Want to draw something foxy? You've come to the right place. Whether you're looking to sketch a realistic animal, draw a cute cartoon character, or design an anime hero or villain, you'll find what you're looking for among these easy foxes drawing tutorials for kids.
What kind of animal is a fox? As you draw each one, you'll notice the dog-like features. All foxes have four legs, erect ears, long snouts, and bushy tails. Foxes make up a special group within the canine family.
Some people mistake foxes for felines. This is because some of their movements are catlike, and their ears and tails can resemble those of cats. Their babies are called kits, a shortened form of "kittens."
If you want to color your drawings, you'll need colors like orange, red, black, and white. The red fox is the most common fox species in the world.
It lives in North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and even Australia, although it is not a native species there.
Other foxes are grey with reddish markings. Two of the fox species on this list - the Arctic and fennec foxes - look quite different. Arctic foxes are grey or black in summer and pure white in winter. Fennec foxes are light brown, the color of sand.
