Along the edges of the face, draw a muzzle in a small, small zigzag. At the eye level that we have outlined, we draw, as it were, the upper eyelid. We trace it several times to get a wide line. These are the kind of closed, cunning eyes our red-haired heroine will have. Along the intended tail we draw another line from above and connect it to the body. We also don’t forget to make a few notched hairs at the end of the tail. Let's show one animal's paw. 
Step three. Let's draw one more line on the cute ears. At a vertical level, draw a triangular nose, and below it a smile and a cheek. Let's make notches on the breasts to show the thick and fluffy fur. Let's draw the lower part of the tail. And let's draw the paws. 
Step four. Let's show a beautiful curve on the ears and thin eyebrows above the eyes. Now let's draw the second cheek. Let's make the breast even fluffier using a zigzag line. There are still a few things left: to finish drawing the paws and connecting the tail to the body. 
Step five. Adding touches: Draw the ear as shown in the picture. On the ponytail, separate the white part of the ponytail. 
Step six. We take an eraser in our hands and remove all unnecessary lines. Now we draw a thick line around the outline of the fox. 
I hope everything worked out for you and now you will know how to draw a fox step by step. Now let's draw some more.
Let's look at pictures for children with a fox and talk about this animal. The guys will find out whether the fox is justified in becoming an animal - an anti-hero in children's fairy tales, and why it symbolizes cunning and deceit. We will show them the animal in the photo in wildlife, frames from cartoons and pictures drawn with pencil and paints.
We will tell you what the fox actually eats, what interesting habits it has, and who its enemies are. Kids will watch an educational video and receive a short master class on drawing an animal step by step.
Photos of foxes for children
In one of our articles we talked about the wolf, the ancestor of the domestic dog. So, the fox, an elegant beauty with a bright red back, a white belly and dark paws, is his little sister. also belongs to the Canidae family. It is somewhat smaller in size than a wolf. Its length without tail is up to 1 m, weight – up to 10 kg. The animal's tail is fluffy, its length is up to 6 cm. While running, the tail helps the fox keep its balance. People say that she uses it to cover the tracks left in the snow. We'll find out a little later if this is true.
The cheat lives not only in forests. Chanterelles inhabit the tundra, forests, forest-steppes, steppes, deserts and mountain ranges. The color of the animal’s coat depends on its habitat: among those individuals that live further south, it is more faded, among northerners it is brighter, more saturated. The fox coloring is clearly visible in the photo against a white background.

In fairy tales, the fox hunts for food, steals chickens from the chicken coop, and at the same time is not averse to eating cheese. It's almost the same in nature. The red-haired animal is a predator and hunter; its prey is mice and other rodents, hares, geese, wood grouse and other birds that find themselves on the ground. At the same time, she eats eggs, berries, fruits, and sometimes leaves and stems of plants.

Cool and funny pictures with foxes
The fox is an animal symbolizing cunning and deceit. Because of its bright red fur, many peoples considered it evil spirits. In ancient Roman mythology there was even such a demon, a fiery fox. But animals cannot be good or bad; in nature they are driven by the desire to live, feed, and raise offspring. That's why the fox is like this - to hunt those who are tough for her, steal when she's hungry, and confuse her tracks in case of danger.

Funny foxes know how to adapt. Unlike the same wolves, they can live near human settlements. More than once, cheaters were caught stealing from garbage cans on the outskirts of big cities.

Fox with cubs. With cheese, in a hole. Covers his tracks with his tail
Chanterelles live in pairs or families. Their houses are badger burrows or dug themselves. For minks, animals choose mountain slopes and ravines with sandy soil. These areas must be protected from rain and melt water. Several fox holes are connected by a complex of passages and lead to a single nest in which the animals raise their young.

The mother fox gives birth to cubs once a year, 4-14 cubs at a time. They are deaf and blind, but covered with fluffy fur. A newborn wolf cub and a fox cub could be confused if not for the white tip of the tail of the latter.

 |
To protect babies from danger, the cheat can “move” from hole to hole several times. People also say that when escaping from pursuit or hiding, a fox covers its tracks with its tail. But if you make a request on the Internet for photos of this process, they will not be available, since the animal does not act that way. While running away, she keeps her tail hanging.

With other animals: with a hedgehog, with a hare, with a crane, with a wolf
Interesting relationships between foxes and other animals. In folk tales, she is often credited with, if not friendship, then some kind of temporary alliance with, in order to catch a bunny, for example, or to implement some other cunning plan. In the wild, wolves and foxes are enemies, competing over territory and prey. There are only a few known cases of friendship between these animals, and all of them took place in zoos.

In some other children's fairy tales, the fox tries by force or cunning to overcome a bunny, crane, cockerel, and other seemingly defenseless animals. In the end, thanks to their intelligence and ingenuity, they manage to escape from the cheat, and even punish her. In nature, clashes between a fox and its prey are not a pleasant sight; it is better not to witness such a thing.

Sly and kind cartoon foxes. Guess the cartoon or fairy tale from the picture
The cheat used to appear in cartoons based on folk tales, such as “Kolobok”, “The Fox and the Crane”, “The Zhikharka”, and others. Her image was approximately the same - cunning, insidious, striving in every way to get what she deserves, and in the end being left with nothing.
Today, in domestic and foreign animated films, you can find a completely new cartoon fox - kind, smart, going to the rescue of others, and able to be a devoted friend.
