Start with the Head
Begin by drawing a simple oval shape. This will be the main part of your fox's head.

Add the Ears
On top of the oval, draw two pointed, triangular ears. Add smaller triangles inside for their inner ear details.

Draw the Face
Now, give your fox some personality! Draw two small dots for eyes, an upside-down triangle for the nose, and a simple curved line for a sweet smile.

Outline the Body
Below the head, draw another, slightly smaller oval. This will form the main part of your fox's body.

Sketch the Tail
From the back of the body, draw a large, fluffy, curved shape for the fox's tail. Make it nice and bushy!

Detail the Tail
Add a wavy line to the tip of the tail to give it that classic fox tail look.

Draw Front Legs
Now, let's add the front legs. Draw two short, curved lines extending downwards from the front of the body oval.

Add Back Legs
Complete the legs by drawing two more short, curved lines for the back legs, just behind the front ones.
